Lumberjack Fairies

Every now and then something comes down, or blows over actually, trees especially. The species that recently decided to change scenery, luckily fell to the right side: away from the house. But still, it needs to be made suitable for the fireplace. So we started with the smallest (and bluntest) axe in the whole world. After two hours steady working we had done about 1/10 and decided to continue the next day. Of course we did not get around to do it that day nor the next week. Luckily there are some lumberjack fairies here, so one day when we get home, the whole tree is cut in pieces nicely fitting in the fireplace.

Turns out later, the fairie is a far neighbour, we don't know that well actually. Nice introduction. Might have seen us struggling.

Furthermore it has been 'earth hour'. That is a once a year hour where everybody switches off as many electrical appliances as possible. A bit 'sixties/hippies' story but very cosy with candles and a bottle of wine. Last year it was initiated in Melbourne (or maybe Sydney) and this year a lot of cities worldwide got involved. We are actually curious whether anybody in Europe or the USA got involved.

In the mean time we did buy a larger axe, but the locals keep telling us we really need a chainsaw.....
