26.01.2023 Tote that log!

 ~~

 Thursday 26th 3C/38F. Up at all hours. Had a strange episode at 5.00. Extreme dizziness, nausea and fever. Sat on the freezing toilet for half an hour and then went back to bed until 7.30. The stove is lit after the lounge fell to 14C/57F overnight. 17C/63F upstairs.

 8.42 Heavy overcast but light enough for a walk.

 10.00  Cool, with an eye watering breeze. The fast moving sky was carrying blue smudges at times. Even a hint of brightness now. The roads were wet. So I was dodging traffic. 

 After morning coffee I started carrying in more firewood from the greenhouse. One heavy basket at a time. Until there was about 1m^2 against the wall near the stove but at a safe distance. It is time consuming having to handle the logs several times. 

 I can't think of a more direct way without it spending some time drying out in the greenhouse. Which means bringing it all in from the trailer. Stacking it against the house wall. Moving it to the left when there is room. Then carrying it indoors when the stock in the lounge is depleted. The trailer is still half full of smaller logs from the last load. Which fortunately don't need splitting. I need the trailer for the recycling yard and gravel for the drive. 

 12.45  5C/41F  Solid sunshine. Nearly lunch time. 

 I  moved the contents of the trailer into the greenhouse. Lots of containers of small stuff too. Which can be used to boost the stove if it sulks.

 Dinner was poached eggs on toast with tomato soup to follow.
