Gas

Our gas supplier is raising the price of its product by some ridiculous percentage.  Time to get out the woolies.

I refuse to feed their shareholders' hunger.

Because central heating is very nice and all, but I lived the first ten years of my life without it.  Later, as a young married, I spent three years in a draughty, decaying, unheated, Victorian vicarage in Cambridge- and If you can survive a fenland winter without buffering you can survive anything.

Ailz says we can go sit in the public library if it gets really cold.

I keep my heat at 64° in the winter, and dress warmly, use 'spot' heating, and mattress pad heaters. The cats have fur coats, and the Meezer can cuddle with me at night, which he does with glee. If he needs more insulation, I'll have my friend knit him a coat.

We're beginning to work on our strategies.

Or- rather- Ailz is. She's the practical one. My thinking doesn't extend much beyond piling on the sweaters and body-warmers....
