Keeping warm

The wood-burning stove was still glowing red when I got up this morning and with little effort I managed to revive it, so Minty and I have had the rare treat of its cosy warmth throughout the day. Usually I light it at Pointless o'clock, when the television gets switched on.

I was amused at how close Minty lay to the fire - any closer and he would have been in it! Needless to say, within a few minutes he was too hot and moved :-)
