And here we sit in joy and happiness.
Great is the joy here in Penole, there could be a few reasons for this.
A truly monumental pile of wood got cut today, more than a cord.
Quite a pile of wood got chopped today.
A decent amount of barrowing and stacking got done today.
No, none of that counts.
The sawing was anyway a bit of an ordeal with the wind strong and from quite the wrong direction we were cutting in cloud of dust most of the day.
No, the true source of joy was Bihan, the students beloved C5 estate restored to good health and happy running by the greasy garage.
Bihan, not quite a suitable name, Bihan is breton for small, Welsh is bychan. Small is not a suitable name for a C5 Estate Branwen decided it was called that, based on a lovely piece of logic. At some stage someone had pranged the wing mirror and replaced it with a second hand one. This had Birmingham written on it shortened to B'ham, which Barnwen read as Bihan.
Bihan though has not been well, blown a head gasket and, for good measure one of the drive shafts gave up the unequal struggle meaning that 70 mph was accompanied by a heavy vibration from underneath the car.
All that has been restored and the student was unable to conceal her glee as she drove up the drive to collect Tallie from work in "her" car.
The three spare wheels for the T4 also landed today along with the new extension tent for our summer camping.
Of course all is not cheer and light, Mr Tick Branwens AX, a lovely car as characterful as the old deaux chevaux has developed a mysterious charging fault. It is not charging, though the battery is fine and the altenator is delivering lots of power a silly fault One that I have given up on and sent the car to the greasy garage.
I sense quite a bill to come.
