Bit cold out

We've had the heating on in the mornings for a while now and a couple of times in the evenings, too.

My Mrs is making eyes at the wood burner, too.

Yeah I can't boost, I've had the heating the past couple of mornings. Extra blanket didn't cut it for this morning in particular

Heating? In September? Get Tae fuck.

Not had the heating on yet, but I was tempted last night. The price of gas is holding me back though. I've a coal bunker that is full and ready so I think I'll lay a fire for when it gets chillier. I was also thinking its time to get the winter duvet down again.

I jest of course, wife already stuck it on earlier. Failed to notice that the boiler conked out (just needed refilling) but there we go. Just a matter of time before I get the appeals for it to go on in the mornings.

18 deg C here today, hardly proper cold but amazing how chilly outside it feels when not in the sun.
A comfy 23 inside though, no control over when the heating gets switched on anyway, it comes on for the whole building when the outside temperature drops to a certain point, will probs be end of next month or November.

A couple two doors down from me are like that. She has it on all the time with the windows open because she "also likes the fresh air as well as being warm". He just goes nuts.

I haven't even got any central heating - just a massive multifuel stove that melts your face and some crappy wall mounted leccy heaters scattered about which cost a bomb.

Grim up north!

Coal? Oil boilers? What century is this

And I've got gas central heating, but we've also got an open fire in the living room which we love using, especially over the Christmas.

However, having to drop off a works Teams meeting because the chimney sweep has turned up did make a lot of people wonder where the hell I was living.

This sounds eerily familiar to me.

Missus swathed in blankets/jumpers and heating on, me in shorts & tshirt melting.

It's alright, monsters aren't real

We had the logburner going last night. It was lush. Usually we'd wait till later in the year but it was fucking minging rain out

Our building has a huge oil tank in the basement that does our underfloor heating, it's a "minergie" building which should be very efficient, has ventilation running all the time and stuff. Not looked into how inefficient heating oil is tbh.

Can't be worse than all you gas bastards

I refuse to put my heating on until at least mid-October. It does seem to feel a lot colder than the forecast temperature though. Maybe it's the wind.

I run quite hot most of the time, so this colder weather is a welcome relief. I'm still sleeping with my bedroom window wide open at the moment.

I know for a fact I'm not built like other people, who can comfortably wear hoodies in 30 degree heat, whilst I'm standing there in shorts and t-shirt literally drenched in sweat.

I went to Rhodes once and it was 38-40 degrees the entire time, and despite staying in the shade, I developed heat bumps (like warts) all the way up both arms after only a few days.
