Households in the UK are already settling into a slightly earlier than usual Heating Debate, as in: should they put the central heating on yet?
Earlier than usual because of a bit of a cold snap over there, but whenever it happens, it prompts arguments:
No surprise that Belfast households argue more than any other. They could fight each other over stuff they agree on.
And they do.
But of course, down this end of the world, we’re heading the other way: into hotter times, and the joys of summer.
Except not yet.
So there was absolutely no debate at all when we got home this evening, that the fire was being lit.
Bloody freezing*!
* it’s 11°C
