[Misc] Have you had the heating on yet? [2016 edition]

[whitelion]

Not had the heating on yet, but soup is once more starting to look like an attractive meal option...

Made a leek, carrot, onion, potato and lentil soup yesterday and had a bowl with half a cheese-topped baguette just now or lunch.

But you're Scottish I'm surprised you even bother with radiators and hot showers

Well we don't. Obviously. At this time of year in our house, the only concession we make to the chillier evenings is we all huddle round a single candle. And if we happen to get a particularly cold snap we light it.

When I was a kid, we had a picture of a fire in the hearth.

Mind you, Dad wouldn't take the cover off until December.

Yep, Heinz 'black label' did well out of the Stat's last year and a couple of tins have now appeared in the cupboard.



My heating is currently set at 14 degrees so it coming on is still a long way off.

Still in shorts. But as a kid in the 50's who played and tunnelled into 6 foot snow drifts, in short trousers. Woke up to thick ice on the inside of the Crittall windows in my bedroom, with just coal fires for heating the house, I tend not to fanny about trying to be the last person in the south to put the heating on.

Heating in our house will not go on until second week January when winter starts and then off end March when summer starts

Yes to dry school clothes quicker, because someone forgot to put them in the wash in time to dry naturally....

No but it's constantly over 30 degrees C here so have the aircon on every day

It's locked into an open position unless you're a contortionist, and then you'd need to get past my other half, who is proficient in Kung Fu.
Besides, we've nothing worth nicking.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

No way, temperature dropping to12 c overnight is plenty warm enough. Still in shorts and will be most of the winter.

" do you think it was cold last night" is the usual start of the annual conversation
"frack of a lot colder in a care home you old duffer" will be my response

tend to take things from there

Quite the micro climate in Hastings Old Town then.
