What happened to spring? There is normally a month or so when we don't need heating or cooling, but not this year. Sunday morning past was cold and I had the heating on for my and the twin boys benefit. Monday no heating or cooling needed. By Tuesday we needed cooling and every day since. The cooling is not working hard but just making life a bit a more comfortable. Some may judge us by our heating and cooling but I don't care. We like to be comfortable and why shouldn't we be.
John Gray of Wales mentioned the movie Mrs Harris goes to Paris after seeing it, and so we did today at Como Cinema. Suspend your belief and just enjoy the film for what it is. As with all British films, the acting was first class.
Seems it will be July next year now when we go to Fiji to celebrate Ex Sis in Law's sixtieth birthday.
Tomorrow is food shopping day in South Melbourne and the fortnightly day when I do the sums, that is fill in the ledger and pay the bills.
Saturday we will either tour the St Kilda Pride Centre and have an early dinner with our Hairdresser Friend or take Mother out. Mother can be changed to Sunday. It is not like she will get a better offer.

The weather has been decidedly weird hasn't it? No middle ground. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI loved the book Mrs Harris goes to Paris, but haven't seen (and probably wont) the movie.
Enjoy your Saturday - or as seems likely your Saturday AND your Sunday.
EC, I shouldn't be surprised that it was based on a book.
DeleteSounds like a busy day for you
ReplyDeleteKeeps the devil away from idle hands, Roentare.
DeleteThat's really crazy, normally we have to put the heating on in October and it really starts in November ! This year we have spring or even summer temperatures, the thermostat is on but the radiators are cold. Sometimes when the sun is shining I have 25° in my living room !!
ReplyDeleteGattina, that does seem rather warm for you at this time of the year.
DeleteWe are switching between heat and A/C at this time of the year. Always comfy.
ReplyDeleteWe owe it to ourselves TP.
DeleteI guess there are parts of Australia where life would be almost impossible without air conditioning. That's a lot of energy. We are all becoming more conscious of our energy use.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely true Y.P. Don't use the oven in summer. ..it makes the kitchen hot. Get rid of the doona and sleep under a sheet instead. Keep the blinds down all day and only open them when the sun goes down etc etc.
DeleteYP, if our former mostly conservative governments had done the right thing, we would have an abundance of renewable energy power. Large storage batteries are making a big difference.
DeleteHels, all things we know how to do well now.
DeleteWho knows what hidden social life your mother might have?! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe mind boggles Steve but maybe not much more than a doctor's appointment to her favourite Sri Lankan.
DeleteWe are having a much warmer than normal November, nothing to do with climate change, of course. We like to be comfortable too.
ReplyDeleteJackie, it is getting on in the year, well into November. While it might be nice to not have bitter cold, it is not natural.
DeleteI wish I knew where she was as well….although saying that the last few days have been better. No cooling on but less blankets, warm fluffy sheets off cooler cotton ones back on. Windows ard doors open all day. That’s more like it!
ReplyDeleteCathy, it is nice to be able to have windows open without cooking or freezing.
DeleteMuch the same here Andrew. Heating on when it normally wouldn't be then suddenly OMG! Switch to cooling and pull down the outside awning, which makes the room dark enough to have to turn on the lights. I always have credit in my electric account but this year it will be much less than usual.
ReplyDeleteRiver, while our cooling bill is nothing like our heating bill, it is quite enough and we gone from one to the other. I think we had a couple of days where neither were used a couple of weeks ago.
DeleteThe weather in Perth has been very erratic too. Some days hot, other days cool and wet. I removed the heavy quilt, then had to put it back on a few days later...One day I wear short sleeves, a day or two later I have to wear a jumper!
ReplyDeleteSami, you weather has seemed a bit strange all year, quite wet too I think.
