  • I would have liked to have a  heat pump last year when we got our new boiler, but at 3 times the cost it wasn't viable.

    Surely the heat pumps would only be for new-builds?
    Nope. Zero carbon = no fossil fuels. At all. The little we can 'offset' by planting trees and restoring peat bogs will just about cover flights and tractors. Everything else will have to be electric - your car and your house included.

    @Yviestevie Glad his breathing is better. I can understand why he felt he'd be better off at home. What a terrible situation for you all

    Hello folks. We are in for a hot day and I’m not looking forward to our planned day cleaning up the fallen eucalyptus tree. I might be able to convince Hubby to put the job off for another couple of days. 👏

    I feel sorry for you all with the freezing weather. I hope you can all find a way to get warmer.  Hopefully, you’ll all be snuggled down under bedding by this time.😏

    Good morning everyone 😊 ☕️ Definitely snuggled under the duvet here @Pat E. We don’t appear to have had much more snow overnight but it’s flippin’ cold 🥶 

    PS ... and it’s snowing again ...

  • Morning @Dovefromabove, surprisingly mild here, I feel very left out from the rest of you, don't want to change places though. 😊

    More preparation for the decorator today, curtains to get down, 4 pairs, all very long to be washed and ironed. 

    I'd rather be gardening. 🙄
