Just got back from running some errands and it feels as if the temperature has plummeted to way past freezing. Have also gotten this tickling shivery sensation in my nose that indicates I am about to get a cold. Ugh. [Aachoo] Defiantly a cold coming on, time to stock up on Kleenex. Just don't think I can face the prospect of venturing outside again. Rather curl up on the sofa with a big blankie, a book and a mug of hot cocoa. A fireplace would be divine.
We used to have one in the old place. It was just wonderful to curl up next to it on those cold wintry nights and snooze in front of the grates. Well ok a couple of feet away. We used to pull these big green cushions out from behind the couch throw a blanket on them, curl up and watch the flames mug of hot chocolate in hand. Could spend the whole evening that way.
Next place is definitely going to have a fireplace!
