That&#8217;s been burning for all of the day and the temperature has been hovering around the 18-19 degree mark which, given the temperature outside, has been pretty impressive and I&#8217;m pleased that I have this little stove.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s still holiday time so all I&#8217;ve done is to watch some DVDs and to watch some sport on the computer &#8211; Boxing Day is all about sport after all. But I didn&#8217;t manage an evening meal yet again as it&#8217;s absolutely taters in the verandah.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m not complaining as I don&#8217;t mind the temperature dropping to -20\u00b0C mark as long as I get some sun for my batteries.<\/p>\n<p>So when I&#8217;ve finished watching the Houston Texans play the Denver Broncos I&#8217;m off to bed. Tomorrow is also a day of rest as I catch up on my Sunday day of rest which I missed due to Boxing Day intervening.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-646 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='646' data-nonce='c297ca7ac0' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-646 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-646 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='646' data-nonce='c297ca7ac0' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-646 unlc'>-3<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-646 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0we&#8217;ve had a gorgeous Alpine day &#8211; not a cloud in the sky, not even for a minute.
