FIRE!

With autumn here in South Africa moving towards winter,
it was time to clean out our wood burning stove
and help save some electricity...


are fire lighters a "cheat"?
I don't think so! 

Putting a pot of water on the top of the stove,
helps put moisture back into the air...
One day I will try to fry an egg on this.


If I was living on a farm, I would have been stockpiling wood.
But in urban Johannesburg it is easier to buy ready cut wood.

Ready to burn...

and our first fire of 2013 is alight...

SMOKIN' 

Our cats seem to enjoy the warmth... 

Chaggy does not like to get too close...


On the other hand, Miro want to be almost as warm as the stove!

 

The view from my chair... 

Eventually the fire dies down and it is time to head for bed...

In 1969, Richie Havens was asked to open Woodstock by playing a 15 minute set.
Three hours later he was still on stage as the second act could not get to the site
 due to the adverse weather conditions.
This was the final song of his epic set that went on to become the "anthem" of Woodstock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5aPBU34Fyk
I was lucky enough to interview him several years ago AND have him play live on my show
He died on April 22, 2013
The opening of my show was somewhat like that today...
Listen to the podcast and you will see what I mean.
