When I got up this morning it was only 14C in the house so I started up the furnace. I may turn it off again later in the week but, for just now, it's needed! I have brought in all my outdoor pots just in case there is frost. The plants all look so healthy having spent the last few months outdoors.
It was cold at tennis on Sunday but I was quite comfortable (compared to one of my friends) as I was dressed in layers. Having said that I must say I didn't shed any layers as we played. The Scandinavians have a saying, "There is no bad weather, just bad clothes", and I entirely agree. No point in being cold when you can add another layer!
Still without my stove. The repair man came today and replaced the part but now I need an electrician as it seems it's the outlet which is at fault. That won't happen until next week, I'm afraid, but I have one booked.
The car is booked for its service next week and I will call to have the furnace serviced before the end of the month - always something needing doing!
We turned our furnace on last week, but now it just comes on for a bit in the mornings. However temperature drops again tomorrow so I am sure we will need the heat.
ReplyDeleteOuch so sorry about your stove. I wish the electrician could come sooner.
God bless.
Being without the stove hasn't been as bad as I expected.
DeleteWe also turned the furnace on this weekend. That stove repair is turning out to be very costly & of course you need to ensure the furnace is up for the winter challenge, so money well spent. Fingers crossed that both the car & furnace both only need a watchful eye on them & no repairs needed.
ReplyDeleteThe furnace checkup is covered by my parts plan so doesn't cost me anything. Not so with the car. It's 13 yrs. old and will inevitably need something extra. Last year it was a big expense.
DeleteMY heating has been on when I wake from time to time now. Not today, it's quite mild, but it is expected to get a bit colder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nuisance about the stove, especially at a time when warmer meals are desirable. At least you have one booked, that's good.

The only problem is not being able to bake anything, so no sweet treats (maybe not a bad thing)! I baked a loaf in the bread machine so I guess I could try a fruit loaf or sweet bread,
