Since temperatures outside as well as inside dropped to record low levels this morning (13.9 degrees INSIDE the apartment), the heating is now officially on.

We are also in the process of deploying a new heating strategy which effectively reduces our living quarters to kitchen, bathroom and living room for the next 4 months as well as permanently covering up the living room window with a thick blanket.
Following the proven strategy of a lot of non-human species we might just roll up into a ball and not emerge from our little cave till September.
