I dug my Carlton Cobra out of my garage and went for a ride over to Lacock on it . It rode better than I remembered from the last time . I did 12 miles .mothers were quite a few other cyclists about .
I wish b****y motorists would use their indicators, I almost crossed in front of an Audi SUV because the Duck Egg wasn't using them ! Use them or lose them I say !

We've had half a dozen types of weather here today including a lot of rain, which we needed.

I got lots of creative things done, washed up and swept the apartment. It was grubby again five minutes later but at least I made the effort...

Casual sex ?

You would think they would at least put some thought into it !

Your mind is a curious place sometimes @Illaveago...

I've got a big box of small poplar strips waiting for me to bring them back from work tomorrow...

I could trebuchet over some kindling. Kindling and small wood is not exactly lacking here.

It’s interesting reading about log burning stoves I was reading that some types of wood along with coal are to be banned Wood must be kiln dried I assume that means that logs cut by individual will be breaking some sort of law.I wonder how this is going to affect those who wood burning stoves and store logs to dry naturally I can’t remember all the details if i remember correctly the term used was green wood.Apparently this releases particulates into the atmosphere.Well that’s bonfire night doomed

Just watched two crows chase away a gull in the sky above our garden.

It's since clouded over and the fluffy cumulus have developed into stratocumulus. Glad I got out first thing for a leg stretch under the clear blue sky

Crow thugs metioned again.

They're banning the sale of green wood below a certain quantity - 2 cubic meters if memory serves.

The new law doesn't affect those of us with our own wood supply. Mind, I season most stuff for at least two years. Unless it's mulberry, which needs longer as it's very sappy wood, or it's deadfall, which is fine as long as it's not damp or wet from rain or lying on the ground.

Council contractor will be hopping over your fence at night to investigate your wood pile with his moisture meter. The RIPA probably allows for it.
