So after the terrible news of our ‘camping adventure’ had sunk in, we again busied ourselves with the evenings work of firewood gathering, ‘axe-ing’ ( ahem ), and kindle-er-izing. I’m hoping to get a look-in on this axe-in’ business soon, test the water so to speak, but I fear it may be a long time before the novelty wears off for Cookie!
“What you doing tonight Cookie?”“I’m just Axe-in’ up some wood for the fire.”
Nicky laughs at me for using this phrase, she doesn’t think it’s a proper word, I should use ‘chopping’ instead. Surely chopping is what you do to vegetables, when I’m dismembering trees, I’m axe-in’ them (to bits).
