In my home that's a euphemism for piddling in the back yard? :obscene-moneypiss:

Pleasant temperature today. Can sit in the garden again with the headphones and a beer. :guiness; Unless there is a thunder storm.

Sub zero temperatures really are the devil's work. Since being laid up last week I am finding it very hard to cope with the current temperatures. Its made me into a wimp. Times like these I want another job.

After a couple of mild winters I had forgotten what it is to be cold.

-5C here this morning and under zero all day.

We had our annual Christmas music evening here in the village yesterday. I was in a quartet singing Carols in an unheated barn in sub-zero temperatures but we kept ourselves warm with hot chocolate and mulled wine.

Thr sun is out here for a change :dance: Haven't seen it in a while, makes all the difference even if it is cold.

I've progressed from the fire pit to the pot bellied stove. Much more efficient. I do some work for half an hour then go sit beside it for 10 mins. Boils my water for lashings of tea. BTU = British tea units :grin:

I'm burning some wood shreddings that went through my waste shredder a few years ago and I prevented from composting. Saves burning stuff that will be going on the stove in the house.

Pic of my log pile. It goes back twice as far as that post with the red fire extinguisher on it. I start getting nervous when it gets down to less than three years supply. Luckily that hasn't happened in quite a few years.
