How cold is this winter?
Super cold. Here in the Sunshine State it is all gorgeous sunny days that are actually a bit arctic. People are walking around in 3 jumpers because no one actually owns an overcoat in a subtropical climate. It is strange and lovely to smell everyones wood fires going, I'm sure those fireplaces have only ever seen decorative candles before. I do not have a wood burning fire place, or even a heater, so it has been a bit of a rude shock to me. OK, I have a fireplace in the garden, but that won't keep me warm.
Do you know what will keep me warm?
A heated throw rug! Like a heated blanket but specifically to snuggle in on the couch! Not only will they warm up in ten minutes, and keep you warm with 9 heat settings; they are perfectly safe in the washing machine and drier! Genius!! Also, it is much more energy efficient than a fireplace.
