Hot Vodka

Wally invited us round for stroganoff and some hot vodka tonight.
We questioned the latter as he always insists it must be chilled. 
It turns out he was referring to the quality - top.

I needed it as woke this morning to find the central heating had gone off on the coldest night we have had here for some time.

Being Sunday it was no use ringing a plumber for something this "trivial". I read the manual and tried all the tricks he showed me last time to no avail so gave up and went to the farm this afternoon.
Lo and behold, when we got back it had decided to work! I wonder if a pipe had frozen as the troubleshooting said "low water pressure". Maybe it's designed to function as long as it doesn't get too cold :-?

Anyway the vodka was good and we got down to the level of Peter the Great's shoulders :-)
