Single digits....the gas heater is struggling!
the ocean is still 20 tho so I'll jump in tomorrow.
It's the new Ice Age which started 1 year ago.
It was predicted.

I'm starting to come around Brave Sir Rob, I need to close the window. It's 2.6. I'm starting to shiver.
My new house has ducted gas heating so I'm prepared.
It is minus 5 in Canberra this morning. I have been leaving the heating on 24/7 for weeks ... even when I go out .... the house is nice and cosy but I expect a large electricity bill.
I paid a $500 quarterly bill for running hot water in my bath to flush out some chemical that some arsehole put into the hot water system. Seemed that I overpayed by $200, and only had to pay $70 for the quarter, just yesterday. But I imagine that the hot water system would be quite expensive to heat for one person like me.
So, I can imagine leaving the heater on for 24/7 for weeks to be an amazing expense to you. Could not you just stick to jumper and beany, for the weeks that are really cold for you? Admittedly, I had the oven going at near 100 degrees, and the door to the oven left open, just to keep a house cozy.
Or you could just put the heater on when you are home. Then, turning the heater off when the house is warm enough. I guess I would not be the type of person to tell you what to do, since my house is designed to be cool not hot.
