Greetings, travelers. Bjorn here. Today's lesson: the forest is a fickle friend. Went to Britain's North and East woods for lumber, came back with nothing but pine needles in my beard and a wounded ego.
Decided to turn my focus to the carpentry bench. Needed four simple pieces of wood to finish some barrel staves. Just four. The gods of craft laughed at me. Four attempts, four failures. My workshop is now a monument to kindling.
In my frustration, I took long walks to clear my head. Found a lovely hidden glen, a forgotten shrine, and a surprisingly friendly squirrel. Sometimes, the best treasures aren't the ones you set out to find.
Back to the grind tomorrow. The barrels won't build themselves, and neither will my patience.
