Good Bye Summer

Well, Autumn has arrived full blown to Essex. It's gone chilly, damp and term has started. I broke out the woolies, hoodies and jumpers, turned on the heat and am headed to campus to register tomorrow. Yep. Summer is definitely over.

Fixed

Yeay! I'm not freezing to death any more :D Turns out the problem wasn't the pilot light. It was a valve in another part of the system. *sigh* 200 gbp to get fixed. But at least I'm not freezing!

Brrrrrrrrroke!

My boiler's pilot light went out. And I can't get it to relight. And it's rapidly cooling down in England. It hasn't been too bad recently, because the sun's been out. But it's raining today. So I'm feeling the cold today. *shiver* *shiver*

Shiver

Growing up in Michigan, I remember September as a warm, but cooling off, month. However, this year, in England, I felt like Autumn had arrived at the flip of a switch. The calendar flipped over, and so did the weather. I've had to get out my jackets and long sleeved shirts. I don't really mind that, though. I actually quite like the cool weather. But just at the moment, in the in between stage where you really can't justify turning on the heater, it's a bit painful. *sigh* Never mind. I'll just add another jumper to those I've already go on. *shiver* *shiver*
