The writer of Ecclesiastes says in chapter 4: “Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?”
Well – actually there are quite a few ways of keeping warm alone. And whilst I applaud the suggestion of keeping warm by lying down with somebody – for it is certainly a good method and arguably the most fun – I offer the following alternative methods of keeping warm for those who are not in such a relationship during the winter months:
A radiator
An immersion heater
A blanket
A hairdryer
A wooly jumper
A dog or a cat
Or a hamster if you can’t afford the above (a big one)
A warm bath (more of a short-term solution)
Jumping up and down lots
Hugging your pillow and pretending it’s someone you like
Whisky
I’m sure there are others, but those are the main ones.
