My Mother

Doesn’t like the cold… of course she’s not overly enthusiastic about the hot either but that’s another story. This is just a short note about our table heater… a little gas powered warmer that extends our use of the patio in the evenings by warming us around the table as we eat… or whatever.

I’ve been cleaning, staining and painting preservative over the setting for the first time in 3 years so had to take the heater off the table. Then of course came the discussion about whether there was any point in putting it back through the summer.

My suggestion was yes… because the old lady is never as hot as she wants so this might help her sit outside to eat in the late evening. The wife suggested in that case why don’t we put the heater under her seat instead… this would kill two birds with one stone (literally I thought!!). Keeping her hot and the table clear πŸ™‚

We decided this might be a bit extremem and the old man thought perhaps wrapping her in the electric blanket might suit. I said I was concerned about the possibility iof tipping liquids over it… especially bearing in mind the fire a few days ago.

It occured to me a better solution might be to get the jumper leads from the garage and connect her to a battery… I figured if we stuck a bulb in her mouth she could be a Chrissie decoration!! By now the old lady was beginning to take offence so we gave up on that line of thought πŸ™‚

No point to the story… just family stuff πŸ˜€
