Inevitably my strange structure is rather more mundane than BCG wild ideas.

Here it is occupied, which I did this afternoon.

You may recall that earlier in the year I did a savage prune of my Hazelnut tree, so I had lots & lots of branches to saw into pieces that will eventually be firewood. But it has to dry out first for about 6 to 9 months. Hence my structure to stack the wood in and a bit of tarpaulin on top to keep most of the rain off.

Meanwhile the Hazel tree has recovered from the savage pruning, though I don't think it will produce nuts this year as it missed the mating season.

Ahhh, of course!

There will be so many arachnoids in there.

Mostly snails in the ad-hoc piles of logs I had before I built that thingy.

Maybe the snails eat the spiders. The snails in my back garden are fiendish little black & white ones, not the usual brown ones as in my front garden.

I'm having a campaign against my snails, when I find them I put them in my green wheelie bin along with any garden waste that I do not want and thereby send them to the great council compost heap in the sky.

Serves em right for eating my flowers. The clever ones will be able to do a mass jailbreak anyway.

Wouldn't it dry out quicker stacked in the corner of your bedroom?

Aww! Better than putting poison/salt down for them anyway.

Possibly, but no room left in my bedroom.

Sorry to be a pillock but what is the BSG? Is it the British sitcom guide?

One of the best. A classic so what did the British Sitcom Guide think of this?

Oh.

David Smith is a man (?) full of contradictions and mysteries.

Hmm.

Chip just discovered six missed calls on his mobile. He rung to find it was a London Cockney who had no idea who chip was or why he'd been called. Bloody idiot.

Who doesn't know who Chip is?

Prezactly.

I guessed it was a log store Bill, have been looking at some, smaller ones closer to back door so don't have to tramp too far in rain.
