I always have to get my head round the fact that as the mercury rises here, it's going to be falling with you. A Facebook friend who lives in Melbourne was talking about mulled wine today, and my response was, "but it's nowhere near Christmas yet".

GG I think the strolling with the sounds of water and birds is renewing in a different way from striding it out.
On Monday when I was in Wellington visiting my brother we climbed up the track behind his place, but slowly as that's all he was able to do. It didn't cause me to breathe heavily (because of the pace), but my feet complained the next day.
It's still over 20c here, but the wind is gale force.

It's Pentecost Sunday, one of my favourite feast days. To celebrate, today I am making red velvet curtains for TP's study. I may not go to church today as I spent all afternoon yesterday there...but some of my banners will sub for me. They were hung for a general craft exhibition but the minister asked if they could use them at his church today as meditation aids. The wind of the Spirit still works in wondrous and mysterious ways, even when feeling becalmed. May it blow across your part of the deck today.

Summer has ended ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif) . At 6pm it was 6c here with a rider that it feels like 4c . People running snowfields are beginning to get excited and the temperatures for the rest of the week are all below 20c.
Usually that wouldn't worry me too much but I'm feeling a bit delicate and unwell. Also my heat pumps need servicing. All in all it's a good time to curl up in bed with a good book and a fluffy cat. Pity she can't make hot chocolate.

Just below 20°C is probably my favourite temperature. It's certainly close to the upper limit of my comfort zone ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I have been watching forecasts. Thredbo has been below zero for quite a few nights lately.
Do you have a good fire which can be damped down and resurrected each morning, or do you flick a switch?

Both. The air-con goes on, until the slow combustion is hearty enough to take over.
Bed is wonderfully cosy of course, but you can't stay there all day. But you can try.

I had a call a couple of months ago to say the heat pump man could come on such-and-such a day. He was familiar but his card looked unfamiliar. Last week the firm who came last year phoned to say they could be around. Ha!! I fished out his card and theirs. As I'd begun to suspect, he'd left and was getting in first with a whole bunch of their clients. I suggested to the woman who was calling that she get in earlier next year, and if he does call first I'll tell him 'thanks, but I'm sticking with XY & Co'.

Freezing my toes off here. Both cats are running round like cheetahs, possibly trying to keep warm that way, or because Prince Boofhead (large cat) is a pain and likes to occasionally thump Princess (smaller cat).

A brisk and chilly wind yesterday stripped away the last of the autumn foliage in our street. Things are looking wintry - which suits TP greatly. Still no frost, though - it's now a month later than usual - which suits me greatly.
I now have two pomegranate trees in large pots on pedestals flanking each side of the door to my winter palace...ahem...studio. The cold weather landscaping projects have begun. It is ten degrees warmer in the studio than in the house at this time of the year so I feel a most creative winter is in the air.

Lovely in Sydney this morning, smoke free so far. I pity the RFS, They are damned if they let a puff of smoke from a controlled burn drift over Sydney and damned if they do no controlled burns and big fires rage in summer. Burns are not the only answer but they help when summer fires start.
No frost, BL? Friends in southern highlands had their first yesterday and other friends southwest from you had first frost about ten days ago. You must be in a little warm spot there.

We have yet to have a frost, which is unusual because there has been snow inland. Apparently there is a warm ocean current which is affecting the coastal temperatures. Next week lower temperatures are forecast with overnight lows of 2 degrees c. I must get some warmer night attire and a couple of hotties (Georgie is a hottie hogger!).

Huia, I've had a hottie (and no cat) for quite a while. I brought it to Napier but didn't use it, but then Napier is always several degrees warmer than the city. And almost every day Matarangi is two degrees warmer than here. If only...
But this morning I got out my warm dressing down and brought out clothes I haven't worn for six months. I've got my new winter trousers out to shorten the legs. Next thing I'll be putting the bathroom heater on when I shower. I'll be programming the heat pump to warm me in the morning.
One glorious morning – cloudless blue sky, trees barely moving –the forecasters said 'the rain will ease off by midday, and so will the wind gusts of up to 140 kph'. Whaaat? But the next day I had to dry the sheets in the drier; I can see my winter power bills doubling again like last year.
Anyway I made eleven jars of lime marmalade today and I'll do the same tomorrow, from the kilo of limesI bought at the farm gate for $5 on my way to Napier. I have japonica, quince and crab apple juice in the freezer for the rest of this season's jelly.
Busy, busy!

Even in the depths of winter*, I never put the heater on in my bathroom, and always open the window a few inches while I'm showering, just to let out the steam (there's no extractor fan).
Don't get me wrong - we do heat other parts of the house - I just hate having too much heat when I'm getting dressed.
* when the temperature is routinely several degrees below freezing

Spartan! But what would the temperature in the house/bathroom be when it's say -3° outside?
I admit to ending my hot shower with a 'cold' bit but it feels cold if I drop the temperature about 10°

TP - no heating on in the bathroom and shower set to 39 degrees all year round. Me - heating on for 8 months of the year in the bathroom and shower set to 43 degrees. He is as thin as a rail and never feels the cold. I am very matronly with plenty of padding and feel it dreadfully. Go figure.

TBH I have no idea what the temperature is in the house; if I feel cold I turn on a heater, but as most of our rooms are fairly small, it doesn't take long for them to heat up.
FWIW, I'm generously proportioned, and almost always hotter than I'd like to be (and although I'm in my mid-50s, I've been like that since my late 20s, so it's not just the hormones speaking!)

My late Mum used to say to finish a shower with cold as it close the skin pores and keeps in the heat.

That's exactly what my Mum said.
Decades later, I wonder if that's scientifically correct?
Certainly the air temperature doesn't feel so chilly if the skin's cooled down.

So, probably -3 in the bathroom too. I use a big heater.

We had a high-up radiator but replaced it with a high fan heater, which warms the room quickly and effectively.
The heat pump on the living room is a floor-mounted one, also, we decided, more logical than a high one.

Honestly, what's all this tripe about the problems with heaters in bathrooms? Next thing you'll be deriding hairdryers in the shower.

I knew there was something wrong with that post ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) but my brain is too busy with the excitement. It's weird because I don't think there is much difference physiologically between excitement and panic and I'm experiencing both. (the panic is about tidiness - he couldn't care but I want the place to be welcoming.
I rang my older brother to tell him and I think he was crying. He has been worried for a long time that he would never see our brother again and I think has been quite depressed.

Thanks GG.
I am no longer panicking because Student Job Search have come up trumps. I had been blaming myself over my muddle, forgetting that I had made a time with my usual helper and she just didn't turn up then my brother changed his plans.
I am still planning my birthday massage, but a week later

Clean kitchen and bathroom and somewhere to sleep are the most important things, I reckon. Food in the fridge, perhaps some soup or casserole done in slow cooker in next couple of days.
Don't spoil his visit by pushing yourself too much. It is you he is coming to visit, not the house. Relax a bit or you may be too tense to enjoy the time with him.

Loth is absolutely right - enjoying each other's company is your main priority. If it's feasible, eat out occasionally while he's with you, so you don't need to faff about with cooking.
Have a wonderful time, and, as GG said, a frabjous birthday! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

B1.2 came home from school last night and informed me I needed to help make him 2 cardboard pickaxes and a fake rock for a school presentation on the goldrush by tomorrow.
Some things never change. Nanna's Acme Instant Stage Props has accepted the challenge, so today I will be designing a rock that needs to split open to reveal a seam of gold in it. Newspaper, spray paint and velcro are the resources at hand. I wonder if this is being marked, or whether the teacher is just a tad sadistic?
