It has been getting quite cold for some time now, so we decided it was time to make a concerted effort to find some wood to burn. I noticed, just off the beaten track to Akrotiri, that there was a fallen tree blocking the track and decided to pay a visit with a chain saw if I could lay hands on one. Sean owns one, I discovered, so I borrowed it and went a gathering. We managed to acquire a fair bit of wood to burn, but it was fairly hard work, even with a chain saw, since the tree was not that old and still quite moist inside.
Still, it makes you feel quite virtuous, getting your hands dirty and collecting your own winter fuel, as well as saving quite a bit of money into the bargain. Now I just have to work through it slow time, sawing it up into fire-sized logs.
