It's grim, raining and I'm cold but it's June. Should I light the fire?

Heavy rain has stopped gardening - it really is bucketing down. So I've come inside. My cat is logging on now so she can vote for option 1 - what do you think?

Yeah - if you're cold go for it

We’re in a holiday cottage with a log burner, it’s pouring down so guess what I’m about to do. Hint: it involves logs and combustion.

I leave these weighty decisions to my thermostat.

I'm with @The_Green_Hornet, the thermostat is set and keeps me comfortable.

Obviously put a jumper on first, that's just sensible, but if you've already done that and you're cold, go for it.  No sense in being cold if you don't have to.

No - man up, stop complaining and put a jumper on

I'm sitting here in a jumper replying, so you can guess what my vote was

No man up. We have been under a weather alert for heavy rain and thunderstorms,  I forgot to tell my panels, so they have pushed 11kWh to the grid at 1545 @23p. It’s 19° in the garden here, so I am happy.

I spent most of May hoping for rain to fill up the rainwater tank, but it's full and I've got plenty now to last well into July, thanks. I think I'll spend June hoping for the rain to give way to sunshine on the solar panels. By the way, spring really was a belter here - just got my FIT payment of £250ish, best ever

As our heating takes the best part of a day to get the house temp back up I've opted for the woolly jumpy option but SWMBO has resorted to the heated over blanket
