This is not just any blanket...

It's a heated blanket!! The boys tested out Granny and Grandpa's special blankets and were most impressed. 

Went for a run with the dog and eldest on his bike this afternoon. He gor a puncture about 2 miles from home, so I carried it back with us (it's low to the ground, so uncomfortable to wheel it). We had very nice chat as we ambled back, so it wasn't all bad.
