I'm knackered!

I hope Mr Bayleaf won't be cross I've spoiled his surprise.

I've been cutting wood for about 16 years now & the initial enthusiasm of being self sufficient has long worn off.
We only burn about 2 cords max. pa so I sense a deal coming along whereby my mate finishes off the hard work, stores the wood in his huge barn & delivers logs for me to stock in our barn.

Job done with a little negotiation over a few glasses of Rosé
He's going to split it & take all of the wood back to his huge barn for stockage & deliver some to me when I need to augment my stock.
Cost... a few glasses of wine for him & a few sou for his costs. What's not to like?

Mr Bayleaf made this for my birthday, years ago

He sure knows how to treat a gal

That's nothing! Another time it was guttering along the hangar and a downpipe into a large bin - to provide extra water for the animals. Another year, it was putting up those heavy plastic strips as a windbreak in and out of said animals' shed. Oh yes, I like presents to be useful!
