Central heating has just kicked in. I'd turn it off and put on a fleece, but Mrs G is 'freezing' so it's staying on.

I get the same issues here, Madam flounces around in her thin summer clothes moaning how cold it is, refuses to wear a cardigan (or similar) and is happy to throw another £5 on the heating bill . . .

No chance of me putting the heating on until October! My house is currently saying 23c and it's pleasant out in the sunshine.

Paul 22-08-2026 15:48

Yep, mine triggered in the early hours for 30 minutes, first time since mid June.

SnoopZ 22-08-2026 15:51

Re: Weather
 
I always turn mine off at the Hive when I don't think it's needed, I still don't need a duvet on the bed so no heating needed for a month or so yet.

Thenry probably had his heating blasting out in July. Lol

I might book a holiday for next month to avoid the transition period.

A bit wet and nippy outside today at 10am which is a sharp contrast from the very pleasant warm weather yesterday, it's all down hill from now on I suspect which is why I cut the grass yesterday morning before work.

Three of the chaps in our cul-de-sac religiously wash their cars every Sunday.
They often wander over to each other for a quick chat (I think they're doing spot checks myself) . . . they may a well have a picnic table out there too ;)

I never want to ruin my paintwork, I tried the one in Tesco and it came back with swirls, then COVID hit and they started charging £16 a wash..... Not a chance I'll wash mine myself it doesn't take long.

Costs me £5 when I do it, not really that expensive, a drink in the pub costs more these days.

The weather is just doing its best to help us with our net zero targets:

Solar power? here's months of blazing sunshine for you.
Wind turbines? hey I'll throw some extremely windy weather your way, oh and lots of rain to counteract the drought conditions from that brilliant summer . .

Today was the first time in ages that it rained from before dawn until after sunset. And it's still coming down. As the barometer slowly dropped, the gusts rose in force.

Few more weeks of rain, and the reservoirs might recover a bit. In time for next year’s drought.

Definitely colder here, not a frost yet but the forecast is rain for the next 2 weeks.

House temp is 21c but for now I've had to put a jumper on as it feels far colder but it's usually very nice at 22c so maybe sweating my balls off soon.
