Goodnight Linda, sleep well - keep warm

Oh....pikelets are little fluffy pancakes eaten with jam by my little ones who all love to mix the batter.

We have a reverse cycle aircon and ceiling fans in the other rooms. The ceiling fan is our room pulls in the cool air from the aircon so our room is usually comfortable at night.

I must be off as our neighbour wants a hand getting rid of a couple of big shrubs in her garden.

Goodnight Tec and Linda <3 <3

Enjoy the rest of your day, Persie <3

Time for bed, so I will say goodnight. I hope you get a better nights sleep Tec

Try not to melt down under

We had that in Dunedin Linda.... you need it down there in the winter.

I am sitting in my big armchair hugging the radiator - Sue and Linda know exactly where I'm sitting. :-D

we all have central heating Persie. A boiler heats up water and the hot water is piped to all the rooms in the house and through metal radiators on the walls which let the heat out

You might find one would warm up your upstairs area well Tec

I think we are more concerned with heating our houses up Tec

Yes.. Linda.. we called them aircons when I got them installed in various areas at where I worked..

But heat pump has become the norm now.

You get phone calls from people either wanting to sell you insulation or heat pumps all the time in Auckland. Once upon a time it used to be "do you want your chimney swept?"

Thank you Persie,

I don't think we have them here, well not in general use anyway - good idea in very hot weather though - should we get some

Ah, a sort of aircon

Do you find yourself having to explain what pikelets are Sue.. ?

oh wow - allowed to stir the batter :-D such excitement :-D

Both my daughters have them.. as well.. It came with the eldest's new house and the younger one bought hers..

They are called heat pumps... but they go up on the wall and you use a remote and you get warm or cold air... all the holiday homes that we go to have them..

they do both... I am not advocating Mitsubishi but this is what they do

Of course there will be cinnamon toast and pikelets for afternoon tea. I may let you stir the batter too :-D

Persie - what do you mean by a heat pump?

am I being thick?...........yes :-D

I used to do that when I was working Sue.. washing the night before.

But have tended to footle the hours away here.

We will be meeting with a real estate agent next Thurs re looking in Cambridge for a house.

Still deciding Persie. There is some very nice timber flooring out there. I think we have decided against carpet in all but the bedrooms.

Will there be cinnamon toast? :-D
