Back to work tomorrow.

And so I had another quiet relaxing day where I haven't done very much.But I've made an important discovery - and that is that my little portable DVD player that I use for watching films - it plays CDs as well. And in all the time that I've had it, and after all that I've tried to find a CD player for up here, then I wish I had have discovered that earlier. Ahhh well.

The weather today was rather depressing though. It started off really nicely with some sun but by the time that midday came around it was heavily overcast again and rather depressing. But after the excesses of the last few days it's warmed up a little and even managed to return a "positive" temperature reading at some point in the day.

Tomorrow I need to cut a stack of firewood as I've worked my way through the stuff that I had ready. And I'll go for the dry stuff - the old laths in the barn. That has burnt beautifully, much better than the stuff in the lean-to. But my little woodpile, covered by the offcuts of plastic sheeting, seems to be doing its job and drying out the stack that has been outside for 18 months. I tried burning a few pieces of that today and it seemed to be okay. So I'll have a good go at the stuff in the lean-to as well and leave that to dry out under some plastic sheeting. See if that works any better.

  1. Most DVD players also play CDs.

    They will mostly play now any format of DVD and any format of CD (although only some will play mini-dvd/cd and fewer will play DVD-RAM). If it's a slot-loader, chances are it won't play mini-disks.
