Wives,windows & Warmth

I run really hot so it’s actually me opening the windows in my pad

I sleep with a bedroom window open all year round

 

I just can’t do the cold …
I’m such a skinny bast that I just can’t keep warm these days, I’m always shaking like a shitting dog !!
The wife on the other hand is covered like a cross channel swimmer …
Never feels the cold and always feels red hot ( no,..not in that way either ! ) I’m sure she’ll just spontaneously combust one of these days, I’ll come home and there’ll just be a pile of ashes where she was, …..get in !! ..new Ducati with the insurance money !!!

 

Everybody is different? We are all unique individuals, regardless of race, gender, ownership, age, political leaning, belief etc?

 

I feel the cold really badly. In fact as I write this I’m wearing a heated gilet, a quilted jacket, a scarf and a woolly hat. Indoors.

 

Try central heating my boy. It’s the future

 

As lady Vader is of a certain age and going through the big M, she’ll Suddenly go really hot and shove her head out the bedroom window then leave the window open at this time of year!

 

My brother has had this battle with his missus for nearly 30 years.
She has the heating on full (she's spanish) and has the windows open..... Wimin! (again)

 

It’s simple. She’s looking for reasons for you to be in the wrong. That’s what they do.

I wonder if gay couples have the same issues?

 

Unfortunately my house is very firmly in the past. It dates from around the 1600s and is of timber framed, lime plaster and lath construction. It’s not just very poorly insulated but there are only two radiators in the house. There’s an absolutely enormous fireplace in the living room, big enough to walk into if you duck under the beam, like something you’d see in Hampton Court Palace with a suckling pig on a spit, but it’s also so inefficient you basically need a bonfire in there to get the room warm and it burns through firewood like it’s going out of fashion.

 

listed possibly? ^

 

New buildings eh! 12th century stone walls up to 1.5 metre thick. Roasty toasty in winter, cool in Summer. Don’t make em like they used to.

 

Went out the other day! Told the wife to put her coat on. Where am I going? she asked. Nowhere I said turning the heating off.

 

Install a log burner.

 

Same here, sure it's much healthier, especially with a lot of people in the household.

 

This conversation happens daily in our house, and yes Mrs Freak is the same boat as Lady Vader...

We're out in the sticks so we have a 2100ltr LPG tank buried in the garden, so no mains gas and it's currently at about 10% and good old Calor can't give me a date when it will be refilled, over winter months we consume about 10% every two weeks.... so we'll be out of gas before the end of the year if they don't get their act together. I've told Mrs freak this numerous times but she still opens the windows thus letting all of that very precious heat out. I don't think she has any perception of just hold quick and how cold this house will be if we do run out.

 

We have our fire on to keep the dog warm......apparently......

Best not to ask.

I keep warm by skimming my track photos from Spain/Portugal/Italy......

 

We have a house built out of 30cm thick thermalite blocks...amazing insulator for both heat out in the summer and heat in, in the winter!

 

I have control of the thermostat..... These are my wall decorations....
