Nope, having lived in some stupidly cold (for Oz!) places you can't cut and split too much firewood.

I decided to start cutting a new access track through the scrub. Now there's a storm approaching.

There is Always plenty of things to keep me occupied during this "Lock Down"
But Bejesus I have pains and cramps in places I haven't felt for several years, Roofing is a Bastard of a job

Most of the work seems to be carried out on Tip-Toe so balance comes into it not to mention the (AWW ****) bit.

ie. you climb back onto the roof when you suddenly realise something you meant to get is still laying on the ground so down you go once again. (Aww ****!)


Ladder work can be quite tiring when doing it all day & is usually when fatigue takes over & accidents can occur.

All you blokes will be glad to go back to work for a rest.

You can never have to much firewood.

Depends on the winter.

Last year i think we used the fireplace once or twice,some years we use it for weeks.

The last few winters here have been very mild.

We have a huge pile of firewood,mainly from a couple of large Brush boxes we cut down two years ago.

I'm going to have to get some in a couple of days - my nephew, who is out of action at the moment (shoulder and hand problems), rang me today and asked if I could get some for him.

Nope, making cups of GREEN tea, as the active ingredient is an ionophore which pulls zinc into your cells and... heck, I need to get OUT more !!!!!!

Trying the '5 Second Rule'. If you have an idea to do something, then IF you start doing it within 5 seconds, you will find it som much easier to complete the task
. All based on Natural Inertia, or Do Nothing by Default, takes 5 or so seconds to talk yourself OUT of something...

I can talk myself out of stuff in way under 5 seconds, I reckon under 1 sec.

Me: "I should mow the lawn"
Also Me: "nope"

I have to make room for the new Disco Tdi300 so I am preparing the campervan for selling soon.
