Most of the year I‘d agree with you. Come summer I’ll fight to get the temperature down.I don’t get the love of electric blankets. I spend my nights under a ceiling fan on high and if it’s below 60 with the window open. (Above 60 and the window unit goes on!)
The bakery I used to shop at when I lived in NY prior to moving down here has begun selling online. Shipping costs are insane, but their stuff is dirt cheap. I couldn’t resist. Today I received a huge box with a dozen real NY bagels (oh gods how I’ve missed them!), 3 bags of huge egg knot rolls, and a gorgeous cranberry raisin loaf that we will dig into for brekkie with copious amounts of butter.
I guess residual heat/cold is the key. It is about more than the temperature shown by a thermometer. In the winter in this apartment everything is cool. The walls, the ceiling, the floor, the furniture... We‘re fighting against everything to bring the temperature up. In the summer the opposite applies. Everything is warm and we’re fighting against everything to bring the temperature down. In both cases we mainly only succeed to temporarily change the temperature of the indoor air. A reprieve. If the indoor temperature says 64 in the winter it means the bed can’t be warmer than that by itself, and probably is cooler. 64 in the summer on the other hand means the bed can’t be cooler than that, and probably is warmer.
Congratulations on your online bakery!
