Brrrr
I’m cold!
The house seemed cool this morning, but I altered the heat settings on Saturday to make the heat run slightly shorter times, so I thought that was it. I noticed at 2.50 p.m. that the heat wasn’t on, at a time when it should have been, but of course it cycles on and off throughout those periods so the fact that the furnace wasn’t running wasn’t extraordinary. I thought “must check that” - and promptly forgot.
Went to the obstetric physio and got home shortly before 5, and the kitchen and dining-room were fairly warm - due to cooking, obviously - and since that’s as far as I got until after dinner, I didn’t realise that the rest of the house was cold.
It turns out we have no heating oil left.
Well, not “no oil”, but not enough to cover the tube that feeds it to the furnace. So effectively, no oil.
What fun.
Scratchy is planning to buy some in portable drums while the boys are at ju-jitsu, though I’m not sure about this plan - is it the right stuff? And will it be enough to cover that feeder-tube anyway?
If not, we’re in for a cold night 
Also today: kids worked and played, I cooked and supervised. I left Toby at home with Scratchy for an hour while I saw the physio - she wanted to work with me on the exercises, and even hands-free with a sling/wrap doesn’t work for that. Barney’s tired and cranky (because he stayed up really late last night), George hasn’t gone to ju-jitsu (because he feels tired, and tbh he doesn’t look so hot either - hope he’s not getting sick). Freddy played Zoombinis with Jack’s “help” for an hour this afternoon. So not much else to report then… except to mention that I know exactly what I was doing this time six months ago 
In: babies, education, family, life, rants and moans, social stuff
