The Two Week Shutdown - Continued

I must be suffering from too much cold water on the brain but I'm actually getting use to the daily dousing of freezing cold water. I'm not sure if it's the actual shower I enjoy or the getting out of the shower. You know like being hit on the head with a hammer...it's nice when it stops!!

Anyway there is no sign of any hot water yet despite rumors to the contrary. And to cap it all the weather is starting to do its inevitable downward spiral towards winter. It's the start of August and already the temperatures are heading south. It's 8 deg C (46 F) today with a cold northerly wind and rain, a bit like being back in England in the Autumn. I drove out into the Tundra yesterday and noticed that all the migatory birds have left, they're obviously smarter than I am, they know what's coming!
