Windows open today. Did shut them for the first time last night.
Mustn't forget to bleed radiators before I put them on
Shouldn't that set off some sort of Qi style klaxon?
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
I guess I'd better replace that broken radiator that I keep putting off.
Thing burst and started p*ssing water out across the room last winter so have isolated it and bought a new one. Not quite sure where to start tho
Despite it being still relatively warm, I went warm clothes shopping today. Well, actually I had a quick look in Marks & Spencer with the intention that that would just be a baseline for what to look for, but caved in a went ahead and bought my thermals there. A pair of socks cost me what a complete wardrobe would cost in Primark
Thick thermal socks (oooh long ones too), thermal long john's (which don't quite 'ride' right and slip down when I bend over, a bit short, oh well) and a long sleeved thermal vest. I have just given the whole package a trial run outside and it seemed to perform well, though it is 16 degrees C outside. A bit of wind helped. I was cooking after a 10 minute stroll in those and not much else, and my feet were bordering on uncomfortably warm. So a fairly good test result, if not conclusive. I need some cooler weather now to do a proper test run.
