A day at a time....

So anyway this morning off we fondly waved the management to play in the woods.

We, as in me and the childer settled down to the day.

We had a plan, a firewood plan. So off went, Tallie and I with the chainsaw.

Which refused to start. So into town to refuel the van and open a bank account for Taliesin, out to greasy garage; strip the chainsaw give everything a blast with the airline and presto hey away we went.

Back home at last and time for an outbreak of serious saw. Then axe then barrow.

A goodly saw blunting amount of wood, reduced to slivers by elwell steel.

Then barowed away.

The scheduled MOT on the new Transit was put on hold by it's refusal to start, the brand new battery being flat.

This called for some serious charging and then the trip was on. The new tranist is suddenly less attractive. It was cheap to the point of being a gift, the tyres and engine being worth a lot more than it owes us but serious welding required.

Will we go for it?

Or, will we break it?

Watch this space....

Then on and out tonight both of us on a mad dash to the chippie to get the kids fed then off to rugby with Tallie.

For some reason I am a bit tired.

Her, well all she did was sit round all day, and fell 3 trees of course.

Bed sounds a really attractive option.
