Yes am fine, didn’t do much. Collected FT weekend, did some food shopping, lit woodburner and (if you’re a vegetarian do not read the second following word) cooked rabbit in beer. Had long phone call with friend. Bisou… slept. 🤦♀️🤦♀️

Slow cooking is indeed best I find. Hence this has been on the woodburner all afternoon. The aroma is intoxicating! Might be the beer as well...😁

Revealed: The test that shows your posh scented candles and even frying eggs can be more polluting at home than a woodburner trib.al/2VidOh1
Test shows frying eggs can be more polluting at home than a woodburner
Independent research shows that wood smoke contains tiny particles - called PM2.5 - which can work their way into the bloodstream and cause irritation and inflammation.

Last fall we took out the woodburner and put in a pellet stove. So far, so good, it keeps the basement about 66-68 and the oil furnace keeps the upstairs at 69. Not as warm as wood heat, but less work and a LOT safer.

Tuppence claims she is frozen. It's 19.7 inside. She is such a drama queen.

Morning Siamese and SORCs. 0C and frosty. Lovely dinner at daughter’s last night and listened to the new year’s letters of both grandsons. Took me ages to go to sleep. No VIP lunch dreams either. Looks like a somber day so woodburner on and newspaper reading later with furry fan. Enjoy today!

I am planning where I am going to put the woodburner in my bar/workshop.

Similar - I think I was 16 before we had radiators installed, which we would have been 92/3. They were linked to a coal stove thing in the kitchen - not a Rayburn/Aga type stove, more like a woodburner. It was filthy and scorched anything within 3 feet of it. Usually had wet washing hung around it.

Currently we are at -25. The wind has gone down, the woodburner is humming along keeping everything nice and comfortable. Stay safe.

But in the arctic rigours of SW London how are Tarquin and Jemima going to survive without their designer woodburner? For heavens sake do your realise the cost of that huge pile of exactly sized, colour matched, kiln dried hardwood they've invested in?

Thanks for raising awareness @hinabokharild.bsky.social Many SW London suburbs have had AQ devastated from toxic Ecodesign stoves. Surbiton is now UK’s worst place for air pollution (high woodburner ownership) Hope Lib Dems support action on woodburning in residential areas @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
It's #CleanAirNight and we need to talk about wood burning stoves. Research shows it's causing nearly 2.5k premature deaths a year in the UK, increasing your risk of heart and lung disease, diabetes and dementia. So please do check the facts and share with your loved ones.

Sleeping cat, warm fire. Cat only settled once I'd finished my chicken and ham pie, mind.

Bom dia. No rain forecast until possibly tomorrow. First washing load ready for out and might risk two more! Exciting! I can sense a bit of Spring in the air and perhaps the vines being pruned soon. Be glad when it warms up. Woodburner and gas fire on this morning. Bom Domingo.

Mum and Tuppence retired to bed to cuddle and Thruppence retired to her cushion on the dining chair so she could get some heat from woodburner.

It's damp and mild and the house smells vaguely of wet dogs and tea. I've lit the woodburner and am sitting down for a couple of hours of reading and knitting.
@thomasinapots.bsky.social and I are going to try and post a #SmallJoys post every day to cheer ourselves along.

Central heating is great. Not being reliant on it (woodburner/electric heaters/immersion heated) is even better.

I gather about 90% of the fallen and harvested branches up and put them through the wood-chipper on the back of the tractor. This winter about 7m3 of woodchips will be fed to my woodburner for hot water, cooking and heating.
