"I am sitting in my house finding it incredibly difficult to write this week's column. It's not for want of enthusiasm or an idea, but rather I am wearing so many layers of clothing that my movements are fully being hindered. I am struggling to bend at the elbows due to the three jumpers (plus a fourth wrapped around my waist) that I am being forced to wear. My fingerless gloves (yes, I have gone full Dickensian) keep dragging on the keyboard, causing typos."
"I should probably amend this statement to: the season of arguing with your other half about cranking the heating has well and truly begun because, as we all know, there're really only two kinds of people in Ireland: those who want the heating full blast from September through to March and those who would literally rather throw themselves on a kitchen knife, roll into a vat of acid and eat nails sooner than press that sweet, sweet comfort-delivering button on the wall."
A person sits in a house wearing multiple layers of clothing that severely restrict movement. Three jumpers plus a fourth wrapped around the waist prevent bending at the elbows. Fingerless gloves drag across the keyboard, causing typos. Socks are added every quarter hour, currently totaling three pairs. The internal battle over when to turn on central heating intensifies with the colder season. One partner prefers the heating on full from September through March, while the other refuses to press the thermostat, exemplifying a stark domestic divide in heating preferences.
