Oh Christina, the post about mum and the heat! She usually goes to bed before I do, doesn’t use her blanket then wakes up cold. Instead of pulling up the blanket or getting an extra blanket she gets up and turns the heat on, often going around checking the water to make sure it’s not frozen. Then she sits up reading until it warms up and then goes back to bed!!!! 😂 but I usually turn the heat down before I go to bed in hopes she’ll sleep though it. But yeah it’s her age, she’s 94 and has a bee in her bonnet that if it’s cold outside she’s got to turn the heat up. To be fair she spent her first 7 years in an old farm house with no running water and no central heat. And her early days are still clear in her mind, she “forgets” how well insulated this house is, and that the windows and doors are double pained.
