All of a sudden

the way we heat our home has become a topic of hot discussion ! We have some friends staying and it has to be said that we do try and encourage people to visit us in the warmer months - I mean Bordeaux is just nicer when you can be out and about, eat in the garden etc... However this week we have this cold snap on and our friends have developed a deep attachment to the wood stove !

Then we met a new friend at the barbecue here on Saturday. He's a handyman of the "I built my own house" variety and he is keen to get his hands on our boiler to see if he can raise it from its sleep of death ! If not he'd like to bring a specialist to give us some advice. He's very keen. He is pressing for a time to come round and I don't think we can do anything before Friday at the earliest. Anyway I think we'll end up with a specialist coming to see - the system is weird and I suspect that it never worked well !

I for my part don't want to end up with a system that is too expensive to run or to set up, given that the winter here is very short and that homes here are often somewhat chilly and badly heated !
