. Anyway I sat up in the dark and was startled to see (reflected in a mirror) bright flames shooting skyward above a nearby school - leaped out of my cosy pit with my lower cheeks rapidly chilling - raced to the phone - 111, "Fire Service" etc. etc. - Explained the problem - quickly fed the cat - threw-on some discarded clothing - and out the door for a shivering 'rubber-neck' at what was going-up in flames down the road.
Well - it wasn't the school building as it had appeared - but two huge piles of lumber-jacked pine trees (from a 'windbreak') roaring into the night sky while now being watched by the fire brigade. - The story goes that an early rising school principle decided to remove the eyesore/hazard using flame !!
- That's IT for today - I'm going to have a cup of coffee and a granny-nap in my recliner armchair - as long as the cat lets me.
