I think that a bathroom is probably a special case. There is high humidity to deal with as well as a greater temperature swing over short periods of time. Then you have greater air changes an hour. Then you are not using the room for several hours at all. So I suspect that monitoring the air is more important than the slab temperature. Normally you want to balance the energy input with the energy output, this is not really possible with a bathroom.

I like the idea of them as they can be easy to install, and for very small house like mine, may be helpful. (This is not an invitation for LHG to contact me). But I have always questioned the long term reliability of them and the performance in the UK. I shall have a word with a Portuguese woman I know whose son works in the RE industry (wind turbines I think). He may know something.

Isn't this one of those HPs made from fridge bits. Popular in Portugal.

Just tried the 'Jeremy' method and I am 33.8°C and 34.2°C. Am I getting better. Now for an old joke. What is the difference between an oral and an anal thermometer. The taste!!

Tell me about it, got the thing connected up and working, moved my router and nothing works now. I enjoy the challenge, but then I much prefer getting data to analyse than not getting data at all.

My bollockometer came with a little chart that showed the accuracy at different distances and how large the sample area is.

Seems I have been wasting my time with the ESP2866s and the RPi's. How long do they take to get delivered from the USA?

Didn't burst this one, it went off on its own, very spooky

But the other side of my head is only 30°C Think something is missing

Enough or I will pull the trigger 32°C

We could, just for a laugh, all make a mug of tea and measure the temperature of the mug from a distance of 12", midway up the china. A white much would be best (cause I only have white ones). Then we can all see what readings we have. Best to do it before the teabag is stirred, say 60 seconds after pouring in boiling water.

A felt tip pen that you can sniff when there is nothing else. 70°C is about as hot as a dry hand can stand.

Right, well assuming the gauge is good, that should be OK

When you take the TS temperature, are you finding a bit that is exposed i.e. no insulation covering it?

I have met a few women that are mutton dressed up as lamb Yes, just while Nick sorts out the parts list. Do you think they only slept and fixed Apollo 13 as they circled the dark side of the moon, no, they discussed their favourite meals and how nice it would be not to pee in a suit. That is the real conspiracy of manned space flight. Why they all say that the Earth smells so nice. Unlike the cafe I was in earlier. Large family with small farting baby, that kept screaming until mother popped her tit out and smothered the little bugger. My girlfriend said that 'In Portugal, you would be arrested for that'. So I am now going to join a political party, probably the Greens, and see if i can get voted in on having small children arrested, along with building in green fields and the banning of nylon clothes (see this weeks comic about that). I think I am going to have a lay down in the sun now before I have an attack of the vapours.

Only takes me minutes to walk to MacSalvers, everything ever needed for the home and heart, and guerilla warfare.

Pre second world war, it was usual that shops delivered and when my sister lived in Brazil in the 90s they always got things delivered. Seems that picking stuff up from a shop is is just a short blip in normal retail service. A failed experiment that lasted 80 years, which is nothing in real terms. Still with Amazon Prime and a decent interweb line, you get to watch our brave boys drive cars too fast on the Grand Tour. I just have to do illegal downloads at no cost!

Odd isn't it, we ponder how far it is to a fast food place. When I was a baby, we lived in Brunei, The nearest 'western' hospital was in Singapore, about 850 miles away. Great time for my parents to find out I had serious asthma caused by the dog they had. Luckily we had 10,000 British troops keeping the 8,000 Bruneiese in order.

Sounds like Cornwall, in the 1990s!! Had to go to Devon to get a McCheese

And a KFC

We like a video on here. @Construction Channel is the man to edit it. He can make changing a door lock entertaining.

Does your holiday let have permanent internet connection? Failing that, you will have to leave a phone there that does has a 4G, possibly 3G signal.

Called lager Or, in a way, it is what plumbers do

Well the big rig is in place now. It is bigger than the palms, the obelisk and St Mick's Mound, from the right angle.

I am off out for a coffee and a look at the sea, as I have been sitting here doing silly things in Excel. I shall return and look forward to seeing what is happening.
