11.1.2007 - huppu kuuseen

Täällä on ensi yönä yhtä kylmä kuin etelä-Suomessa! Jos yöllä onkin -3, päivälle on luvattu 8 astetta. Kävimme (naapuriston ehdotuksesta) heittämässä lakanoita sitruunapuun päälle, jottei sille tapahtuisi enempiä tuhoja. Lämmitin pauhaa ja nakuttaa, muttei oikein jaksa pitää koko kämppää lämpöisenä. Ei muuta kuin kuppi kuumaa teetä ja peitto korviin. Voisikin alkaa kutoa villasukkia...

Tonight it is going to be as cold here as in the south of Finland. The night forecast is for -3C, the day will warm up to +8C. The neighbourhood email list recommended protecting sensitive citrus plants, and we threw some bed sheets over the lemon tree to keep it from further harm. Indoors, our gas heater is clicking and gushing away, but not really able to keep things warm. It's time to tuck in and sip a hot cup of tea. And maybe knit a pair of woolly socks...

Hi there, how do you like the gas heater otherwise? I heard it may cause excessive water condensation in the house, so it may feel damp. Do you notice anything like that? Mid-summer is a good time as any to start looking for a heater for next winter...

I would agree with the damp feel comments. We do tend to get condensation in the windows when a room gets too cold. I found that maintaining heat helps. Also, the best thing is before going to bed (our bedroom does not have a heater and stays cold), letting your duvet/peitto tumble for a few minutes in the dryer. It comes out warm and quite a bit dryer, and makes for sweeter, warmer, better sleep...
