    It is getting chillier here now. The house is 15c this evening. No heating on yet but I have put my electric throw on for the first time.

    I really need to wash my heated throw! 

    It is 19c in the living room this evening.  I expect the raging wood fire I had last night along with some soup making this evening has kept it warm!

    We would be lost without our heated throws and under blanket 

    This week’s project is tacking a strip of leftover carpet above the integral garage door to stop draughts. 

    Really hoping that will make a difference as our bedroom is right above that garage and the draughts are fierce in winter.  

    Also added some homemade insulation in the garage ceiling (old clothes, blankets dust cloths). Hoping for a big difference this winter, although have reclassified some old bobble hats as bed hats to prevent cold painful ears like I had last year!
