It is colder than cold, dear friends.

Good morning, mylotters. I have told more than once that in my country, every drawing made by a toddler has the Andes mountains in the background. They are beautiful but the snowed hills that I see from my window and entrance are more than cold. Where I live, only the very rich have central heating. The rest of us have small heaters and we can´t even have a cimney nearby as chimneys are forbidden in my city. The air is very polluted, so much that not all cars are allowed to ride on the streets every day. This morning, again, the smaller of my gas heaters (R2D2) is out of gas. I called for another cylinder and it will arrive around 11 am. I have a whole cylinder but the gas truck will be around today so I´ll ask the sweet driver to change the cylinder instead of having problems with my old body. Now I just had breakfast (and ate the last one of my pancakes) and had my coffee and my pills. I´ll stay in bed until the gas arrives. See you, friends

We used to have bottled gas but it's piped to the house now.

I hope you can afford central heating in your next home. Have a good day.

Don't you have Electric heaters? We have them. Plus the costlier(but also more space occupying) Oil Filled Radiators. Central heating is probably in some high end hotels only. Normal homes, even of the rich don't have them. Pancakes and Coffee sound interesting. We had our combined breakfast and lunch outside. Then Tea and Snacks as dinner. Not a usual day. Yet this is how it went. The high dropped due to overnight dust storm and rains. It is close to 37 to 38 C now ( From a high of 42 C earlier). By the way, what are the lows there?

I don't like being cold at all. Maybe some warm blankets and clothes can help you.

I hate the thought of you being cold. I hope you have some warm clothing on. And I’m still hoping you get that electric blanket!!!

That doesn't sound like fun. I only use the central heat or AC when it is really needed..but would hate for it to be cold and not have heat available.
