I woke up this morning, eager for the day,
things to do and happy to say
that I am burning almost the last log of 5 steres.
Ho hum.
The winter has been mild and 'we', the 'Royal we', made savings
and now pay for it later.
It is the Law of Life.
I complain not, until, I view my other woodburner
which at about 11pm last night I lit to warm up the icy rooms where lie oak parquet.

Trees stand in winter so why did I do that when I am not there and cannot afford this year to keep the two fires alight night and day.
It is an L shaped house - ground floor only - a veritable bungalow
with two large cavernous empty attics.

Digression!
On the hearth is a brown liquid which stops before it spills over the edge.
Behind the dead fire is evidence that treacly stuff has gone below the glass.
I have emailed the Monsieur and sent photos but no reply. It is Saturday. Monday I am sure they are closed. Tuesday I will be calling in! Monday I will call my insurance company.
I cannot understand.
Only two weeks ago the fire was blazing for a good 12 hours
and le chaleur was impressionant a mes amis.

Pourquoi ????? For what indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am concerned that I shall only feel secure if the whole job is refait!
Meanwhile just outside the door of the same room hangs an icicle. My very own!
le chaleur = the heat or warmth
impressionnant = impressive
Le travail devra être refait = The work will have to be redone.
