Up or down

Nearly fell at the 2nd hurdle...so soon I hear you cry? It was tough to get going this morning...the day could be described as nothing more than dull!! Not inside just out. Almost forget to pick up the camera but I spend a lot of my day running up and down these so I thought they were an important part of my day...even though today they have made my knees ache!!!
Uncertain of where this wind keeps turning up from but its a bit wild out there again.......I have had to strap down the tarpaulin covering the logs for the 80millionth time ....this time I have used two big bags of coal so lets hope that stops it form flapping around like a kite!!!
