1st fire of 2011

I really like fire... and fires, and I'm getting pretty good at them. The idea is to get it going with twiggy bits then go for slightly bulkier bits. Build it up but at the same time give it time to get going and use a shovel to spread it out. When its well spread, and nice and hot, the smaller cubey bits can go on and then bigger cubey bits... then it's back to twiggy, after spreading it out of course, but more branchy than twiggy and eventually you can get this big bowl of glowing coals to start throwing on the stuff thats hard to burn normally. Good fun! And actually really nice after the sun sets and the animals and insects start moving about and can be heard after the humans have done the days to its end and one quietly sits soakin' up the positive ions.
