Wood burning stove lit last night

I didn't really need it, but it was raining and I fancied it. So last night I lit the wood burning stove for the first time since the spring.

The cats enjoyed it together for a short while, and then seemed to be taking turns;

This year I didn't have a log delivery as my carpenter neighbour has given me even more of-cuts than normal, as his store roof had a leak in it and he had to empty it out. He is also having his roof done, so I got 3 bags of off-cuts from that.

Off cuts burn more quickly than logs so I have to remember to check it more frequently if I am watching something on iplayer in the dining room.
