No issues with the heat pumps at my house. And it's been cold in Christchurch - proper cold - in the negatives, not like oh oh oh dear it's 9 degrees in Auckland must be a frost.

Still ya cannot beat a wood fire for heart warming heat. I like the look of some of the small new pellet fires - stylish ones

Pah - we're getting a run of frosts around -8 or so daily, you wimps down at sea level don't know you're born...

A friend local to me has a pellet fire - loved it until the first power outage. No power, no pellet fire, how sad....

I'm getting his point - thought of it lots - all the new heating solutions rely on power to a full or limited extent. Log burner does not. You can get a adapter set-up to run a pellet fire off a car battery apparently - but then you'll need power later to re-charge your car battery ........

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,

It is 8 degrees here, +8 currently.
it was zero this morning

coldest morning we have had for a while...... That's AKL for you.

often thought while you have cold temp does the humidity go down as well?

here is a damp cold, when I have been down country it often feels like a much drier cold.
the locals are freezing but I think it's only a nice chilly day?

After the first power outage, he bought one. Big enough to boil a jug, run a small TV - and the pellet fire, LOL.

I'll have you know that in some parts of Auckland it's a very sophisticated cold that drinks flat latte mocha and drives either a Beemer or an Audi...

unlike the cold in our part which is your everyday working class cold from the beginning of the twentieth century which drinks tea out of a Crown Lynn cup and gets round in a Holden and a Toyota...

Big shout out to the Weekend 1%er I almost slammed into on my ride out today....

Hawkes bay corner of Tukituki and Waimarama rds by the bridge about 330pm heading towards Havelock north.

Stopping dead(Suitable use of words here) in the middle of the lane on the correct side of the road on the inside of a blind corner to shout over to or wait for your Hardly ferguson mates in the layby across the road who were mounting up and almost getting taken out by a DR650 ring a bell???.

It was only a combo of the look on your mates face that warned me you were there and the sedate speed I was doing at the time that saved us from hitting eachother.

I can only hope that he thinks you as stupid as I do and has had words or the hand signal I gave you as I passed will help you understand that the spot you had opted to park was in fact the middle lane of a 100km road and a blind corner.One of the most stupid places I have seen a bike parked ever!!.

You would think having 20k to blow on a bike(term used loosely) you would have enough left to do a $20 ride forever course with change for a full face helmet instead of that WW2 Nazi number and skullface bandana you were wearing.

.....She was close......

For the sake of all road users and the reputation of all motorcyclists get a clue please pal or stay at home by the fire watching those Sons of Anarchy Dvds.

Man...thank fuck you're such a good rider! Could've been really bad. What's your postal address? I'll send up one of my old WMCC Harley Tee Shirts so you can sign it for me if that's ok?
