C-c-c-c-cold

Oct 27: the fleece blanket is back. Admittedly, I had to use it in June last year but that's just cause England sucks and there was no heating available for a bit (and it was cold and damp). The prospect of living with this thing around my shoulders for the next 8 months is not exactly making me happy.

On a funny note, they call radiators here "central heating." 

ha. ha. ha. 

P.S. After writing that, I looked it up and they are correct. But seriously - forced air you know, works and stuff.
P.P.S. Concern has been expressed for my wellbeing. I am fine, cuz I haz mah blankit. But seriously England, why choose inferior heating technologies? Why?

Ah, you of little world experience. Hot water radiators were a mainstay of home comfort in my youth and darn thankful we were to hear the clanks and whistles as the water slowly rose from the depths of the cellar. There was even a story, told on dark winter nights, about a mysterious tank in the attic that had something to do with excess water. On a practical note, hot water heat is better for plants, too. Just don't lean against a hot radiator. Oh, and you can't call a hot air vent a "radiator"; ask any physicist. Radiation, convection, or just plain wind.
