Twelve point nine Shivering under a quilt and thick blanket. Cold nose, red. Blue fingers. Pain, the gnawing joint pain. A relic of a heater on the wall. 1980’s, forty years old. Inefficient, expensive, smelly and broken. Politicians, councillors, SSE; no one listens. Plight ignored, forgotten and insignificant. Not worthy of warmth. Illness, misery, dreading winter. Hats on, coats on, cost-of- living crisis. The crisis for me was years prior to this. The plight of millions was our pain much earlier. Silence. Cold. Blue. No hot water for five years. Twelve point nine on the metre.
