\"The<\/a>
The Kitten makes the best of her circumstances.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dearest Lovely Wife<\/p>\n

Dave the Chimney Sweep<\/strong> arrived and\u00a0went to put a temporary fix on the burner when he straightened and looked at me: Sorry, mate,<\/em> he said, but it’s so buggered it’s unsafe to use<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He has thus\u00a0uplifted the wood burner and most of the flue to rebuild in his workshop, and The Boy<\/strong> and I are now without heating.<\/p>\n

I’ve told The Boy an old flatting trick of wearing as much of your wardrobe as you can to keep warm. (I refrained from telling him the other old flatting trick of heating the house by turning on all the hobs on your stovetop and turning the oven on high and leaving the ovendoor open.) We shall rearrange living and sleeping arrangements: he shall move his sleeping gear into one of the bedrooms (he’s been enjoying sleeping in the expanse of the great hall\u00a0which is furnished with only two easy chairs and a most-kindly-lent 40-inch flat screen); I shall move my sleeping gear into the study; and the remaining bedroom shall become the new and temporary lounge with the easy chairs and flat screen. We’ll downsize our living spaces to\u00a0maximise heat retention.<\/p>\n

It’ll be fun. For the first week.<\/p>\n
