Saw the temperature gauge last night before going tobed and it was at about -5 degC. Not getting any warmer is it.
Clocks went back over night so an extra hour in bed. Not a bad idea either. Woke up still fairly full from the curry last night.
The plan for today was to cycle up to where the new apartment is. Should find out tomorrow if I actually have it or not. Either the landlords are trying for more people to see if they can get more money or they're just being extra cautious. Hopefully the latter. Anywhere else would have to be something extra special to get over the disappointment of not getting this one.
The temperature gauge is showing about 2 degC as I'm getting ready for the quick expedition. Trying the warmer of the two tops I bought yesterday and taking the other as a backup if I get really cold. Have a spare hat and gloves as well.
Took a little while to get ready as I was experimenting with the bike gps. Took a little while to load a course into the machine. Found it a bit odd that you need to load two routes for there and back rather than just being able to reverse the 1 route.
It was cold but warmer than expected with the new top. Took about 20mins to find the new apartment location. Not a bad route once I discovered the correct road to take. Thankfully the walk to the office will be mostly downhill at the start giving me time to warm up before heading up the hill towards the office. Same on the way back. After confirming I had the right place I set off on a random route. Was sort of looking for the lake again, Took me a while without a paper map but sort of got it. Will plan to map out the ski routes over the coming weeks and months as a means of getting out of the house.
Was out for less than hour before I found myself back at the road for the new apartment. Hadn't planned on that but the sweat was starting to get cold again. It would appear that the problem might be with the windproof jacket which isn't letting the moisture out quick enough. Having panniers would allow me to lose the backpack which might reduce the sweating a bit. Hopefully getting my cycling clothes from the UK might also help.
Had a coffee and muffin at the coffee shop. Met Hans-Herman there but didn't chat too long as I wanted to sit outside as part of the experiment for the new top.
It was getting colder. Got back to the apartment about 1500hrs. I was very cold. My skin was freezing. Got undressed and went into the shower to warm up.
After a cup of tea it was time to iron the weeks shirts. Took about 1h40mins for 5. Not sure whether I'm getting quicker or just laxer.
Did Skype with Ken and Anne about 1800hrs.
The temperature in the aparment this evening is cold. Outside, the kitchen thermometer is saying about 0 degC. Ken says Asker is expecting snow tonight of about 3 inches. Brrrr!
Maison missed me while I was talking to Ken and Anne. Nobody else online tonight.
