Stocking up by happypat

Stocking up

A nice load of firewood to see us through the next few weeks.

Three good things:
1. A lovely days shopping with Lesley.
2. Made a start on the Christmas shopping.
3. A General Election in December....not sure if that’s a good thing or not but it might trigger off some progress with Brexit!
Enough wood for the winter. Keep warm.

Well done Harry , at least you will be warm and cosy over the next few weeks . . We surely need fires/ heating as the weather turns frosty ! A gen election in December !!! - they even want to spoil the Christmas feelings and Goodwill to all men ! I just want to bury my head in the sand till its all over - so fed up with our so called government and Brexit !! Haven't thought of Christmas yet , but met up with a friend for lunch today and she declared she has written her Christmas Cards - she has to do them when in the mood !! -- rather premature in my mind !!

Looks like a nice clean load.. FG just said.. 'whats Pat think about having an election in Dec'.. sounds like something needs to be done..

Ooh - nice trailer! Always useful! Harry doesn't have to bend too much with this way of stacking! Our load of wood is just dumped on the drive!

@beryl I feel the same Beryl....something* got to give though but I’m not sure anyone feels like voting for any so called politicians, they have disgraced themselves in my eyes arguing the toss all the time!

@julzmaioro It might stop the rot Julz...but we are all so fed up with the lot of them! We are a laughing stock I feel! They will be arguing later this evening whether to have it on the 9th or 12th....never stops!

@maggiemae They load the trailer up with loader & it’s easy to upload at this end. I would normally give him a hand but wasn’t allowed this time. Must be much more bending if it’s on the ground.

@brennieb Men & their wood! 😍
October 29th, 2019  
@sdutoit Might last until just after Christmas Sylvia but it’s good to know we have lots in storage. Nice & dry too.

Bep
That surely is a nice load of firewood, Pat.
Brexit seems a never ending story...I don't understand what's the difference between voting on the 9th and the 12th of December.
October 29th, 2019  
@gijsje Well something to do with the earlier date not having time to push through Brexit I think.. I’m confused myself Bep....I seem to have lost the plot this week!

That will keep you warm for the start of winter.

What a decision you have to make. I wouldn't vote for either Boris or Jeremy. Are there any other alternatives?
October 29th, 2019  
My house is wood heat too and I always say it heats us at least three times. When we get it and when we stack it in and of course when we burn it

@pandorasecho Ha ha Dixie, dead right!
October 29th, 2019  
@onewing You can vote for Lib Dems, Green Party, Brexit Party & of course Boris or Jeremy.....all a shower but it’s Boris as the best of a bad bunch for me.

We had a wood stove as a kid and our chores involved packing all the wood inside. It was stored a distance away and it was NOT fun. I vowed to NEVER own a wood stove. Your man appears to be smiling so I guess he doesn't mind the job too much!

I see a lot of exercise for someone.

Ah, lovely! We have a couple of woodstores for our stove. Very therapeutic chopping it up! I think you are right about the Gen Election. Parliament is so torn, we need a new one with a proper majority to get the thing moving. So bored with how long it is taking! Must be extremely unsettling for small businesses who don't know where they are.
October 30th, 2019  
I have to say both sides of the pond are deeply unsettling. On the other hand, I too am enjoying a wonderful warm fire
October 30th, 2019  
What a comforting scene as winter begins to arrive. A metaphor of hopefulness? Very high stakes elections coming up.
October 30th, 2019  
Plenty to keep you warm in depths of winter
