Sunshine and chopping sticks! I dunno why but I always enjoy chopping sticks to light the woodburner, especially in the sunshine and especially from free wood I have scrounged. Sticks are quite expensive to buy now and in 5 to 10 minutes I can chop enough sticks to keep me going for a fortnight.I used to chop sticks at a local farm for very little reward when I was a nipper. Those days everyone had coal fires so the farmer went around the streest with a tractor and trailer flogging sticks. I recently bumped into him in his retirement and he gets a good income from renting out his land to 'horsey' people.I think he must own a goodly amount of land locally!

Seeing my son, pregnant daughter in law and my granddaughter coming to visit and stay for dinner. We had a bank holiday today in Ireland for St. Brigid’s day.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

It also looks like my new job will be made permanent, via a two year contract which means I'm essentially permanent at this level.
Congratulations Sariss on your permanent job.
