      Waitrose shopping delivered and put away. Clothes out of WM and hung up.

      Popped to the post box, which was a bit of a dash to meet last posting time due to Waitrose lateness, and it's cold out with a not nice breeze. Not sure I'll venture out again.

        Afternoon denizens

        It's going to be warmer than initially forecast: although it's still -1°C at the moment, it will rise to 0°C for an hour or two this afternoon before falling again

        Quite sunny with white fluffiness here and there, though. Barometer up at 1020/1028mB.

        Internal temperatures: bedroom 11.5°, living room 14.5°. Might dig the fan heater out to supplement the gas fire's efforts

          It's warmed up to 2 degrees and clouded over.

          Probably safe for SE to get out of bed now.

          EDIT: Oh I forgot they were already up

            The fan heater is now on, so the room is filled with the aroma of burning dust. Not so much filled with heat so far, but let's give it a bit of time and see if it makes a difference

              Are you cold-blooded? My house is thermo controlled at 20°C upstairs and 21.5°C down. I'd be murdered at your temperatures.

                Not particularly, but that's the way the place is so I just have to deal with it

                Thinking back over the week, I've been having to have the fire on for longer and at a higher setting as the fabric of the building has gradually lost heat to the environment. But yesterday was when it seems the last of the retained heat dissipated and temperatures really crashed in here.

                Thanks to the fan heater it's back up to 18.6°C in the living room now, and I've sorted out the oil-filled radiator in the bedroom so I can warm that up before I go to bed tonight

                  Hadn't had toast in a while for some reason, so lunch has been a couple of rounds of buttered wholemeal

                    I've been outside again.

                    It's noticeably warmer than this morning. Breeze has dropped too, so it's much more pleasant out.

                      I just popped out the back, and it isn't here. Still -1°, and now the weather app is muttering about snow showers
