Brrrr.

Woke up this morning before my usual time for two reasons. One - I was freezing my lily-white butt off. Two - Kev was in the kitchen cussing like a sailor. Seems the boiler wouldn't kick in. A call in to the landlord was placed, and then it was time for another Adventure in the Basement. A blown fuse, and not the kind of fuse we have dozens of rattling about near the fusebox. Kev bundled up and headed for the hardware store (on foot, since he didn't want to lose our kickin' parking spot in front of the building), but was back in minutes, because the little store down the street, in addition to carrying such conveniences as "Money House Blessing" aerosol freshener and Goya canned octopus bits, also carried exactly one glass boiler fuse. Happy New Year. I'm going back to bed...
