Don't get me started on that

Why would you want a heat pump that cools your house down?

As I wrote, the coil bit gets warm so it would heat your house. A lot of heat pumps are reversible so can cool your house in the summer and heat it in the winter.

It's also an air sourced heat pump. ( imagine the big coil that gets hot being inside your house, and the inside of the fridge that keeps things cold being outside your house but the door is missing ) That's how Air sourced heat pumps work.

But won't the cat's steal the meat ?

I have my box freezer in my pantry. It's amazing just how warm it gets In there in the summer. I quite open have to open the door to let the heat out.

It made me think of what other objects work in reverse ? A camera in reverse would become a projector .

Morning. The rain came on around 5am so I just lay as long as I could but the old hips start getting achy so had to get up. I’ll wait till later to get out as I don’t fancy another soaking this morning.

I gave Marriage a go last night and forced myself to watch 2 episodes. I’m sure the writer is trying to cleverly show the tedium of a long term relationship or something, but it isn’t working for me.

Is it based on a normal working couple or film or football celebrities ? If the latter it would be full of action ! Divorces , legal action , more weddings and so on .
I sometimes wonder if they become addicted to marzipan !

2 Episodes .. I gave up after 10 minutes of episode 1. I didn’t get beyond the argument about chips or a jacket potato. Mrs JK managed all of episode 1 .

Good Morning and bang on cue the 50% chance of rain has arrived. Dark, overcast and drizzly but forecast to improve.

I will join the Club Ride at 9.25 as it passes my road and will very likely peel off and head for home after 24 miles. Small person is arriving for a sleepover this morning. Not sure what I will do, still the route is very handy to let me jump on and short cut if I wish...........................I wonder who designed the route for today???

Not much else to say. Hoping the weather is decent this after so I can take small person to the village sports club where the cricket will be on and lots of kids running around. We will see.

Good morning all.
No rain her today, clear skys, but nice and cool .
Off to London Colney nature reserve later. I used to go fishing there, 60 years ago with my Dad when the old gravel pits were leased by the Barnet and District fishing club. Nowadays it is a reserve and it is a nice walk all around there, and somewhere new for Millie the Collie to explore.
Lunch will be had in the Green Dragon pub by the River Colne.
I have a new chain to fit onto the Raleigh Royal, which should take all of 10 minutes which includes shortening it to the correct length.
Another busy day in paradise

Morning all

A day of sorting and storing stuff today - making a start on tidying the bungalow up ready to put it on the market.
We've got two house viewings booked near Watchet on Monday - one of which looks very promising.

I recorded 1 episode of marriage, but after hearing how dire it was I deleted it without watching it. I won't bother with it.

I'm going to stick with it, just in case is gets better, you never know.
It helps me get to sleep if nothing else.

Curiosity usually gets the better of me and I keep watching just to see how it finishes. I’m sure I can cope with another 2 episodes
