The Non-Food Entry

Scroll down for this week’s other entry, involving everything we’ve eaten lately, but here’s all the other news:

the wood pile

Anna brought all the rest of last year’s wood to be the first to be burned. Having started out kiln dried, it’s now up to about 15% moisture, through having been stored outside, but it’s the driest we’ve got.

Here’s a picture of the finished mosaic.

my mangle

Having done the odd bit of laundry here, I’ve found that it really doesn’t dry in time to not get smelly except on the sunniest, windiest and warmest of days. So I went on ebay and found this really awesome mangle with rubber rollers, which works a treat. Better than the spin cycle on my washer in Barnsley.

Anna chopping wood

Anna, among many other jobs, did some wood chopping and we managed to process and stack all the wood we’d been given from the neighbours’ gardening exploits.

It all amounted to this bottom row, which is a good month’s supply if it’s not all that cold. Thanks very much, neighbours! And the stuff we ordered from Black Bark is coming tomorrow. I hope it all fits in. We certainly will not want for wood this winter.
