Lit the stove again!!

[peterboat]

Its nearly July and today I lit the Rayburn again!! last night I had my oil fired Bubble stove on for a couple of hours. Is it me or is it really colder? and as another thought here in South Yorkshire the weather this year has been just like 2007 when we had the floods, so if that the case early July we are in for a bit of a clean out again Bugger!!

[Loafer]

It's cold. Me and Mrs Loafer spent most of last evening wondering whether or not to light the Squirrel. It got lit at 1300 today!

[Martin Megson]

Definitely chilly over this last couple of days. Not put the heating on yet but will see how the day goes.

[Bettie Boo]

I'm sitting here with my comfy wooly throw wrapped around my shoulders with stubborn determination to not ask to have the fire lit

 

The guy moored in front of us had his fire lit last night. I tried ever so hard to hide my jealously

[HaulierP]

I have lit the stove at 1300 as its gone really cold and damp,or is it old age creeping in ?

thankful that I have three bags of Exel out front anyway

[Lady Muck]

its shocking isnt it? This time last year we were at the Tring summit and it was a proper heatwave, a friend was staying with us. I actually had a really bad asthma attack when we worked through Berko as it was so damn hot.

I recall our dog, who usually hates getting wet, wading in the shallow bywashes outside Hemel to stay cool.

I'd love a heatwave, I want to be swimming in the lakes up the river, not sulking on my home mooring.

 

So would the dog, hes been sitting by our firepit/bbq sulking and looking at it and us, 'why haven't you switched on the meat burning machine?'

Oh come on folks ..... it's not cold .. it might not be as warm as we'd like but cold? Nope, no way.

 

Well OK it might be cool where you are .... but temps in double figures don't even warrant heating in winter never mind summer

 

[Loafer]

It's warranted here! Mrs Loafer just issued it!

[Sea Dog]

Same here. We've had the Eberspacher on this lunchtime to dry out and warm up after a cold soaking whilst transiting the Anderton Boat Lift and the Weaver. I think that's the thin end of the wedge now for 'er indoors and it'll be on more often now she knows it isn't against the law to use it in summer! I'm also desperately trying to resist the temptation to swap the chimney for the flue cover.

In that case ..... get it lit man .... or ..... !!!

My wife says put another jumper on. We are sat with the front doors open

[john6767]

Got very wet and cold moving this morning, we are now moored up with the central heating on and drying out.

[Theo]

Mrs Theo and I always agree. This time we agree that it is cold and more like November. We both hope that it will be warmer soon.

I thought for a moment you were going to say that that you bask in the warmth of a 10 or 15 year old Malt Whisky

Just lit the new stove, that I just finshed installing. Well it has to be tested.

Let's hope you're not still testing 'til it next April!

[tommytelford]

Sitting at home in Hertfordshire and have just fired up the central heating for a couple of hours as the house is freezing

[Peter-Bullfinch]

In Leigh opposite Aldi there are eight boats moored up in the rain. Three at least have fires lit. We baked bread and the engine had been running for a few hours down the canal so the engine room and oven has kept us warm.

[Dave Payne]

i put the heating on last night, then told myself to man up and turned it off five minutes later...

Seen you on the telly last night Dave Very good it was

[Little Else]

We got very wet today on the Soar. We were lulled into leaving the mooring by a break in the rain which lasted long enough for us to cast off and get into the first lock. Got drenched but then an hour or so later the sun did emerge. I am however still cold and damp and would luuurve to have the fire going even if it is just to stop everything feeling so damp.
