My wife and I have had a 'Duh' moment. You know - when you've been a bit slow to catch on. In our case, 'slow' was four years.
Let me explain.
We've lived in our lovely house for five years or so and like everything about it. The first thing we had done was to get a gas fire fitted - the sort that looks like a real coal fire. We love it. We also get to use it a bit more often than we'd like because we have always found the living room to be a bit draughty.
Of course this is fine during the warmer months of the year but when the chillier ones come around we sit there shivering until we light the fire.
So it continued until about a year ago when my wife had her eureka moment. 'Why don't we try shutting the door?' she said. So we did. Ever since then, our living room has been 'toasty' and we have been able to warm it up by just lighting a few candles instead of the expensive gas fire.
How stupid is that?
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.” - Albert Einstein
