 Today is a day of celebration. The final log has been split and that task is complete. Yay!

The day started early with a very beautiful sky indeed. It has been another glorious sunny day all day however it was pretty cold before the sun came up. The men were in and again only Bekir and Halil and they got stuck in to the final pile of logs, Bekir doing the cutting and Halil stacking inside. I found Louise on the back of the sofa in the lounge having found the sun and she was very happy indeed. Angela wasn't feeling great this morning with the cold that Rosie gave both of us however she got stuck in to clearing out the gardening room and Glass Room and did an awesome job, planting new seeds and generally tidying and clearing. When it got to lunch time I got an arty shot of the axe in a log then did some of my own task, taking down raised beds. Unfortunately the screw driver bit fell out and I lost it - I spent AGES looking, and that stopped my progress. I'll be back to this tomorrow.

Through the afternoon the splitting continued and then suddenly it was the final logs and then they were tidying up and bringing in kindling for fire starters. The inside woodstore is more full than I've ever seen it and we couldn't fit much more in if we tried. Incredible, and very good to have as we probably now have enough for two winters and can keep this level stocked up every year. This evening just before bed time Rosie went for a bounce on the trampoline and her hair got really frizzy with static; it was very funny.

So there you are; tomorrow on to the next tasks. Thanks for reading.
