Tuesday stealing the common from the Goose.

Morning

Windy and slightly less brr© Weather's set to drizzle. Meh.
The DW's will be back to school which means spooky quietness.

Coffee...

Bjr

Woodburner opened up, as it's -9C outside (though realising that I've dodged a bullet here as it's -11C down in town). Won't be doing much this morning, though might go on another hunt for pretty frost and nicicles to photograph.

Other than that... coffee.

Morning

Clear and brrr here, rain expected this afternoon. Nothing planned, may go up to Embra to look at shiny bikes. After coffee.
Maybe wait until this snow shower has finished....

Morning
It was minus 5.9 when I got up this and it’s now a tropical minus 4.4. So todays physical activity may be limited to a long walk with Bertie who is loving the snow. Although he’s not too keen on all the birds visiting his garden.

Only minus 5 first thing down in the sub-tropical South East (can't beat our correspondents from Oop North and France) and it felt a bit cool in the house at first. WFH in the cave with two 2kw fan heaters going pretty much continuously, might have to go into the office more if this carries on. Had a spot of coffee and now torturing numbers until they tell me what I want to hear.

Sadly ski holiday this month is off due to diary clashes, now hoping for a late season get away.

4kw? time for better insulation

Minus 7 on the riverside this morning but banked stoves keep it warm on the floating home.

I immediately recognised the thread title, as this is one of my favourite songs, I guess based on a famous poem:

smidge of snow falling here, and the mince pies have all been eaten

Down to 2kw now after the 4kw morning blitz 😊, but yep it's a stand alone single garage with some plasterboard, flooring and electrics etc so inherently chilly in sub zero temps.

Sort it you tightwad.
I have a 1.65kw Vortex air pro currently on and heating most of a whole detached house.
(off solar of course ). Current leccy bill £50pcm but we are £600 in credit so actual consumption is iro £17 pcm currently. It's winter.

Hello Mr. Pot 😉 Probably not worth it given the number of times that it's this cold and I'm working in here.

you could probably find some celotex going cheap, some people might pay you to take it away

Ta - the materials wouldn't be expensive and it would probably make sense if we were converting it now, but as we inherited it already converted, painted and wired, then ripping out what's there to out some insulation behind it and put it all back would very likely not pay itself back. (There may already be some celotex behind what's there, not sure).

The electric bills for Mrs 666s and juniors infra red sauna cost way more as they use that all year round 😳
