bring on the next ice age....


...well, I'm ready - looked what some nice person dropped on my driveway this afternoon in exchange for a mere scrap of paper with my signature on it......

I promise not to make any jokes today about dry-roasted nuts, that topic I think is properly burned out now.... burned, haha, geddit? Sorry...... (if you're just tuning in then check my earlier posts to find out what I'm going on about....



So, the next ice age... well, I'm ready - look what some nice person dropped on my driveway this afternoon in exchange for a mere scrap of paper with my signature on it... (that'd be a cheque then....). I'm all wood-fired here and last week stocks were getting low so in anticipation of a big freeze remedial action was required. The only problem is that all the logs were funny shapes which means my planned neatly stacked wood pile is more of a roughly organised chaos ready to tumble with the next earthquake (!!!). It seems that Cornish trees aren't round - like everything else round here (vegetables, people, their heads etc...) they must be distinctly odd.... On reflection I should be careful what I say about the Cornish, I have a very good friend, who I know is watching, that seems chuffed to bits since discovering a tenuous link to some Cornish ancestry.... Oh sod it - mate, you're weird! Hehehe.

Back to ice ages and stuff... odd isn't it that if the boffins are correct then global warming could shortly lead to the Gulf Stream ceasing to exist, and the UK would suddenly have a climate more on a par with Newfoundland than at it's present relatively balmy situation. That's not a nice thought....

Here's a nice thought though, Cornwall doesn't get an awful lot of earthquakes. All the spiders and other bugs living in my woodpile will be pleased.....
