Either a ton or tonne of logs

This is what Lewis and I found when we got to my parents place today. We knew there was a delivery of logs that we were going to help with.
So its a ton
or is it a metric tonne?
Not sure but there were alot of them.

Mark and Lewis put them in the barrow and wheeled them to the back of the house, Mum and I started to stack them. After 5 wheelbarrow loads, Gavin turned up and he wheeled them up while Mark and Lewis piled them high in the barrow...Mum and I could only just keep up with the onsluaght of them.
After another 7 barrow loads we were done.
It only took an hour.

After that Dad took a turn for the worse and all the days plans went out of the window. No lunch out for Mum for her birthday, no shopping, nothing. Dad was really bad, so Lewis and I left, there wasnt anything we could do and Mum had the boys (boys ha ha ha I mean my brothers ones nearly 50 the other nearly 42) there for support and to lift Dad in and out of bed.
So we were really just in the way.

I hate whats happening to Dad, I know its just a matter of time now, but I'm not ready for that.
As if we ever are!!!
