Cold temps - 9° - and predicted to stay there awhile. Gas line workers are here reassessing, but said they probably won't do the replacement today. I hope when they do it, it won't take all day as they have to turn off the furnace and fireplace and I suspect the house will get chilly pretty quickly in this weather. Got all the presents wrapped last night and all the stockings are well-stuffed. Just waiting on Laura's ball-winder to be delivered. Food: 7:50 am Blueberry crumb cake, 103 g blackberries, coffee
