Getting wood, getting wet

It rained last night and again while I was getting washed and dressed this morning.

I got ready to go kayaking prepared to make my decision whether to actually to go when it was time to leave. The rain had stopped so off I cycled.

The rain had obviously put people off coming kayaking as there were only 3 of us, but the weather got nicer and nicer and it was soon lovely and sunny.

On the way home I passed a skip with clean off-cuts in, so I stopped and put 3  x 18 inch (45 cm) lengths on top of the bag on top of my panniers. When I got home I changed into jeans and a fleece and took a small shopping trolley to rescue a few more bits.

Just as I started home again it started to rain. When I was half way home it was chucking it down. I am not a runner but I even ran the last bit down my road.

My socks, which had stayed dry kayaking, were now wet through, wetter even than my fleece and jeans!

I got enough off-cuts for at least 2 evenings burning.
