Hot Water Bottle

[poliphilo]

Ailz and I have been using hot water bottles since Christmas. Ruth gave us them. Mine has a knitted, roll-neck cover which is really cute.

Here's a tip. Make sure you remove your bottle from the bed in the morning. Otherwise you may forget it's there and sit on the bed and...

...Find yourself stripping off all the bedclothes and wafting the mattress with a hair dryer.

There was something to be said for the stone hot water bottles of my youth.
Seriously, I've only once used a rubber hot water bottle - never again! In the morning it was a repulsively cold floppy object. If I ever used one again, I'd take it out before going to sleep, not in the morning.

I grew up with rubber hot water bottles. Everyone in my family had one. My mother used to knit little woollen jackets for them. Mine was red. The jacket helps retain the heat.

Yes, I suppose that a cover would help!
