a cold, wood & fire

TBBE came back just in time to practice a bit before he will become a doctor. He was playing a nurse (a very good and patient nurse) while I had a very bad cold ;-)

In the meanwhile we had another weather record in Bergen - a cold record. November 2010 is the coldest since 1919!!! Lucky us to be here in that grateful moment!!! Wow! ;-)
Anyway, probably because of the low temperatures (-5C to -10C) we were driving around the city yesterday trying to find a shop that would have any wood in store. Mission completed after almost 2 hours.

And I have almost burnt our house with that wood today.... I did nothing unusual, just added an extra piece of wood to the wood-stove to warm up our flat faster and suddenly there was a fire within the tube connecting the wood-stove with the chimney... Large fire, plenty of smoke outside - our adrenalin level increased significantly...
Fortunately after applying some decent amount of water everything came back to normality. Well, almost everything, the wall about the wood-stove isn't white any more...
