Fireplace looks good. Weather in the south has been outrageously cold, for down here, high 20s-low 30s at nite. High 30s' to low 40s in the day. My old body is just not liking it like when I was 18.

You guys have suffered a bit recently with the cold Bill.
Dennis and Don send me daily updates, so it seems chilly to say the least.

And you got to cut a load of wood
Life is good......
Got this from a friend on the Isle of Sheppey last week.
Wednesday was my 55th Birthday, and being the grumpy old man that I am, the plan was to sit at home alone and work on preparation for my end of year merit review that was due at 09.00 on Friday.
By Tuesday afternoon though I had proven the back on the preparation and decided to see if my friend who had invited me to dinner which I had declined, was prepared to still feed me on short notice.
Thankfully she put up with my change in plans.
When I got there at 7pm.....
It took me a while before I noticed the balloons and various other decorations in her home for me, as I spent the first 30 minutes playing with her two dogs.
I was so impressed.
And a 5 course dinner too, plus a cake.
And then she pointed out the prezzie, that I had not noticed.
Come on...!!!!!!!
Back home by 11.00pm as it is a week day.
She is a keen gardener, so I offered to make her a wall decoration from a piece I had made by mate Darren Hardy, at Unit Signs in Sheerness.
Wings bent and animated.
Followed by silver, bronze, gold and Lilac paint on them.
The background will be left to rust and actively encouraged chemically.
Made up some Lilac paint too.
Job done.
Need to get it to her some time and mount against wall.

I need to get it swept soon, as I only made about 5firws last year.
And I burn anything in here.
