Well then, since the weather here is changing towards the colder winter times and a nice warm fire burning away of an evening is a very welcome thing, just ordered in a half a ton of cut and ready to use firewood since my days of going out and getting it are over for the foreseeable future.
Brought some from the same supplier last winter due to reason beyond the control of anyone and it was absolutely perfect, well and truly dead and dried out completely, cut in ti almost the perfect sizes for my approx. 65 years old almost antique but still working wonderfully wood-burner, a Wunderheat brand closed wood/coal burning fire-place.
Sadly, can't get coal anymore like I could as a kid when the neighbourhood kids and I would collect the coal that had fallen from the Steam Locomotives and sell to households for equivalent, in Pounds,Shillings and Pence in those days long gone, of 5 cents for an approximately weighing, 6 pounds hessian sack, but good aged and well dried out dead gum wood burns hot and last a long time any way.
So when the load arrives tomorrow, it will be split, stacked and stored until the REAL cold winter weather hits by which time, thanks to quitting smoking, I will have saved uo enough to buy in another half a ton to supplement the first load.
