I use lumpwood from CPL - it was £13 for 12kg and at Easter 25% off. Now £17 for 12kg. But likely bits are too big for small unit.

Happy thought : found local blacksmith who can repair firetray in our BBQ. Much, much cheaper than buying a good new unit. Kamado BBQ of a decent size and make would be near £1500.

Met up with my sister today at a local beauty spot. We both bought packed lunches and the views from the top of the down were majestic.

With the air being so clear we could see the sea to the south at Newhaven and also the north downs scarp near Guilford. :)

Got my furloughed wage, nearly £500 down (pre-tax) on what I would normally get, but hey, I'm being paid to stay at home.

Let's hope people have a job to go back to.

Any news when they will let you return?

Thankfully my young brother is going back to his job next Tuesday but how long for is another matter as because their sales are down quite a bit there are rumours that some staff might be laid off permanently.

Haven’t been out running since I mangled my knee in the 2016 Newport half marathon.

This morning I did 5 miles which took this week’s total to 15 miles. I’m heavier than I was during my half marathon days so it’s all been slow and steady but hopefully I’ll get some semblance of cardio back soon.
