<\/a>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. <\/p>\nNo point in doing any washing either because although there is a lot to be done, I wasn\u2019t sure if enough water had been melted. <\/p>\n
The answer was to resurrect the 12-volt coffee machine. it needed a good clean as it hadn\u2019t been used for a year or so but once it was up and running we managed a good pot of coffee. And why not? <\/p>\n
What with electric heating, coffee machines and so on, it does make me wonder what I\u2019m going to be having running next though.
<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
