Check Smoke Detectors

further news from Ruth's Facebook "thank you everyone so much for your kind thoughts. we will find out tomorrow when we meet with the insurance expert (trust it to happen on a weekend) about what is and isn't covered. we should be fine though it will of course take time. the saddest thing really is the books, old first editions signed, poetry, all the classics, art books ...all things we had hoped to pass on to louis. but by then perhaps the book won't even exist..who knows?f ...oh and that beautiful cardigan karen knitted for louis and he only wore once...it seems clothes may or may not be recoverable but right now everything is black and very stinky. the cats are very confused but we go every day and feed and cuddle and hopefully they will still be there when we go back. louis misses them a lot i think."
