There is a first time
for everything. For us, it’s the first time we have a portable, open gas fire in
our flat. Yes, it’s out there, in the open, spewing delicious fumes and
threatening to consume unattended items of clothing. It may come surprising to
some, but Amman gets really, really cold. We live in the constant fear
highlighted by Game of Thrones, waiting for winter to finally come. In the
past we’ve managed with electric heaters, wall mounted heating units and the
most expensive of them all, diesel central heating. This year, we have to find something else. It is our third winter in
Amman and we have succumbed to what many hail as the most efficient form of
heating: the soba. It’s a metal box on
wheels where you place your gas canister, hook it up to the pipe connected to the soba, light the
spark and let the fire heat the metal grill. We used it last night and honestly, it
was nice and warm. Not sure how comfortable I feel with this roaming risk but, we gotta keep warm!
Have a great weekend
all!
