stephbgThe weather forecast for tomorrow included a haze alert "so go easy on the wood fires".
This in addition to "don't use your gas (or electric) heater" and "switch off the lights", and let's not forget "be water wise". No-one can afford oil or petrol or diesel, and we've all been priced out of the alco-pop market (oh noes!).
My current primary source of heating is powered by cat food. I just caught myself cradling the vent side of the laptop for the warmth.
I'd really like to have a hot bath tonight, but fear a government raid if I proceed without appropriate authorisation. It's not paranoia; PolAir1 is hovering over my street scanning for illegal infrared signatures.
Saturday night football will be fully lit, however, because the power usage will be offset by the drop in domestic consumption by the attending crowd. Apparently.
Solar? Wind? Geothermal? PigPoo(tm)? Pfft. Who needs it?
