[pf] rubber bands and winter

· I've just finished setting up our living room (where we spend much of our
time, as a family) for winter.

· We turn on the LPG (propane) heater a quarter-hour before one of the
younger ones gets up; to keep the hot air in, I clip up a fairly thick
king-sized bed-cover so it blocks off the arch-way into the dining room -
I've just done that for the first time this year (clothes-pegs with a hole
in one handle and a wire) - and closed the other two doors.

· One of these is the door to the passage, which people go through often.
So, as I started doing about 20 years ago, I attach a rubber-band-string
door-closer, so it's never open for long.

· Again, the first time this year. Being rubber bands, however, they perish
in the oxygen of the air (& much faster in sunlight), so as I stretched the
string of rubber bands for this first time, I was all prepared for it to
snap. It didn't, so it's all set up for winter now.

· That's all. Nothing earth-shaking, philosophical, or otherwise worth
paying any attention to; just our normal life.
