There's a cold front in Portugal this week. Sad thing is portuguese houses are poorly built and they are hot in summers and cold in winter. I'm trying not to have the heater on all day because of the electricity bills but I'm wearing two pants, two pair of socks and a blanket and the minute I turn off the heat I'm freezing!

Perfect time to bake something. Get the place hot. ;-)

I bought myself an electric throw for Christmas. It's perfect for my legs because I have arthritis. So, my window is open (hot flashes) and my legs and feet are toasty. ;-0

MrsT has one of those, and about a dozen other wraps, snugglies, body sacks, etc. to keep her warm.

This will make you laugh. I have a space heater AND fan in my room. I sleep with the window open (all year round) so I need the heater when I first get out of bed, but I ALWAYS sleep with the fan on. I thought it was just a white noise thing but I can't sleep when I just stream sleep music without the fan on. Women are weird! ;-0

I've been cooking a lot of things in the oven lately but once the heat is waning off I am cold again 🥺 My problem is I have poor blood circulation and my hands are always cold. Working from home I can cover most of my body but not my hands. I really miss the a/c in the office! My house is rented and I don't plan on living here many years otherwise I'd get one. I'm thinking of getting a gas heater.

Have you been checked for anemia? I used to freeze constantly when I had anemia. Maybe ask your doctor about it?

Can you get a window unit A/C? You can move it with you.

I hope the gas heater works out for you.

MrsT has to have a fan on, no matter the weather, to sleep. We've had some interesting experiences in overseas locations explaining why, in mid-December, we need a fan sent up to the room. :laugh:

I get blood work done every year and I don't have anemia...I really don't know how I get like this. Once we get back to the office I'll be better again :laugh: In the meantime I need to make amends with the fact that my electricity bills will be higher in the winter if I don't want to freezeto death.

I also don't want you to freeze to death. :hug:
 
My parents are worriers. This had just happened. I got up to this message (luckily I have programmed my phone with do not disturb hours so don't see or hear this until after we get up in the morning...)

I mean, just what exactly do they post to me that could possibly be affected? And how exactly does the UK leaving Europe affect what Australia allows through its border?
