Madrid is hot in the summer. Madrid is freezing in the winter... it's winter. Worse yet, our place isn't well insulated, it has electric heating and electricity is demasiado caro (too expensive)!
It is a Herculean task to keep this house warm and even if we could, it would be, financially speaking, a pyrrhic victory.
The cold has launched its "feliz ano" offensive and has now driven us from the living room. It became to costly to hold that position. We have fallen back to three main strongholds, the playroom (new family room), the kitchen, and the master bedroom. The kids room is currently an active engagement area. We take it in the evening but by morning the cold has over run us and we fall back again to one of the strongholds.
We are staying hopeful that there will be a break from the cold war by next Monday but the war is likely to go on for several more months!
Stay warm out there!
