The weather has turned cold, which on the positive side means one can hide indoors in front of a roaring fire and eat lots (last night’s sausage and mash with red onion gravy and steamed lemon courgettes turned out pretty well), but on the negative side means it’s the season for colds and sniffles. The baby now has a full-blown lurgy of some description, which has caused some disturbed nights, a battle to get her to eat or drink anything and general unhappiness, which is a bit weird as she’s normally such a chirpy soul.
I’m also stuck in a rather cold attic office; somehow I need to figure out a cheap and cheerful way of insulating the room a bit better; the old insulation between the house and roofspace stops a lot of heat getting here in the first place, but I’m pretty sure when the room was converted that not a lot was done to insulate the pitched roof. Suggestions welcome!
