We have recreated the feeling of camping at Chez Speedies these days. We’ve had a half load of firewood delivered. We all liked the idea of a crackling fire and the house all toasty and warm and cuddling up in front of the fireplace. However the reality is quite different. Isn’t it always?!
The wood came all chopped up into good size pieces for putting on the fire but the logs are green and very wet because it’s never stops raining. So the smoke that the wet wood produces is just like camping at the East Leichhardt . The first couple of days the lounge room was so full of smoke we had to open a window to help it escape because it didn’t seem to want to go up the chimney. How do those chimneys work anyway? Aren’t they meant to suck up the smoke? We’ve got central heating which is fantastic but it chews up the fuel like mad and is a very expensive way to heat the house. We bought 400€ of diesel about 5 minutes ago and we’ve already used it all up.
