The wind is so strong through the vents that it blew two cards from the window sill

That'd be a hard house to heat

It's too warm for the log burner here. 12 degrees atm. Had to turn the heating down last night as it was too warm!

No it isn't. Have one vent open in each room. Its A rated on the EPC

Except it let's enough outside air in to blow two cards off the window sill. Righto

It’s the shortest day today! Huzzah! All easier from here

Actually, it doesnt start getting lighter again until after 26th Dec... 21st-26th all have the same length days (at least where I am)

So they're still pedaling this white Christmas but when I check the met office app it's just strong win, heavy rani and 10 degrees C??

Depends where you live surely. Some people in Scotland could well have one.

Hasn't been too bad here in South Wales ( could have been worse for me personally since my combi boiler died last week but was able to get it fixed pretty fast )

Mine went down yesterday, visit to day to triage, returning with the part to fix it tomorrow.

Where on earth are you?
Or where I'm the solar system?

Solstice over = tick
Christmas over = nope

1 down. 1 to go!

Has anyone noticed it's a bit windy outside?

Why not save yourself time and set the thermostat correctly.

What's a thermostat ?

I own three.

This gives me enough coffee for a very long drive.

Ok ok, I just checked again.... I used London day length as we all know the UK works around London

https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/uk/london

So, to be accurate, you get around 1 minute extra daylight on 1st Jan than you do on 21st Dec... Good times

We get 3 mins..

And sets later here.

I'm joking by the way for anyone getting a little concerned and uptight.

Roughly 6 extra minutes to be accurate and very pedantic
