A world of pain....

It has been the sort of few days that really we could manage without.

Management has been brilliant, Social Services, despite themselves are about to start doing their jobs.

She has helped them realize what is in various codes of practice not to mention the law.

I have been nose against the window hard working in Uni. Training days, interviewing lecturers and sorting huge piles of undergraduate applications.

Naturally with half term looming, I have gone down with what she calls a bit of a cold, us men all really know it's Ebola, Bubonic Plague or something equally bad.

This did not prevent fire wood being cut.

Lots of it, we processed a ton of today, bloody hard stuff too, had to pause operations to sharpen the chain twice. Thank goodness one of the bundles we brought in was stuff that was not just Ash but really dry too.

That and feeling really ill made for a tiring day.

So anyway, I have retired to bed, leaving the stove running in furnace mode.

It's 24 C in the living room and about 18 up here in my bedroom.
