Hi All,
Feeling a bit full after a nice pork and veggie roast followed by sticky date pudding for community dinner. Of course several glasses of wine helped too! The pork roast started off in our oven and our room was soon filled with smoke so Susan transferred it to unit 4. The sooner our community kitchen is up and running the better!
I finally managed to get the shipping container tidied up today. It has only taken x months where x is a large number. Todays tasks were centred on preparing for an event in the barn tomorrow night to celebrate the winter solstice. I don't know that these sort of pagan celebrations are things a good C of E boy should attend but there is food, drink and a fire involved so what's the harm?
It is surprising how fast you go through wood when you are lighting the combustion heater fairly often. We seemed to have a large supply here but it has dwindled very quickly over recent weeks. We do have a large number of tree rounds but they are large and have been sitting on the ground getting very wet and rotting. We stacked them up yesterday so hopefully they will dry and crack to enable us to use the log splitter on them.
Phoebe (goat) jumped the pen fence twice today and demonstrated her sprinting skills. We may have to start tethering her at night.
It is the last full day of Arleigh, Abella and Steph tomorrow. It has been a great joy to have them here. It was remarked tonight they have added to the energy of the place.
Looks like the weather is going to be robust tomorrow so hopefully it doesn't spoil the shortest day.
Tired .. night folks
Simon
