    We're working our way through the trees that came down in the storm. Got about 2 years worth of timber. Every cloud and all that :)

    Ran out in march/april this year after having a supply for last 3 years so was down to the bog this summer.

    I know it's not cold but there is a slight chill in the air which a nice, small fire will fix.

    Cold? A lot of Irish people (particularly women) need to man the fuk up when it comes to weather.
    A bit of a breeze, bit of drizzle, grey skies - is not automatically cold.

    No way not the women but the men I know a few and you would think they would melt if they went out in a few drops of rain

    I call it "change out if the shorts and t-Shirt into jeans and jumper" weather, not "stay in the shorts and T-Shirt and light the fire" weather. ;)

    Seriously, is this thread a wind up? There is no need for a fire. It is pissing down here and I have the windows and back door open for a bit of air to come in. I appreciate that we are all different but put a jumper on if you have to.

    And people complain about fuel bills. It's not their usage at all, it's the company ripping them off...

    Its the start of Autumn, not winter!

    Its definitly not cold imho, dark and grey and full of potential soakage yes!

    It could be all changed, warm, sunny and summery tomorrow or within the next week going by our sporatic weather :pac: so I wouldnt go about getting all wintery just yet!

    Light the fire if you want to OP, for the evening thats in it, its always nice having one lit on a dark gloomy day, bit of nice wine or something and big dinner :)

    I had to close the blinds because of the sunshine. Plus, I had to close the windows because of all the noise from the kids playing outside. Now I'm too warm :mad:

    Just realised I'm starving! What would be good to eat whilst sitting in front of the fire, glass of wine in hand listening to the rain?

    It's not stew weather, just yet.

    I'm sitting here in my T-Shirt, short and flip-flops. Windows open as much as they can be in this rain…

    Pissing rain here all day and still warm. Went into town and nearly fell over with the heat. Back door open now so a lovely gale going. Can hear stuff being knocked over upstairs from the curtains. Still warm though.

    Candy, don't make the same mistake as me and forget to close the windows. Bugs and insects all in my room. I could feel them flying around my head!

    I slept on the couch that night.

    One of my friends (male) wants to go inside every time the sun goes behind a cloud during the summer. Last year we were playing pitch and putt and one of the lads had his top off while cold guy had a tshirt and a shirt on with a full-length coat zipped up. He hilarious though, I once told him I had put on an electric heater when all I'd done was put on the light, it was enough for him to think he was warm again. :P

    People who are always cold get on my nerves big time. Especially when their first reaction is to put on heating instead of a jumper. I love the winter because I get to put on a hoodie and to roll into a ball in bed. :P

    It has to be psychological to a point. Or maybe being brought up in a home where the heating would be at molten point. The Irish mammy phenomenon.
    Our house was always cold so that made me "hardier". :pac:
