When cage fighter's locking your jaw,
and floor's far away from your paw
to give up by tapping
while red caps are clapping
it's silly to offer a draw.

When you have been clearly defeated,
the victory you dearly needed
is totally lost
at maximum cost
you better give up and just beat it.

Opened up this animal shed for the first time, after digging away the soil (and metal bits) that was blocking the door.

Not much inside, luckily.

I'm slowly demolishing it as its in poor shape and I want another firewood store in its place.

Slow work as the thing was double walled with straw packed between as insulation. And a mummified pine marten.

Looks like the roof is also insulated. Good thing about straw: Much easier to recycle than slag wool! 😁

Paper Straws Halt Rifts

Getting soggy? That's because they're holding back carbonated monsters from another dimension.
