Police are urgently appealing for help to find a 12-year-old boy from east London who has gone missing on a freezing cold night. Yafee was last seen by a family member just after 5pm in Khartoum Road, Newham, which is off Barking Road just south of Plaistow Park. His family have been searching the local area and speaking to his friends but he has not been found. The boy was reported missing to police at 8.38pm.
As we wait for our landlords to turn on the radiators in the encroaching cold, we started assessing the best throw blankets for keeping us above freezing in the interim. These picks are suitable for year-round coziness, but we've pulled a few of our tried-and-true favorites for lounging, napping, working from home, and keeping our blood viscose in freezing temps. We've prioritized machine washable options and avoided synthetic fibers-the last thing we want is to be swaddled in carcinogenic material.
