Blessed relief ...

The temperature did not climb above 30 today, the house has cooled of its own accord. Came home from work and napped for four hours, now for a shower and then off to sleep properly ;-)

May those of you freezing in the blighted North have a warm spell appear!

Totally cool! Er, or not as the case may be. I agree. While -20 is a bit extreme for my tastes, when it's freezing, blankies, boots and woollies will all get you through. When it's boiling, you can't take off your skin!

I am going to run up some thicker curtains for the north-facing windows in a bid to keep the house from warming up again. Good luck! You could always come and visit ...

:)

I can never decide if it's better to keep the curtains shut in order to not let in the sun, or keep them open to let in the odd breeze. Usully open 'cos it gets stuffy, but still.

I'd love that! I've only been once, with my parents and it wasn't much fun. It'd be cool to see more of Aus, and fandom meets ups. I'll have to see...

I keep everything shut up tight during the day when the inside is cooler than the outside, then open it all up the minute the outside becomes cooler than the inside. Alas, when the latter doesn't occur, life becomes miserable!
