I want to try Welsh dry steam coal but difficult to get in small quantities.
Would be excellent for winding up inner city woke guardian readers.
Its known as "thermal coal" which to my untrained brain seems quite a sensible solution. I suppose it might get ridiculously hot requiring doors opening and virtual nudity.
Maybe getting wood is better.

I don’t fancy going in that water after you’ve all been in it.

We went to visit a friend of the woman who was house sitting in an a large houseboat on the Seine in St Cloud. Expensive area people have Riva speedboats alongside. The houseboat was awful. All about the money with no taste or class whatsoever.
There was a heated water thing on the deck. I wouldn't go anywhere near it but the others got in it and they got a skin rash.
I intensly dislike these sorts of things but I do like the idea of a couple of fridges full of beer.

A neighbour has a hot tub ... he loves it. When he comes home from work he likes to relax with a soaking. Don't think his partner's too keen.
Not my thing at all ... I don't even do baths ... showers for me. Not had a bath since I was about twenty !

Its nice to sit in there and chill with a beer, 20 mins for me is enough though, i wouldn't have purchased it myself, it was Gills wish so she got it.
You do need to keep the water levels right, we have different powders you have to add and then little strips to test the levels.
It away now for winter.

Mind you with electric costs it may have gone when we get home 😁

Tell him to top up from his hot water tap, for us to heat via electric heater it cost at least £5 and eight hours to do this in summer, i fear in winter it would be 4x this.
I have fitted a hose connector under the sink and can run a hose out the window to the pond and use the boiler, costs £1 and takes about twenty minutes.

I did ask him last winter, as I was interested, how he could heat such a large body of water so quickly.
He said it is maintained at a certain temp. and once switched on, within 20 mins of him getting home it was up to using temp. ready for him.
He did tell me how much a month it cost but I can't recall ... wasn't wildly extravagent but obviously a luxurious extra he was happy to pay.

We had a heated swimming pool just across the lawns from the front of the house on our estate yars ago. The sand filter in the pool hut kept blowing up so after a while the old man decided not to bother with it. Plus of course we couldn't afford to warm it anyway, or the house, or do the roof or any of that sort of irritating nonsense.
Nice pile of bricks "one of the lesser country houses of today" but rapidly falling down in our ownership.
