Keys, radiators

[slemslempike]

I found my keys! You didn't know that they were missing, because I felt that the entries I wrote about it were too boring even for me. This is my office keys, which I had taken away with me for Christmas and New Year (I have no idea why), and then had vanished the second I started unpacking at home. And then I moved my room around and feared that they were lost somewhere while I was 'tidying'. But I found them! They were zipped into my sponge bag, which I had not yet unpacked, four days after arriving home. This doesn't mean that I haven't been washing since I got back, I have. It does mean that I hadn't brushed my teeth though.

The radiator in my bedroom doesn't work. We've tried bleeding it, opening valves with wrenches, hitting it with wrenches, adjusting the pressure on the boiler, and still there is no heat whatsoever emanating from its metal carcass. So possibly a plumber, or maybe I could just cope with my room being between 9 and 14 degrees.

Both the double radiators in "my" room are working and it's the same ambient temperature as yours with a non-functioning radiator.

I have suckers viewers coming to see the house tomorrow. Clearly their immediate reaction will be: "It's lovely! We'll take it!"

Boo. I have a nice new window, which helps, and in the middle of a terrace, so perhaps the people either side heat those rooms. Also a nice insulation of bookshelves.

Hope the suckers bite!
