And a very good morning, afternoon, early evening to one and all! I'm sorry, I'm a bit late coming to the party this morning. We were invaded at an ungodly hour by "Le Herisson Ramoneur" (the "Hedgehog Chimney Sweep"), who had come with his assistant to fit a new part to our pellet stove. He also took time to clean the chimney and admonish me for having the log basket too close to the woodburner and for not cleaning out the pellet stove properly. The house was filled with cold air, soot and noise for an hour and he disconnected the Internet at the same time as the pellet stove, so I couldn't get online. Yes, well ... enough of all these excuses! Thanks so much to Lynda for her ukulele-appropriate lament and to Jon for that very touching improvisation. Please continue to fill my day with misery!
