Sunday 19th January 2014: 5.46pm.

Just picked up 200kg of this fairly sulphurous but good strong heat Polish coal plus three bales of peat briquettes for €92, which made the poor Ford Focus groan a bit given the weight transporting it back to the house. At 20kg of coal consumption per week, I'm hoping this will see us through to early April hopefully. What's crazy, really, is how cheap this stuff still is relative to other forms of heating, especially given how noxious it is and choking smog forming! It's a bit like being still back in the 19th century!
