A new obsession has found me. A very curious obsession which i am glad to say is destined for a short life... 

I am sniffing out and eliminating draughts!?! Yes, crazy stuff, but so satisfying when another draught bites the dust... crazy... 

I've just spent the last few hours filling gaps underneath my window frames - gaps that are invisible unless you happen to clamber underneath the dining table, or sit on the floor under any one of 3 other windows and then direct your gaze toward the point where wall and frame join. 

And there you have it - they don't join!! Where wall and window frame should sit tightly together, they've shifted slightly apart over time as the house has moved and breathed - so that a flow of cold wintry air has been steadily, stealthily and silently negating the hot air emitted by the heater directly below. Yes, 3 of the 4 windows i've draught proofed tonight have a heater directly below! i've been spending money heating my draughts... crazy...

Now I sit smug and snug. An eliminator of draughts, a draught warrior who has conquered. Obsession over...
