Just came back from my stupid mental health walk. How are you dealing with the cold? Power was a euro/kWh earlier this year. It’s 14 degrees here right now. Sometimes it feels like courage fails me.

It’s cold and wet here in NL, but so far it hasn’t bothered me that much. It’s always cold and wet around here and I kind of like it. But that’s just me.
Our house uses district heating which basically places us under a government controlled monopoly. Prices are not locked into gas prizes. On top of that the government mandated a price ceiling for energy costs. The price of electricity can not be more expensive than €0,40 kw/h for 2023. Not sure how things will turn out when 2024 comes around though.
Best thing for staying warm are warm clothes, of course. A thick cozy sweater is great, maybe together with some fingerless gloves if you get cold hands easily. Oh, and during dark days taking extra vitamin D might help as well. And of course, make your living space as cozy as possible: warm blankets, nice music, maybe some flowers to brighten the place a bit.
Oh and a personal favorite of mine when things get cold, Korean Citrus and Honey tea (Yuja Cha). I buy it premade in a jar. It’s basically a thick marmalade you mix with boiled water. It’s sweet but tastes so nice and warms me up when I’m feeling cold.
