I love the wisdom from your Scotsman! Ha! My father was Scotch and Irish. When his hair started thinning, he would wear a "snood" when we were camping.

However I love opening the windows and cuddling under the covers. My Scotsman likes to tell me I'd be cold in Hawaii. At night he complains he has a bald heed (accent) and gets chilly!<br />Hands on your hips? That's the same as pointing your finger at them!!

But even with the heat on, I feel chilled when I get out of the shower...of course he claimed I boiled myself in the shower. LOL I bought a small space heater for the bathroom...turn it on when I get in the shower, leaving the door shut, and when I get out, the bathroom is nice and toasty. You might want to try this.

We usually agree on temperature, I would rather the house be cool (don't tell but I like the windows opened a little at night) but remember I'm usually sitting under a blanket with a computer and two cats on my lap - that keeps me pretty warm.<br /><br />Now when I'm out in my writing room I do have my little gas stove and I love to turn that on until Nick yells from the other room that he feels a heat wave coming on.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089921175249262297.post-26406996931259625922015-11-18T13:09:35.484-07:002015-11-18T13:09:35.484-07:00My husband wears short sleeves throughout the wint...My husband wears short sleeves throughout the winter and I wear layers, lots of them.
