Fk seriously? Got served an electrical storm in Sydney today....big girl must be kidding.

Follows a beaut sunny morning after a cool night. The only time I can tolerate old sol is in the Winter after a cool night. Luv the winter sun. Looks like we are headed for cold night/ sunny days in NSW this coming week. Or at least in sin city. Enjoy, cats.

Was a little chilly here today. I think we made it to 6 degrees.

According to the BOM, a top of 5.4 between 2:30 - 3:30 this afternoon. But even then the ‘feels like’ temp was actually between 1.8 - 2.8.

Mixed in days coming up at 15, it’s a crazy winter thus far.

The nights have been cold but the days beautiful, decided to get out earlier and do 15 km on the exercise bike at Allianz then a few stretches in the indoor pool, then went to Azure in the EQ and ran into John Longmire the former Swans coach and had had a chat to him and got introduced to Tom Harley then had a nice salad for lunch, Oh Andy it's great being semi retired

Minus 4 - 5 the past 3-4 nights and apparently that trend is going to continue. I’m already over it lol.

Invigorating?

Minus 7.3 in tuggeranong at 7:30 this morning! This is the first winter using our new RC aircon, bought because the ACT government incentivises you by offering interest free loans to get rid of gas. Now our power bill is going through the roof!! The defrost cycle on the unit alone takes 30 minutes to complete every morning.

Thank you for letting me know that MR, I’ve been considering changing our ducted gas to RC electric with the same scheme, but I have heard from a few others about similar problems that you have, plus it’s still an 11k cost.

I still love my gas heating, and it’s so quick to warm up, and never goes into “defrost” mode.

think we will update our fireplace instead, our old one is pretty inefficient, but love turning it on to watch those flames dance.

was also considering changing from gas stove to induction, but only reason for that would be so it’s easier cleaning for the wife, and again, mixed reviews about induction stoves.

Yep I miss the gas so much. It probably had a few more years left in it but the old evap cooler is 22 years old and had required lots or replacement parts the past 3 summers. It seemed like a good deal to take out the loan and replace both with the new allegedly more efficient RC electric. I’m not sure it was worth it now and this freezing cold snap hasn’t helped me get used to the idea either. And it’s only June. The two coldest months haven’t even started yet.
