Your relationship with Jeremy: This was, I remember, something that you & John Ong talked about – that time you & he were in conversation on his ‘cast a while ago. It is along the lines of that of a parent & child – whatever it may have started out as, it’s like that now. In some ways that’s a whole lot more binding than just being in love with someone – a lover you can go off of, even come to hate & despise but the love, & concern, for a son is an enduring emotion.
Keeping the temperature in the townhouse down to something like 50 degrees does sound a bit toooo extreme. I remember the bad old days, pre central heating, when we first came to the U.K. & the house we initially lived in used to get ice on the INSIDE of the window panes overnight during the winter. However what you’re proposing is very eco friendly and energy saving – but beware of hypothermia setting in !!
I’m off on Monday too – bless the four days a week that I work. The 11-hour days are a killer at the time, tho’.
Just had a thought re. the attraction of thermal underwear:
Could it possibly be put down to your youthful & formative years, of drooling over the pictures in your Mom’s Sears catalogue, the ones in the men’s underwear pages. They would ‘ve had pics. of hunky guys looking purposeful & manly & gazing into the middle distance whilst clad only in tighty-whiteys or thermal long-johns, or …. ‘gasp’ ….bikini briefs.
I know I did. ( drool, that is) ( c’mon …. that was the dark ages in Calvinistic South Africa when I was a kid – no internet, no porn, no magazines. )
