Winter Wood Delivery

Up until now we have been using what had remained of last years wood supply & it's been going down steadily resulting in the need to replenish the wood pile. A notice written in Greek had been posted on a fence near to the Lidl supermarket which Simon had told me was 'Olive Wood For Sale' I went up there last week to take a note of the telephone number to hopefully be able to obtain an amount to see us through the Winter. My boss, Lisa, speaks Greek fluently so I asked whether she would mind making the phone call on my behalf to enquire about getting a delivery, ensuring I ordered pieces that would fit in my wood burner. Lisa agreed & it was arranged that I would drive down to the local football pitch to meet Dimitris, the wood man, this evening so he could follow me back to the house.
This is a commonplace thing to have to do here, with not having 'an address' as such. It's either that or try to describe how to get to where you live so it's often easier to meet up somewhere that everyone knows & lead them to where they have to go.
So at 5.30 pm I met up with Dimitris & guided him back to the house, where he off-loaded 50 Euro worth of olive wood, which will hopefully see us through. The wood pile looks a lot healthier now. As I'm writing this I have a fire lit in the wood burner, & two very sleepy, dreaming dogs lying very contentedly on my lounge floor & it's so very cosy.
