Saving energy

[Lori]

we dug out and climbed into sleeping bags - we were so warm that we dropped off to sleep and missed the program - fortunately I'd recorded it

I'm sorry, but that did give me a good laugh.

I can relate. We'll probably light the poêle today for the first time in at least a couple of weeks.

I get it in the neck as, of course, there is something wrong with me, I sit in a tee shirt come rain or shine and am hardly ever cold, unless venturing outside. OH is constantly cold and wraps herself in a couple of tops, sits on the settee, and the next thing has a blanket around her. Feel my hands, yes sometimes they are cold, I don't know if she has a circulation problem or what, so the gas fire gets going and it turns in to a Sauna. The joys of getting old.

I can't think of any actual joys, apart from being able to stay in bed a bit longer in the morning. The rest is creaking joints, pain, and waiting for the next thing to need repair.
