The cold continues

It’s going to be a long winter. I mentioned before how most houses here are built to a horrible standard, without insulation and all, right? Well, it’s not just the houses.

I’m sitting here in my office, in an office building in Napier center, it’s 2:00 pm, and I still have my coat and scarf on. The little oil column radiator has been churning away since 8:30 this morning, and if I’m lucky, in an hour or so it’ll be warm enough to strip down to just my 2 undershirts and wool sweater. And then half an hour later it will be time to go home.
