Gremlins and Shamblies.

Yesterday the boiler behaved as if it had a gremlin inside it which was trying to get out with a sledge hammer. Seriously - the metal casing was buckling. So we turned the boiler off in the hope of stopping an immanent gremlin/boiler explosion. The Oast is a little bit cold today. My room is 13 degrees

Personally, I'd bet on a kobold, not a gremlin.

Possibly depends whether the boiler is feeling more old-Germanic or WWII American - I have yet to ascertain. Whichever little fey bastard it is it can stop fekking around with the boiler else I'll hit it with an iron skillet!

As long as you don't upset any lurking brownies... ;)

Heaven forefend. Perhaps I should leave out some milk, or bread and honey...

You could. Although that would never work around here, aardnebby would gobble it up. My only chance of saving cookies around here is stashing them in the cookie jar, which he tends to overlook!
