Number one son and his girlfriend came back the other night with some electric heaters and shopping for the cats and dogs and us from a certain discount supermarket near us.
The small ceramic plug heater is only small and costs 22 Cents or 14 Pence an hour in England to run. It's not that big going off the size of the plug socket, but it does gives off tremendous heat.
It reminded me of that joke about a poor family who used a donkey jacket (poor donkey"!) for a blanket. The mother says to her kids: "Don't call it a jacket call it an Eiderdown". A while later. Mother is entertaining posh guests downstairs and her son shouts down the stairs: "Mum the sleeves fallen off the Eiderdown".
It will be great turning on the plug in the morning and getting warm whilst we eat some biscuits and have a brew. Real ground black coffee of course! I can't stand the instant stuff.
I will post another keeping us warm post another day.
Here's an old rock song favourite of mine:
