New low

Well, Peter Mayle's book "Toujours Provence" is wonderful, I'm really enjoying it, now more than ever. Now that the house has gone down to the 60 degrees' Farenheit, I've been spending a lot of time reading by the fire. This afternoon: collecting firewood.

^ I used up a lot of wood yesterday. ^

^ I'll use this wagon to collect sticks/logs. ^

^ On the other hand, I do have quite a lot of wood,

already, from the renovations. Hm. ^

My house, and my dog Agatha (Christie).

Happy New Years!

Warming the house, and myself

Well, my heating's being faulty again. It's about 64 degrees upstairs, so I'm in the basement, having a fire. The aesthetics aren't the fanciest, but I made a little place to read, next to what I would guess is a table saw.

(And if you look to your right, you'll see broken-up concrete and drywall, on a backdrop of spray foam insulation, pvc pipes, spackle, tile and wiring.)



That t.v. (left) is the one that I watched President Obama's inauguration on, in between taping-and-spackling.



I am becoming a fire extraordinaire, I think. Unfrortunately, I need more wood, so I need a replacement to stroke the fire while I go outside.

I'm reading a Christmas book,"Toujours Provence" by Peter Mayle. It's really good.
