The wrong day for the wrong job by laroque

The wrong day for the wrong job

The hottest May ever in France, apparently, and the hottest day so far, 30°C this afternoon. So not the right day to get the wood for the fire to be delivered. Four cubic meters had to moved and stacked, took all day, in between visiting Mrs.L, recovering after an operation in a clinic, and walking the dog.

Our wood used to be poor quality, inconsistent sizes and still wet, and so I started ordering it for May so that it would have a hot summer to dry properly. Now we get our wood from Spain, hêtre (ash), 40cm, dry and good quality. Maybe time to start ordering it earlier, or later.
Looks like very good fire wood. It's supposed to hit 97 today and the humidity is so high - it's like walking into a wall of water when you go outside.

Like the two parts of this, the wood and the ivy with the light on both.

a bit of life... decisions...can one ever know exactly when to do things? I hope your wife is recovering nicely without too much pain.

I like the way the triangles of the wood are reflected in the shape of the ivy leaves. Did you arrange for that deliberately? 😊

@kartia Perhaps subconsciously !
