Most pieces cut a length to fit any fireplace -- the wood has been bought to go into a Kent fireplace. Some must be chopped so it is less thick for smaller fireplaces/wood stoves. I would like it all to go. I will throw in a garden rubbish bag full of kindling and quite a few larger pieces of wood with this close to a cubic meter pile, but if you don't want those things the price is still $80, or close offer. A thrown cubic meter of hardwood sells for over $100 from a firewood company, and it may not be easy to find dry wood of any kind this time of year. This wood is easily accessible for you to fill your ute or car boot, and I will help load it. You can get your car to within 2 meters of it. Location: Manly near the Plaza. Please either send me a message or call me on 021 228 8894. This wood is advertised on other websites.
Price: $80

Every drop of this water is priceless: BORJOMI is born in Georgia’s volcanic depths, rises many kilometers up to the surface while getting enriched with unique minerals on its way, and then is produced, most carefully, from springs in the BORJOMI Gorge but only in the quantities that could be naturally reproduced.
BORJOMI water’s impeccable quality has been confirmed by numerous laboratory tests, which prove that today’s composition of BORJOMI is the same as it was over a century ago.
BORJOMI is a mineral water of volcanic origin, which by natural standards is over 1,500 years old. It rises to the surface from the depth of 8-10 km, pushed up by natural carbon dioxide pressure. Unlike many other sodium bicarbonate mineral waters, BORJOMI does not cool down before it reaches the surface and comes out warm (38-41°С), getting enriched “on its way” with a composition of 60 various minerals found in rock layers of the Caucasus Mountains.
BORJOMI water tests show that it is formed by deep-earth mineralized, modern fresh and low-mineralized waters.
But how do these waters form deep down there? To answer this question, let’s recall several theories explaining the origin of underground waters.
One of the first theories — infiltration — was suggested by the Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio back in ancient times, but scientists still use it today. According to this theory, underground waters are formed from precipitations penetrating the earth via channels in rock.
In the late 19th century, the entire world was captivated by the condensation theory of the German engineer Otto Volger, who believed that underground waters were formed from condensation of atmospheric water vapor in the soil.
And lastly, one of the recent theories — juvenile — was put forth in 1902 by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess. The scientist found the evidence proving connection of certain mineral waters with the Earth magma. In his opinion, products emitted from molten magma come to areas with lower temperatures and begin to condense, thus forming juvenile (i.e. primal) waters coming to the surface as springs. But not in the pure form: rising up along the cracks in rock layers, often under pressure from gases of volcanic origin, juvenile water dissolves these rock layers, getting enriched with minerals, and mixes with underground waters of a different (often infiltration) origin.
In the early 1990s, a research discovered that in terms of the ratio of certain hydrogen isotopes, BORJOMI drastically differed from other mineral waters. It is quite possible that this information proves the presence of a substantial portion of that very juvenile, “primal” component in this mineral water. Perhaps the uniqueness of BORJOMI, its positive effect on the human body that sometimes defies medical analysis, and in the end, the popularity of this water stem from the mystery of its origin.
Life consists of the sequence of moments, and what these moments will be depends on us. Conquering mountain peaks or swimming across the Bosporus? Seeing the Seven Wonders of the World and making a selfie with the most famous painting? Or, perhaps, planning an own trip instead of taking a package tour? Trying something for the first time: a new route, new mode of transport, new places, new cuisine? The world is open, hospitable and ready to share its wonders, so all you have to do is to brace yourself, take a gulp or two of BORJOMI and feel the centuries-old power of volcano filling your body and clearing your mind, inspiring and prompting you to make the first step toward your dream.

Oatmeal cookies can be divisive, but if you're a fan of these crunchy cookies try this vegan version which is great dipped in milk or even acting as a cracker to a spreadable cheese.
Ingredients
* 20 g (2-1/2 Tbsp) dark seedless raisins (currants), roughly chopped
* 198 g (scant 1 cup) coconut oil (margarine in the original version)
* 295 g (1-1/2 cup) sugar
* 8.5 (1-1/2 Tbsp) g ground cinnamon
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 34 g (3-1/2 Tbsp) molasses or dark corn syrup
* 170 g (1 cup + 1 Tbsp) oatmeal flour
* 75-118 ml hot water
* 5 g (1 tsp) salt
* 4 g (1 tsp) baking soda
* 397 g (3 cups + 1 Tbsp) all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Chop raisins with a knife or in a processor.
2. In a bowl, mix chopped raisins, coconut oil, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and molasses.
3. Dissolve soda and salt in hot water (it should be quite hot and barely touchable by hand), and add to the bowl.
4. Add oatmeal flour immediately and mix everything very well for at least 3-4 minutes, allowing oats to absorb as much liquid as possible.
5. Add the all-purpose flour and make the dough. Dough should be kneaded well to create soft, rich, slightly tacky mass, but not longer than 6 minutes.
6. Roll the dough out into a ⅜? thickness.
7. Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut out the cookies of the desired diameter.
8. Re-roll scraps and cut again, until all the dough is used up.
9. Transfer cookies onto parchment lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space in between. They will not expand too much, but ½? distance is desirable.
10. Bake in the oven preheated to 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Exact timing greatly depends on the cookie sheet quality and your individual oven properties. Cookies should be lightly browned and fully set.
If you are not happy with baking process, we are happy to offer for you various kind of Oatmeal Cookies.

Are we happier owning our own home or renting?
It turns out one answer does not fit all.
Some people feel more "grounded" owning their own home, giving them the feeling they're planning for the future and creating a legacy. But there are people who think the opposite. Read more
