Re: Tabaluga's

yeah, see how I go with sleeping bag thing. @Former-Member sad that people have to do that.  bit like swags for homeless and wanting a pat on the back, why not a flat or a house ?

@Former-Member 

Yeah, I bought into the whole mindfulness thing years ago...I might not actively 'practise' much of it, but it has changed my outlook on life etc. Certainly agree re more people doing it. I've heard some stories of it being introduced in schools even

Re: Tabaluga's

True @TAB but it affects broader society now.

 

Saw a relatively well off couple in the UK invest in these bags because the winter a couple of seasons ago was merciless in their homes.

 

Saw them walking around their homes wearing them. 

 

People were literally freezing to death

 

Many people in other parts of Europe in the cold of winter having no heating either.

 

I wondered what was I going to do if the power got switched off here like it was overseas.

 

I decided then the grid was no longer reliable and was told in a matter of time the power here would go out just like it has overseas.

 

I did not want to be landed with the option of not being able to stay warm while it was freezing. So I guess that is all we can do is to improvise. 

 

I'm happy to do that as I don't want to be cold in my home. 

 

But that is the reality check we are being given right now.

 

I don't like what is happening but there are no other alternatives

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB hey tabby, hope you're okay. Just woke from nap. It's kind of cozy to have a warm light in the cold room ha ha

Re: Tabaluga's

Re: Tabaluga's

Re: Tabaluga's

Hey @Meowmy @TAB

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB @Meowmy @StuF 

TABSTA you got lung clots?! I don’t know what that is. But anything other than air should not be in your lungs 🫁 

What are the medical folk going to do about it?
