Heating off, fans on ?
It hit 26.4C in husband's office in Surrey today and was 23C here. Usually, when Spring is much warmer, we would have been in Summer cooling mode since May. When husband came home, we rearranged our bedroom a bit and put a tower fan back in there. We have a Levoit air purifier on 24/7 365 because husband has COPD and we…

Old Style Daily Friday 05 July 2024
Good morning all. I'm up with the birds after an early trip to the loo. My pathetic injury is still sore in bed despite the ibuprofen gel. The sky is wishy-washy blue which is welcome after heavy overnight rain. Yesterday the weather was really wild, perhaps we've been transported back to December. After a wee rummage in…
