Some like it hot, Part 8

When you start to use a log burner, aka wood-fired central heating, one of the first things that you notice is that you need to use a lot of logs. And then some more. Then what? Yes, well, you keep putting them into the stove and they get burned, turned into ash, and then you need to put in some more. Of course, this was not really what you signed on for, but hey, let's just order some more logs. Although buying properly seasoned logs is not too much of a problem in the summer, it is not so easy in the winter.

I do not know why I look so happy in this photo. They just dumped ten cubic metres of firewood on the grass outside our house, as the lorry would not fit under the roof of our large front gate. Next I had to put it into the wheelbarrow and carry all of this wood into the woodshed. 

And in case you did not know, let me tell you that splitting the larger pieces with a sledgehammer and a wedge is a very time-consuming and exhausting business.

After we made the video of yours truly driving the tractor mower, I was driving it a bit carelessly and one of the cutting blades hit a big stone. The Husqvarna mower is still hors de combat in the service department in Veliko Tarnovo and I do not know when it will be repaired (or how much it will cost).
