Cold!

The freezing weather has made me realise just how cold a house in London can get in February - that's inside, not out!  Even after plenty of years living in the UK I guess I'm still unused to the heating not being permanently fixed into the ecologically unsound 'on' position. Instead, by mid-afternoon the median house temperature has plummeted to what feels like negative numbers, and threading a needle becomes ever more precarious.  I've realised the key to staying warm is keeping my neck and chest cosy - my toscana sheepskin snood hasn't left my neck for days, which can look a bit suspect if I'm in trackies, but what the heck, I'm warm!
