Half-light

The Gorse Fox has had to change a light bulb. 

Not a task that requires untoward exertion. However, it is clear that we are running low on "real light bulbs" and GF has had to resort to one of the new low-energy bulbs. He has picked a comparable bulb to that being replaced and is now sitting, squinting in the eerie half-light of planet-saving technology. 

His office has all of the welcome brightness of a candle-lit cave - but hey who needs to be able to see anyway.

When we got our HIPS pack done, the guy counted the energy saving bulbs in the house. The end result? We get a very high energy rating, even though it's a cottage built in c1890 with no wall insulation.

So they have their purpose!
