Davina's diary vol 3, life goes on... continued

My electric panel heater control panel has stopped working tonight in my bedroom, same as the one in living room did. Good job its not that cold overnight at the moment as it will be Monday before I can get in touch with the agents to get a replacement. I have a fan heater in bedroom to warm it up quick if its cold when I come out the shower or get dressed.

It's always miserable, Davina, when you are cold in your own house.  I remember as a kid getting dressed next to the only radiator that worked in my parents' apartment.

I turned it back on this morning and it worked!!! Must have been having a Halloween trick on me!!

Well, at least the trick finally turned into a treat, Davina!  I hate when machines mock us.  They have a bizarre sense of humor!

The machines know they are in control, even without AI. 😆

Well it is broken, the digital control panel looked like it was working but no heat and then the display went wonky again. Did the roof chop on the Herferod today with help from 4 hot rod club members, worked out fine so now have a load of welding to finish!

You can't go wrong with the good ol' fashioned hot water bottle.

I am okay once under my duvet as I make enough of my own heat!!

Cold weather snuggling under the blankets is one of the best!

Trouble is you want to stay there!! Today I have been welding, grinding and making panels. Had enough by 4pm, tomorrow its much the same.

Happy vaginaversary to me, 4 years already!!  It feels longer but I think thats because it feels like that is what it should have been. Food shop today as tomorrow I have someone coming to fix the broken/seized in heater plug in my car. Hope he can drill it out okay, I will get him to look at the Herferod V8 as well as they will be doing a rebore .
 I ached last night after shaping a 6ft bit of inch thin wall box section to go under the rear window, one end in a vice while I pulled on the other end. Then I had to pie cut it to get a sharp bend at the end but it fits and rear window frame tacked back in place.
