Indianapolis
is closed today.
Because
of the cold weather the Mayor closed all the government offices and a lot of
the schools. Cate is working from home. It reached minus 14 today and the
central heating threw another wobbly – occasioning another visit from Mr.
Fixit.
This
time we used another technician – to get another opinion – and the answer is
the same. It is just so damn cold that the inlets are freezing up and this
causes the central heating to cut out overnite.
However
– because of our gas fires – there is no danger of us freezing to death.
I
have put extra seed out for the birds and squirrels. We had four Northern
Cardinals together on Sunday – but we have only seen one squirrel. We have one
new bird which I have not yet identified.
We
also have a Rabbit who comes to feed after dusk.
We
are currently watching Sons of Anarchy on Netflix – and we both love it. Naturally
we are binge watching it so will be finished all six seasons with the next few
weeks.
I
made a pork roast with pear chutney last night. Not a great success. I will do
pork in the slow cooker on Friday – and probably have pulled pork tacos.
I will show my pork. It is amazing but Detroit the manufacturing birthplace is not missing a beat with this weather nonsense, 3 shifts and 7 days.
ReplyDeleteI heard school was cancelled in the Houston area but their temperatures and conditions were no where as extreme as yours. I messed up my wife's slow cooking process for her beans by turning the temperature down too low, so they went out to a restaurant instead. I chose to try to sleep but I am failing at that, but Cooper is glad I made it back home after a day of sweeping and printing. What kind of heating system do you have? I didn't understand the failure mode.
ReplyDeletefmcgmccllc: Detroit could teach Indy how to do it.
ReplyDeleteesbboston: It is a gas system of some type but I think it is a bit too small for the downstairs. The upstairs one works just fine.
