So what happens on the coldest night of the year? That's right, the central heating system in our apartment stops working.
When I came home last night, the bad news was already waiting for me. Mónica had already called the company to send over a mechanic, but these things all seem to fail at the same time, and no mechanic was available until further notice.
The last time this happened, the mechanic came over, had to push just one button, presented the bill and left. So I started pushing all buttons I could find yesterday evening, but this time it was of no use.
We decided to pack our bags and go over to Mónica's parents to spend the night.
We had dinner, watched the movie 'Runaway Jury' and ended up watching the pictures of when we met for the first time on holiday in 1993. We both looked so young then. And it seemed unbelievable again that it all started with those four days together in Tenerife, now almost 12 years ago.
This morning, the mechanic already came over. And this time he didn't just have to push a single button. But the most important thing is that we have got heating again, and we can cuddle up on the couch again tonight under our warm blanket.

Good to know the heat is back on. Just reading that gave me chills. I'm ALWAYS cold and no way could I have done without heating.
Enjoy your cozy time together.
it figures. It's kind of like carrying your umbrella every day, then leaving it at home the day it rains!
enjoy the heat!
it's nice to reminisce
