Collider Day

[poliphilo]

We've just bought a couple of daylight bulbs for the living room. This is all part of our multi-pronged strategy for beating the recession and making this winter a happy experience. It may be glooming outside, but inside it'll be as bright as May Day and we won't get SAD.

We've also invested in fleeces. Mine has little skull and crossbones all over it.

I understand the Large Hadron Collider has been switched on. This is probably the most important event of the 21st century thus far. I don't think we've been sucked into an alternate universe, but if we had, would we notice?

Were the bulbs expensive?
I think we need some,too.
The logs for the fire are piling up nicely.
I like the sound of your fleece and I'm very glad to still be alive on this planet.

We got 'em from www.cheapenergysavinglightbulbs.co.uk

They cost us £3.19 each- but they were more expensive than most because we had to have screw fittings.

I wish we had a wood burning stove. My mother got rid of hers because it was unsightly- a mistake I think. She lives down your end of the country and is surrounded by trees.

Wood stoves are great - the heat would literally drive you outside! Also, when the power shut down during a blizzard, we were warm and also able to make instant coffee, tea, and soup or stew. (More memories of New Hampshire).
Yes, at times I do miss the wood stove - but I do not miss splitting all that firewood!

We live in a smoke free zone- which means we're not supposed to burn anything but smokeless fuel- though I'm not sure anyone checks up :)
