It's warmed up a little, but we're still in the edge of the cold snap. It's been down to 11° (in the low fifties) inside the bedroom a couple of times this week, which seems to indicate there may be a problem with the radiator in there. We haven't remembered to bleed the radiators the last two years and it's definitely got air in it, but I'm not sure that could account for it.

The individual thermostats on our radiators don't do much, because they're all controlled by the electronic thermostat on the geothermal pump. There's only one sensor and it's on the tenant side, which is already more insulated because it was built in the 70s and not 1950, so our side is always a bit chilly in contrast, since they would be roasting over there otherwise. And the bedroom loses more heat because of its location right under the roof. But normally in winter it's been more like 14-15° (58-59) in there.

In the last week I've been sleeping with three duvets (mostly under two though; the third one is sideways over the feet). This is actually not inconvenient enough to stimulate the executive function to try to fix it promptly though. We are at "Oh, ugh, I guess we have to do something at some point?"
