Dear Landlady.
You are a lovely woman, chatty and helpful.
And obviously blind if she hasn't noticed that you've got a, y'know, bike ...
Anyway, my grumble involves my room thermostat - not only is it sited in a singularly boneheaded place
1, but it now seems to possess so much hysteresis in its response that it's more or less useless. On the plus side, this time next week I'll have a nice new set of heating controls
2 which, thanks to more careful placing of a (wireless) room stat, should allow me to heat the house more efficiently rather than whacking the dial up to 'volcanic' in order to heat the living room.
1 - on the wall in the spare room (aka 'Mission Control'), about a foot above my head when I'm at my desk and one thickness of interior wall away from the hot water tank.
2 - if this event triggers a freak November heatwave then you're welcome.
