Well the weather is definitely turning now and we are still waiting to get some heating back in our little house. We're managing with a single plug in oil-filled radiator now which at least heats 1 room! So hopefully now the plastering work is done, we can get our radiators installed later this week - here's hoping.  

I did actually buy a long pair of fingerless gloves so I could type on the computer because my hands were getting so cold. I must look very strange when the postman comes to the door :)

Within weeks of being reassigned to the Confederate border system of Temper, the five would begin to untangle a web of lies and a cover-up that seemed to span the length of the entire galaxy.
