It's that dread time of year when I contemplate the resumption of wearing socks.

Heating !?!?  - have the clocks changed earlier this year  ;D

A support ticket was raised on Monday and estates brought the switch to GMT based heating forward to lunchtime that same day.

 ;D  - no wonder it was dark so early last night.

Joking apart, I've just go the raceblades out to fit to one of the machines I'll be riding in the winter - depressing

But I sat at home in the warmth under my control.

We ran the heating a bit earlier, as we're both feverish post COVID vaccine and have no idea what a reasonable temperature is.  It usefully brought the humidity down to the mid-70s for a bit.

I may have to wear both socks and long trousers on Friday, depending on what the weather is like in London's famous London on Saturday pm.  The heating is on in here* at the moment because it maxed out at 19 this afternoon but they still had the aircon cranked up to full blast before I took up occupancy of my room.

Enquiring minds need to know. If you aren't wearing both socks, which one do you wear? Do you alternate on a daily basis to ensure even wear and tear, or do you have a drawer full of pristine left socks and hole riddled right socks?

17C in my flat & I'm at the edge of my comfort zone in a pair of lounging pyjamas.   I may decide to close the window transoms shortly.   It's also time to rotate the light summer linen shirts & get the warmer stuff out of the boxes.

Sorry Andrew, but you in lounging pyjamas is way past my comfort zone.

But yeah, seasons are turning.

Somewhat surprsingly the heating stayed off this morning - 18C in the living area. Helped I think by the lack of wind. Tonight is the last cold one for a while according to the forecast.

Lowest so far in the last couple of weeks was 18 degrees overnight. Today looks to be the first day we've not had over 20 degrees at noon in the living room - though 19.8 is pretty close.
Heating not on at the moment.

Currently it is 29degC in my air conditioned room. And 31degC outside. Egypt. Sandy but hot.

17.7C and 65% humidity according to the cheap tat meter in our (north facing) lounge.
I'm sitting under 2 fleece blankets but no cats (bah) and my dose is cold.
16.4C now. I'm going to need to give those capped pipes a test...

The battery indicator in my automatic thermostat suggested they needed changing, which I
duly did. This resulted in me having to reprogram the daily settings and try to wirelessly
re-connect it to the boiler. Despite me following the instructions on the Worcester Greenstar 30si
boiler documents I have not be successful in doing that. The heating kicked-in, so I had to
turn the c/h switch on the boiler to 'off'.


I'll try again tmw (tomorrow).

Heating not on, but fire is definitely lit.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Dressing gown on. My office is claiming 21.3 degrees though. I did skip the offer of an outdoor swim earlier, wisely, as the water temperature was reported to be 19.6 degrees. I don't go in water that cold without a bathysphere.

No, not yet, no heating, and I'm still sleeping under a single sheet.

My sole concession is long trousers. If it gets cooler ill contemplate a jumper. In the office on Wednesday with a stuffy train on the way in I was melting.

Socks, yes. Long trousers today, cos I wasn't on the bike. Shorts yesterday. Thin sweater or fleece. Waterproof if raining (usually is). Got really warm today but nevertheless, you can feel autumn.

Sounds like you need to put on Mr Pingu's jumper too.

Heating on.

I've taken my jumper off.
You two need to talk.

We do.

Mrs P: I'm cold.

Me: I'm not.

Mrs P: That's the heating on.
