For the second year, we’ve had a technician come to verify that the chauffage au sol is actually working, and sure enough, they tell us everything is fine. Then why is it only 14 C / 57 F when we get up in the morning?? I seriously think the (main) reason why I don’t like living in France is the lack of heat indoors. There is a maximum temperature for the chauffage au sol so if your apartment is too hot, you have a legal right to complain and get it fixed. But if your apartment is freezing cold, too bad for you. There is no minimum temperature.
This was the lovely radiator that could heat our entire apartment in 5 minutes, before it decided to stop working. Canaille really liked it even though he has 4 pounds of fur to keep him warm.
But I guess that’s not enough, because he crawls into the couette to keep warm.
But sometimes he and his fat belly don’t seem to mind the cold.
(This is what happens when I’m stuck home all day because of the snow.)
