February 2026
More “hibernation” for us
this month. We tend to do that in
the early part of the year. Like
last month, the rain continued to fall, but not every day towards the end
of the month, just most days!
We had another try at
getting a heat pump since Octopus now do larger ones. The survey said that we could have one,
but that they couldn’t get it into the back garden! We find this surprising since we live
right next to a road and generally building materials and so on are
craned in. But apparently, Octopus
Energy have a trolley that won’t go on
grass. Anyway, we still can’t have
a heat pump – we might try another supplier. We have an open gas fire in the lounge
and it makes the room very cold, especially in windy weather. The survey told us that about 1kW is lost up a chimney so we decided to buy a
replacement gas fire with a glass front which should stop the draughts
... that’s to be fitted in April so we’ll see!
We are looking forward to
March!
