My central heating works with heating oil ( is it called like this ? ). The litre of this oil costs .-50 cent today and I will need 4000 litre for the wintertime. 2000 Euro for one winter. It is not cheap, but is it terrible expensive ? I`m not sure.
Yes, heating oil I expect is correct.
It's frightfully expensive for Morocco, but my UK prices are based on 12 years ago, so not
sure. :)

It is a big trend in Germany to heat the whole house with wood, like the way to heat a house 50 years ago. Having both: A central heating and a wood stove will be the best of all to my opinion.
I never have to freeze in my house in winter.:)

It is time to "throw" my torts out again. :eek:
Full sunshine in their outdoor enclosure. They have to collect natural UV as much as possible. It`ll be a long winter ...
Back in a few minutes after "throwing" torts .....:eek::D

Love to the torts. :):<3::tort:
Speak soon.

Done !
Torts are outside for ca. 5 hours. After this time the sun leaves my garden and it will be too cold for the torts in the shade. That`s the time when I have to return them into their indoor enclosure.
Yesterday they had been so exhausted from being outside, that the immediately go to sleep in their hides and burrows when they were back indoor again ! :eek:
POOR TORTS !:D

Tidgy is often like this. She loves the outside, but when she comes in, just crawls into a corner or a hide and crashes out.

My central heating runs on natural gas and, since, we had our elderly boiler replaced by a modern (and more efficient) condensing one a couple of years ago it has been pretty cheap to run. Not that it's been on for the last few months anyway :)

Wishing you the best that the student will arrive.:D
Mayby the missing one was run over or trampeld over by a camel .....:eek:
Two missing.
So two camels .
Considering there are none in the city, it's pretty unlikely.
Meerkats a more sensible possibility.;)
Actually, it's the big holiday on Friday, the Eid, so probably they are preparing for this.
But they should have called us.
This student has come, but is now writing.

That's the way I heat my house in winter. There were two propane wall heaters here when I moved in, but I've decommissioned them and only use the wood stove. I've not had to ever buy wood. I have a pick-up truck and pick up scrap lumber and unwanted wood all the time. Plus I have cut down several unwanted trees over the years. One such tree was a 50' eucalyptus with a 3' trunk. That one kept me warm for 5 winters.

I found a recipe online that mixes seasoned browned minced beef, onions and a dash of tomato sauce, grated cheddar cheese incorporated into a cream sauce, and poured over thinly sliced potatoes in a casarole dish and baked until the potatoes are done. This is one of my favorites. I fix it often. But I love mashed potatoes too. :D
This DOES sound good!!! :)
