The above image shows some type of social strata British attitude to dealing with home heating.
Tonight I am cold for the first time this season and G is not here. Do I need another dog or some extra cats? Or to bundle up in more clothes? My hands are blue but I wore a t shirt today and was ok, its all too quick. I will put back the nice top I put out for going out tomorrow and get out lots of layers. And big socks.
Even though I have lit fires I WILL not put on heating in this country before October, then I make sort of competition with my self for how long I can last. . . Houses like this, ultimately, were designed to be kept warm by fires in fireplaces each and every day.....constant low heat.
Modern building regulations require better insulation and glazing standards etc. I think the other thing here its its a short season for nice dry icey cold or snowing cold, but most winter is damp and 'rheumatic'. That damp cold really seeps into your body and makes your very bones cold.
I have a similar "competition", but with the AC. I refuse to turn it on until after Memorial Day (usually around May 30), or it's hit 100F.

Hmm. If we did this our bills would very easily be three thousand or so for the winter. I can really think of more interesting things to do with any portion of that money. If I knock a fifth /quarter off that for a few years its a window repair or replace for one of the sash windows, for example.
I quite enjoy the discomfort. Sometimes. When we had ice on the inside of windows I found it so heartbreakingly beautiful at sunrise I would feel sad for all the people that never experience these joys.
( but then I'd think about washing my hair in the freezing house). The time our lavatory froze solid for a number of days was both an adventure and a little uncomfortable. I'm glad it happened, but it would not want it to be life forever.
The water in this town looks suspiciously urine-like
No way I'm drinking it...
Finally! After a two month back order my weight set has arrived!!!!!
Wait. Two months?
Did those come from the moon as well?
No. From Houston!!!!! Drop shipped from another company out of state. Go figure.
Well, I'm not sure why you are actually ordering more weight, but good luck with that
On the up side, my gluts are now sore.
Haha! Picturing children
