sister_luckYesterday the heating broke - on a public holiday, of course. Emergency guy tried to fix it, but couldn't. Spare part has been ordered, but probably won't arrive before Monday. Not having central heating is one thing - wearing an extra-layer of clothing helps with that, but the heating system also provides us with hot water. So, no showers for us. The electric kettle gives us water for the washing up (which is still being done in the bathroom sink) and for other necessary purposes.
Like making hot tea. Tonight's meal is soup. We've replaced our energy-saving light bulbs with spare conventional ones, because they generate much more warmth.
Tomorrow the in-laws are coming over with fan heaters.
In the meantime, we plan on spending quite a lot of time snuggled up in bed.
And, yes, currently we've got a cold spell - courtesy of the Ice Saints.
Also, civilization is great. To put things into perspective: we've got water on tap and electricity, so much more than most folks on this earth.
