My sense of smell is beginning to return ! I got a faint shift of mint when I sniffed the toothpaste !

Why you sniffing toothpaste?

I going to my cousin's 40th birthday tonight. I regret saying I'd go to be honest as I'm not feeling like socialising.

Ooops, I'd better feed the cats, and then I shall feed me.

Dry but bitterly cold and spent much of the day doing nothing.
No motivation.
Altercation with a particularly obnoxious touroid from the holiday house opposite. Blocking our parking justified by a fairy story about not being able to park by the house due to wheelchair use. The offender claimed to have the same bicycle as I do. I do not have a bike but a trike so this is obviously invented.
A neighbour from further along is also trying to catch them and they will not know what hit them. She was heading to see a family where there had been a death this morning but not unexpected when we met.

Not one of my best days and I will be invited very soon to get camera on a tube shoved down my throat.
Hope for more cheerful day tomorrow.

Speaking of locks... I'm at my last delivery today and they've lost the keys to let me in, and snapped the key in the padlock of the gate to get out... Even though that is academic as I'm not even in yet 😂

I know that feeling. Hope it turns out better than you think...

Toblerone are moving to Slovakia.

Yikes no longer Swiss. More reason for Aldi to make their knock off a permanently stocked item and not just for Christmas.

I ended up turning all of the wood into logs. Guess a load of larger stuff (6-ish inch diameter) is less faff to do than a similar weight of thinner sections. Anyways, it's all stacked in the garage, the sawdust has been swept up and dumped in the green wheelie bin, and I won't have to worry about doing any next week when the weather's due to turn a bit pants.

I've celebrated with a and the last 2-finger kit kat.

Going to have a nice relaxing evening.

I got given a load of really big logs, but nowt to smallerize them with. Axe would be hard work i'm thinking, but a good work out.

Tobleronesky!!

Is that Chelseas latest signing ?

Vegetable & barley soup for supper, followed by veggie curry & rice.

The girls shared a can of tuna as it is Madam Poppy's "half birthday" today (she's 13 1/2), and it is also nine years to the day that I first met Madam Lexi and agreed to foster her

Either a long-handled axe or a proper splitting maul. I have the former, which works well enough. You'll need to use one large lump as a chopping block.

Once you have the knack of hitting the wood in the right way, it's actually very therapeutic. Although it can also be a tad sweary when the wood is knotty and your axe is stuck...

Oak is tough and requires a bit of welly, ash is probably the easiest to split, fruitwood and hazel middling and mulberry can be both brittle and knotty at the same time.
