Logging


Today was grey but dry, slept until 0845h as Ruaridh did not waken at all! Had another leisurely bath, mainly to use the boiling hot water that we have loads of at the moment, hair washed and ready for breakfast.
We decided to go into the woods today and see if we could find some hardwood trees that had fallen, phoned Christine our neighbour as she was keen to come and help.
Piled into the Jeep and away to the woods, found some trees but they were quite damp, then found this fallen Ash great, also dry and ready for burning. Christine was a great help and we all did our bit, with the rip saw. Ruaridh had a great time chasing everything that moved, he disappeared on numerous occasions!
Back home had a light lunch, Graham chain-sawed the logs and split them, we then stacked the dry ones in the shed and filled the house baskets. The damp ones are in the log store.
Christine stayed for dinner, leek quiche with homegrown leeks, roast fir apple tatties homegrown, bought carrots! swilled down with a can of Tennants! great.
Walked home with Christine and took the wee fellow, saw her hens that were on their perch for the night.
Having a cup of tea then bed, pooped. Goodnight.
