The heater has never been worth a damn. But it has served us as well as it could for the last 25 years, until Gorebull Warming! Now, it refuses to work when the temps drop below 20. It went on strike right after dinnertime tonight when we hit 19. We're now at 14 on our way down to single digits.
Fortunately, we have some good oak burning in the MacNessa Hearth. We're all gathering in close range to it to sleep tonight. The cats, as usual, lie close to the flame - you just can't teach them! Sir Winston will snuggle in with Mrs. MacNessa if he can - otherwise with John-Man.
The way things look now, we will probably have the fire going continuously until at least Tuesday!
