This is the current common saying in our apartment. It's fucking freezing in here! (pardon my french, but I think we're all adults here) We have the pleasure of living in one of those buildings that has central heating. Meaning, we do not control our heat. It gets turned on in the late fall and turned off in the late spring. When it's on, we can crawl onto the floor and turn a knob under the radiator an inch in either direction to control how "hot" it gets. When it's off, I can lay on the floor turning the knob for as long as I like in either direction and nothing changes. It's off. And right now, it's damn cold! We are relying on the weather to heat our apartment. And I need not point out that the weather is not cooperating. It is not warming up anything! So we are walking around in socks, sweatpants and hoodies. I actually went to bed in sweats and socks last night! Dave had to bring me a hot water bottle, my feet were so cold. Okay, he didn't have to, but he did. Allowing me to point out once again how lucky I am and how special he is. I mean, other than my mother, nobody has ever brought me a hot water bottle for anything, let alone for having cold toes in June! But I digress... We are now adding "Control our own heat" to our list of "Hello's" at the new apartment. Until then... I've got to go sip a cup of hot tea. It's fucking freezing in here!

you don't know cold til you come up to edmonton. Why just the other week we had, rain, thunder, lightening, and yep, a little bit of hail mixed in, but we're lucky, we get to control our own heat. Nope, i dont turn the boilers off for nothing, cause you never know when it will get cold. Whats the weather really like here? As they say, ask me in five minutes. Aren't ya gonna love the fireplace in your new digs, and if that doesn't work, you can always stand on our balcony and warm your hands over the barby, but i don't recommend bring the barby inside for added heat.
