… snows of winter today.

\"1st<\/a>I woke up to find a light scattering all over the place. Not much, and it didn’t last long either but the first snows nevertheless.<\/p>\n

It’s rather ominous.<\/p>\n

So after breakfast I chopped a couple of bucketloads of wood. In the lean-to that I have been slowly repairing there’s all kinds of bits of wood in there so I’m slowly hacking it into manageable pieces for the little stove. I get through about half a bucket each day and there’s plenty to go at. <\/p>\n

In fact this little woodstove heats up the place quite quickly burning all of the offcuts and I haven’t had the gas fire on at all yet.<\/p>\n

I also noticed that the heavy chipboard lid that I was using to cover up my breadbin outside – that’s given up the ghost too. So I made a new lid to measure out of an offcut of waterproof plywood covered in a couple of plastic binliners.<\/p>\n

This afternoon I fitted the wind turbine onto the pole and I’ve attached that to the fence. I’ve not yet wired it in as the light went, but that’s a job to do tomorrow hopefully. And I need it too. We’ve had no sun for a couple of days.<\/p>\n
