Another minus five night forecast

I'm glad I spent a day cutting Manuka last year. If this global warming continues, I think I will buy a bigger chainsaw. There is a lot of free wood about if you know where to look.

On Tuesday it's off into the Tararuas for a night or two and I think it may be a little colder than minus five up there. Glad I liberated that high-spec sleeping bag many years ago.

My research into alternative fuel is coming along nicely. Those soft drink bottles burn very well when you have the fire box good & hot!

Almost as good as coal!
