We’ll freeze, thanks
We’re getting toward the end of the cold season, but it’s still pretty chilly at night. Amazingly, 500 year old houses are not warm. I had a check of our home heating oil and it’s getting pretty low.
Last time we bought some, we paid £.53 a liter. They’re now asking £1.20. We have opted to bundle up in the daytime until Uncle B. fires up the stove in the evening.
What’s it going for where you be at, if you have oil central heat? (Also, have a good weekend!).

Not much need for fuel oil here in S. Florida. We pay .14 per kilowatt hour of electricity. The US average is about .13 and a half. Just paid our March bill and it was $121.00.
It’s double that in the summer months.
The bill that has gone nuts is water. My monthly bill was never over $65 5 years ago. It’s near $200 now.

Wow! That is a staggering price for water. For once I don’t feel envious of US prices.
