Torchi I quote you ...My god, but don't you meet all sorts on this forum,.. Ghianda streaking in the olives when the missus is around, and admitting to cross-dressing when she's not around to control him. I must say that you lead a rich and varied life Ghianda.

IF HIS WIFE WAS HERE he could think of a better way of entertaining himself and that keeps him very warm at the same time. I'm sure

You're right there Nobes - she'd have me running up and down 2 flights of stairs for this, and then that. "No no that one, the blue one, no the big blue one".

OK, here I go...

Your location in Italy
Currently not in Italy - I wish I was in Bagni di Lucca - but in the North of Spain

The outside temperature and inside temperature
Inside 22 degrees, outside 13 degrees

Do you have any heating on, if so what type
Yes, central heating.

How many layers of clothing are you wearing on your upper body
Pyjamas and a Robe

Whether it is raining, snowing, sunning, spitting dwarfs or whatever
Raining cats and dogs for the last three days. Sick of it!

What the most appealing thing is about where you live/have a house
The terrace, but I can't use it because it's wet.

I own some furniture (just to be relevant to the forum)
Most of it antique and inherited. But I love all of them.

Hee hee! Most of my furniture wouldn't burn.

And, just to be extremely politically incorrect - what the eff is wrong with proper lightbulbs in the winter? Of course, they throw out as much heat as light - but that just keeps the gas-bill down....in the summer, maybe, if you have to live in a dull place like Glasgow (or California (could that be right?) those dim gloomy things which are now called light bulbs might be marginally useful, but PERLEASE.

Of aesthetic necessity I have stockpiled the only bulbs which Achille Castiglione considered appropriate for his ouevres, and fortunately the likes of Richard Sapper employed decent halogens from motor cars (and they haven't got you putting low energies into headlights...YET) - but (as a collector of lamps) I'm really rather impressed by some of the Philips art LED jobbies (at something over €500 apiece). I do have a rather dinky early Philips low energy Arts Council competition winner, circa 1970, and it has only had one bulb replacement in 40 years!

Wish I hadn't asked now......I was hoping for sooooo much more....

Nah - the inflatable stuff - when it was de rigeur - didn't survive the cats!!! (Which is a big consideration for me: furniture must NOT be scratchable!)
