Since today has been nice and sunny and since C and I skipped church, we did stuff around the house today.

By which I mean we did some housework and some of the dishes and laundry and then maudlinrose and C hacked at the gorse with secataurs and a trowel. The pile I had left tripled in size and we could see more of the hill behind the house.

Then I made lunch and bl9_knt and purplesparkler came around, followed shortly by thesane and P. and they had a hatchet in the back of their van, since they were up here for a medieval camping thing and bl9_knt took the hatchet and chopped at the gorse and the pile is huge and we can see a house through the trees which was utterly invisible to us before!

We'll trim down the big pieces of gorse trees with the secataurs and buy a hatchet ourselves and chop down the trunks into firewood. Then we need to let our landlords know what we've done.

But C. is the queen of chopping with a hatchet - it was very impressive.

And after there was roast and potatoes and ice-cream and good conversation and I think I'm ready for bed now.

It's been a good day.
