JOHN IN FLUE ENZA

John is busy.
John has been very busy.
John is allergic to flues and what they contain in the way of ancient grot and dirt.

John has had very bad 'flue' enzasneezing that made working up the flue hell but he stuck it out covered with snot - sorry soot - and grime - but -

we have a wood burning stove in place with a heat-recovery system that will capture heat from inside the flue and warm up rooms other than the sitting room.

FOOTNOTE - BACK TO THE SUN

This feet photo was made in Slovenia as autumn approached with its storms and snow and we headed south for sun and warmth.
There is always some sadness about the declining year and it felt good to defer winter. I said at the end of our Korcula blog that rain was needed and a blessing! Well we have been blessed and soaked and it has been colder than the average mean temperaturre for this reason. When we left Croatia for Bosnia the rain began and stayed with us pretty much till we got to Varna. As we left Brasov there was snow on the Bucegi Mountains. Today there are no naturists. It is raining again. Life in the wheely cabin is limited if the weather is lousy - it is dark inside as the thermal silver screen has to be left up for privacy and warmth. Will we survive the winter I wonder. I have been hit with a cold and no flu jabs are on offer in Bulgaria!
