The temperature in here was 15.4°C when I woke up this morning. And during the course of the day it actually increased without any heat input at all. So much so that at one stage we had 20°C in here.
Mind you, that’s not surprising. Outside we had as much as 16.3°C and in the verandah, over 25°C.
It really was an exceptional day.
So what to do with the surplus electrical energy? After all, no point in heating up here, as it was warm enough on its own.
No point in doing any washing either because although there is a lot to be done, I wasn’t sure if enough water had been melted.
The answer was to resurrect the 12-volt coffee machine. it needed a good clean as it hadn’t been used for a year or so but once it was up and running we managed a good pot of coffee. And why not?
What with electric heating, coffee machines and so on, it does make me wonder what I’m going to be having running next though.
But one of the drawbacks to the warm weather is that the fire, when I finally did light it up, never reached anything like hot enough to cook anything. I was burnt out of the room long before the fire warmed up.
Not that it mattered though because for some unaccountable reason I crashed out at 22:00 and apart from a brief 10 minutes of consciousness to take the readings and to switch off the computer, that was that.
