    So it’s over a week and a half now and I’ve had no central heating, using a small oil-filled heater and an largely ornamental gas fire in the lounge/diner, and a fan heater in the office, all of which just take the chill off but don’t really warm, and I’m realising just how much I have taken having heating for granted and how miserable I’m getting with always being cold. It was supposed to be fixed today but as one problem is fixed another appears and the thought that it might not be fixed by Christmas is just too depressing, yet I know I am so lucky compared to many others in the world.

    So, I have taken being warm at the flick of a switch for granted…never again!

    What do you take for granted, that you don’t want to think of life without it?

    And no Will that doesn’t include your weed and porn!

    a friend of mine is having a loft conversion and a new central heating system to replace the victorian one they were using. They have been without heating or hot water for 3 weeks!!! and its going to snow on Monday (allegedly).

    She keeps turning up here for hot showers and just to sit in the warm!

    hmmm as far as taking other things for granted. I think a lot of us take our health for granted. Well, those of us that are well. Being really ill for any length of time is dreadful, and some people suffer far more than anyone can possibly imagine. My heart goes out to those who are in constant pain and discomfort.

    Because I’m a born worrier I don’t take many things for granted. I suppose one thing I do take for granted is gravity.
