Rare occasion - I lit the fire. Not because it was really cold inside, that's quite normal, but to try and get rid of the huge amount of stuff that we're not able to recycle local, so would only go to landfill.

Special thanks to the TV Licensing folk for all the heat generated from a year's worth of threatening letters... none of which were opened this year. After checking, I found that I last made the mistake of opening one, a year ago yesterday.
