Sometimes you need to be patient

Saturday started with a large and leisurely breakfast, before C&S headed home.

Their departure coincided with TP's arrival, and also that of an electrician, who was here to fit our smart meter. 

The rest of the morning was spent catching up with TP's news, before we had a light snack, and headed out to make a dent in the pile of wood by the garage.  TP manned the log splitter in the carport, while I used the chainsaw to cut the branches in to log sized chunks. 

After a couple of hours we had both produced two large piles of logs. TP's pile was ready for stacking in the carport, whilst mine would still need to be split, before being put away to dry.

It was then time for a kip, followed by a refreshing beer in the garden. After a busy few hours bucking* and splitting wood, I felt that a lazy evening was in order.

So that should have been all of Saturday's news, but as the evening progressed I checked my phone and noticed a new email in my inbox. It seems that I have finally sold the BMW R nine T seat that has been advertised on eBay for several weeks.

I was absolutely delighted as the seat had been relished several times and, despite attracting multiple watchers, had only received bids well below the reserve price. I was at the point where I was considering dropping the price, only to have someone hit the buy. it now button.

I am now £150 better off. As the title of today's entry states, "sometimes you need to be patient."

* Apparently this is the correct term for cutting logs to the correct length for firewood
