We had an early bitterly cold snap last week. Cold enough to come home & dive into bed to keep warm, which equalled not getting anything done. Not finishing the mini spring clean, not making a chemisette, not cooking real meals.
Usually we get a suddenly cold single day, it bounces back to the then current temp then a few weeks later the temp drops and the cold sets in (rather than a gradual dropping). Cos I was expecting it to be only 1 day, and not need the radiator for at least a couple more weeks, I stubbornly didn't plug it in until Friday night. Cos it's an oil filled radiator, the main cost is heating it up. It's cheaper to leave it permanently on a low setting than to turn it off & on. So once I turn it on, it stays on for the rest of winter.
I've got a huge tidy up do to at home this week, as i was barely home on the weekend so I have that clothing to wash/put away as well as the mess I made doing my mini spring clean. It's in the messy stage between starting & finishing and it has to be done, and done NOW.
Tomorrow night I'll do some uploading of the weekends pics ... I haven't even looked at them myself yet.
