I seem to have missed some comments here, due to excitement and distraction.
I remember you talking about enjoying heat ( inside a house/ apartment ), in that case it's better not to visit me ;<)

Yes, we are all different.

Nice to hear you talk about the art of gathering and drying firewood. It is important out here too. Honestly, many people struggle to find enough dry wood, out here, or forget about it, until it is too late ( already cold and humid ). We don't die from that though. It doesn't get that cold and we help each other out, if necessary.

I have plenty of dry firewood, since Wednesday. Drying it in my house ( before) worked a bit, if I put it around - or even on - the wood burner while the fire was on. ;<)

Sending a 'warm' hug from a room that is warm enough for me ( not for you haha)!
