Meanwhile here in blighty it's the middle of Summer,18c and a little damp. My neighbours decided to take Global warming seriously, and has contractors in installing Air conditioning :rotfl:

My client keeps asking about air con as well. Really?

I was tempted to put in mhrv partly so I could easily add ac but decided in the end that was a little pretentious.

My knee is aching today, haven't twisted or strained it so must be the chill and damp in me old bones

Would you feel too nuts wearing a hat in the house. I have a silk turban think, like some broad from the golden era of talkies might wear in her dressing room, from PATRA, I think. Its hideous of course, but easy to put on, hair friend ly and warm but not hot. I wear it in the house and on the yard. It keeps my earswarm and a bit covered too

"hair friendly".My assorted problems over the lat 11 months have not been "hair friendly". Post stroke my hair started thinning, but I did'nt notice and everyone was too polite to mention it. Jaundice brought on more hair loss so that each time I brushed my hair the brush was full of loose hairs. No bald patches but becoming sparse all over ( except hair where I did not want it which grew with new vigour). In about May I finally noticed and asked OH how long it had been thinning and he told me. The loss stopped shortly afterwards and my hair started to grow back . There is such a lot of fine short hair in amongst my normal hair that it looks wirey and acts like scaffold to the longer hair. first thing in the morning I have really bad bed hair . My daughter said I look like a troll ( A plastic toy with usually neon coloured fuzzy hair that sticks up) My husband said I looked like a gonk ( an equally unflattering look). I am having my hair cut every few weeks so that the sparse longer hair and the new hair are coming together. It is currently "styled" how Einstein wore his hair.

A silk turban sounds the height of grooming in comparison.

Found this for you then. In my search I noted Valentino are doing a red one for £295 if you prefer?

my hair falls too. I think mine is endo related though rather than nuero? But also I think when I get swelling it doesn't help. Using an oil might help in styling, or a serum. But really, sounds like it is growing out. .

The similarities between the two cities end there I'm afraid ��

Oh, but its fine in the rain! ( ) The drops playing on the canale, watching drops trace down architecture, beautiful and dilapidated both, sitting in vaporetti. The morning mists, Venezia is at her best in the mist I think. In truth i wouldn't say I don't like Venice in the sun at all, but I Much, much prefer her in slightly moody weather. Unlike lots of other places.

You mean that the Grand Canal and the Manchester Ship Canal don't share similarities? I am sad to hear that and will cancel my holiday in Manchester forthwith.

Have a great time kab.

It seemed hard to justify as the electric cost of the recovered heat was no cheaper than just heating new air via gas ch so it would never have paid for itself. It was more the idea of having filter air for my hay fever and the possibility of adding AC that appealed.
