A perfect morning.

Now I must admit that today is shaping up well so far.

It's a lovely day with the rain that washed everything clean yesterday blown away in a moderate breeze.

Moderate breeze is good, comfortable, but not hot. Time to round up the troops and do a bit of chainsaw therapy.

Choping wood followed by some very enjoyable axe waving. There is something terribly therapeutic about wielding a sharp axe. 60 year old tools that might have a tale to tell should they ever talk, well, should they ever talk then it will be time for me to go with the nice men in the white coats.

Quiet, thinking, planning time. Good exercise and a relief from the frustrations of everyday life.

The mistress of all we owe money on has gone off to tesc with plastic and hopefully will be suitably pleased that we have a bit of fire wood should we need to take the chill off the evening.
