Well, this morning it was cold: 21 (F). I'm betting that's going to kill off the rest of my roses. As long as my furnace is working, I've no problem with the cold. The temp in the house is set at 70 (F), and I find that comfortable. However, if we end up with an extended period of cold weather I usually crank that up a few degrees because there is absolutely no insulation in the walls.
I stayed up late watching TV. The final 2 episodes of Only Murders in the Building took up over an hour. I signed up for the cheap Hulu / Disney package. That means there are commercials. Added together, there are about 5 minutes worth in each 36 minute episode. In shows like that I find it acceptable, however, when I watch a movie I don't want to deal with interruptions. We shall have to see how that goes. Most of the movies I watch are on Netflix and Prime Video, with an occasional foray into Paramount / Showtime.
And, speaking of movies, probably the one sequel that I was pleased to see being made is for This is Spinal Tap. Since it was first released, I've probably watched it 5 or 6 times, possibly more. I mean, what's not to like about a mockumentary about an inept heavy metal band. Here's the trailer for the first film. The second has some musical luminaries lined up... like Paul McCartney, and Elton John.
I feel no sorrow for Melanie; she made her bed, got into it, put her heels to Jesus and cashed the check, so she can fuck all the way off.
ReplyDeleteOf course, she doesn't really give a shit about anyone else
DeleteTo tell you the truth, I'm surprised Melanie went to the funeral at all. It was almost painful to see Jimmy Carter. I suspect with his mate gone, like many other closely connected couples he will join her soon. My paternal grandfather joined my grandmother about a month later. They were inseparable for just about 50 years.
ReplyDeleteThe cold has pretty much put the garden to bed here now. About the only thing blooming en mass are the pansies, and the winter cabbages.
Same for my grandparents, together 70 years.
DeleteI saw a picture of the top of Jimmy's head, white hair, that's about it. And tomorrow we're supposed to begin warming up again.
DeleteMelanoma is a heartless gold digger who has to put up with Cheeto's toadstool. That's all.
ReplyDeleteAnd if your house was built in the thirties of forties I totally believe the insulation is non-existent. My ex's house was built in 1938 and he had the same problem.
As for the repugs wanting to have Hunter give testimony in private? Par course. I hope he digs his heels in and insists it needs to be public. Damn, I'd go on TV and ask for a public hearing.
XOXO
My house was built in 1905 - back then they had no insulation, no running water, and heat came from either a coal or wood stove in the kitchen. Fun stuff, eh?
DeleteI have a small heater that I put on first thing in the morning when I get up, but other than that I try to keep moving as it's the best heater there is. Mind you, every time my neighbour comes round she complains how cold it is!!!
ReplyDelete70 (F) is fine for me in the winter, though I don't doubt that at some point these old bones of mine will want it warmer.
