He he I'm the same David! Bedrpoom window is never shut and all
radiators
in the bedroom are permanently off, couldn't sleep otherwise.
Occasionally
close the window if it is windy to stop the doors rattling away or snow
blowing in.
Oh dear, another meeting of the 'who can keep their house the
coldest during winter' brigade......
I am impressed that Will (and his wife, assuming he has one) can withstand
having no heating and the windows open all winter. Might as well sleep
outside :-). I have the windows shut and the thermostat set at around 12C
when I get up in the morning and that is just about tolerable.
No, no, no... don't get me wrong. I like a warm house and rest assured, I'm
living a cosy existance. It's just that as far as the bedroom is concerned,
the bed is cosy, but the air is nicely cooled. It might have something to do
with a childhood where there was no such thing as central heating. It was
always the case of hot water bottles and an extra overcoat (sorry, I mean
blanket!) thrown upon the bed. I still prefer a hot water bottle (when
needed) as opposed to an electric blanket or radiators.
Living near the coast, it can be quite pleasant lying in bed and listening
to the distant roar of the waves breaking upon the beach on a stormy night.
Regards... David Allan.
