So cold! As I sit here in this office, I'm wearing thermal underwear plus another 2 layers on top and one extra layer at the bottom, and my fingers are cold. The thermometer says it's 17-18 degress C in here, even though both panel heaters are on. But I don't believe the thermometer - my body tells me it's about 15 degrees in here. It never gets quite warm enough in this office, in winter, unlike the main living areas where the wood fire is blazing valiantly to keep the status quo, against the cold winds blowing through every gap in the house. It's 9 degrees C outside, which isn't that cold, but the winds make it colder.
The lack of cuddly warmth is the price we pay for the walls of big glass windows everywhere. Great views but brrr! We have to relent and get some blinds, at least!
It's been pouring, pouring with rain for days. John next door had a vivid dream of rising waters, sliding mudbanks and waterfalls over roofs. I think there was 27cm of rain today!
