62F/16.7C in the room. It was 67F/19.4C at bedtime. Thanks to the wood stove. 8C/46F in the greenhouse.
Up at 6.40 after a busy night at the fire bucket.
A good day for a ride? It starts raining tomorrow afternoon and then daily. A shame to waste a sunny day. It would need warm clothing. I'll have to search for my winter gloves. I haven't needed them until now. My wrist and thumb brace will complicate matters.
9.10 Returning from a 50 minute walk down to the village. Looping around the church and back again. A beautiful sky of high, brushed clouds. Long, feathery streaks across the whole sky. It was chilly on my hands. Despite keeping them in my jacket pockets. The many birds out on the fields needed no gloves.
10.30 I have just switched on the oil-filled radiators. For the first time this autumn/winter. The east facing bathroom had dropped to 50F/10C. Which felt a bit chilly. The kitchen is at 58F/14.4C but enjoys some warmth from the sun. Through the southerly windows. Cooking provides short term heat addition. One window is covered by the greenhouse. Which reduces heat loss and gains from any warmth in the greenhouse due to sunny weather. The living room has dropped to 61F/16C and I shall light the stove.
11.00 I became dizzy and had to lie down for an hour. Two logs on the stove to keep it going.
12.15 Another log on the stove. It has reached 64F/17.8C in the room. 80F/27C in the greenhouse. 48F/9C but windy outside in bright sunshine.
