Woodburners...Woodwarm are the best. They do double sided and stay in all night.

Read this one as 'wood WORM'... But at least they aren't party animals who disturb you when they come home...


ps I have absolutely NO experience of, or useful advice about woodburners. Just know I like them.

You and me both AM :rotfl:.

Late to report but Nature Notes from Thursday:

A flock of around 30 little egrets including a few coming along a minute or two later, making a lot of noise, obviously saying 'wait for us, wait for us, wait for us' .

And from last night a spectacular blue moon :T lighting up our walk back from the village

Investigated two of the cash'ncarry places yesterday. One is just a supermarket, wrote down some prices to compare. The other was good - the wine we buy at around €1.19 was 76c :eek:. However, contrary to what we had been told, they wouldn't serve us without a business number

Lunch out yesterday was:
1 pint of beer, 1 sparkling water
Salad
Bread
Seafood soup & salmorejo (like gazpacho but with whizzed up bread which makes it creamy)
Rump steak & chorizo sausages with chips
Chocolate tart & chestnut tart
2 coffees
€20 :T

Not the best quality but very nice, place was mobbed and queueing, we were the only Brits . It was somewhere I'd driven past from time to time & wondered what it was like, now we know . A good spot to stop at if we're in the area. A few nights before we'd been to another place a mile or two further on and had similar, it was better and came in at €25 :T.

Today a trip to the playa beckons to see the hot tub place - yesterday's failed cash'n'carry trip also included a trip to their discount outlet which was shut - by the time we got to the little fruit & veg shop we were expecting to get turned away there as well :rotfl:. We weren't but they had ran out of eggs - man before us bought last ones :doh:. May also have a quick visit to stove place. Need to show my ideas to Mr GG first - drawing in the air as we walked up to the village didn't do them justice, and describing one of the stoves as looking like a Dalek probably wasn't one of my brighter ideas :rotfl:.

You need me to draw a pic of the stoves on a napkin - you know how good my drawing is :rotfl::rotfl:

Double sided ... two doors? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Absolutely no clue

Perfect - with a wooden lintel on either side. I'd started pricing them up but as I'm 2-3 years ahead of myself, I'm a bit daft.

Lovely Al :T

You have time to find a used one, Tilly?
They don't wear out really.

Lovely pic Al. I can dream of one day owning a house with proper internal walls, not partition ones that would add spectacularly to the flames...
