fire.

we tried out our fireplace for the first time last night. mmm...fire. it works very nicely. the chimney draws properly, and the fireplace has a circulation vent around it to get more heat into the house. and fire is snuggly.

however, apprarently after it cools off, the cat likes climbing inside, finding pieces of not-burnt-to-powder wood (charcoal?), and hiding them around the house. now he's got soot all over his paws. and of course, the fur on his legs is white. stoopid cat.

Yay fire! Fire is the very *snuggliest*. We have a coal fire at our place and aside from the minor challenge of the way our spacky-thicko dogs want to curl up in front of it until their rear ends cook, it's pretty fabulous. The circulation vent helps too -- we need one of those, on reflection. My bedroom is so damned cold...

As for the cat, well, that's what fireguards are for =-)
