Mushroom cure for Arthritis & a wood moving day

A mushroom cure for Arthritis is all over the Express this morning,  the rare fungus from Tibet has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries - - - A team working on the project say "it could provide an effective treatment within 10 years" - - -

Here's another angle on the recent Chile volcano eruption, a hiker is videoing the mountain seconds before it erupts he has the sense to drop everything and run - - - great video - - -

 With the good dry weather i was able to get down the hill to the latest logging site.  Here I', stopping to clear away the hanging hawthorn bush branches which have grown over since last year.  Boris sits alongside a Blackthorn hedge in full bloom 

 the pile of wood under the sheeting has only a little area where the weather has got in so no damage there.  The idea will be to move up some of it up to the top track and replace the wood i'm currently taking back to the cottage for next winter.  I'm here to reduce some of the pile in the open to firewood today

 an hour later and half of it is done, i have a much bigger pile further down the hill, i muse that it might be the end of May before i get to fell any trees! - - -

 back home the first load transferred makes a 2ft addition in the foreground 

a further load adds a couple more feet, i think one more might do it and we are then set for the winter 

LM joins in the unloading of the wood and displays his sore foot by holding it off the top of the van.  It appears to be healing by itself but we are keeping a close eye on it 

 Nice mild temp this morning but the barometer has been falling for some time now

the weathercam shows the cloud this morning.  Forecasters have it raining any time after 09:00

Enjoy the day
