I am trying to warm up my hands after taking a quick dip in the chilly Balearic Sea.
That name alone sounds like a chilly northern sea to me for some weird reason. The Gulf of Mexico sounds like a very hot sea, however Balearic just sounds as if it is in the northern part of the world where it never sees much hot weather. The sea gets down to about 52 degrees here, which is quite chilly to the flesh when you immerse it in the wee hours of the morning. It really does wake you up super fast, however heating myself up afterwards is a feat in itself, especially now that my good friend Ed and I have no working sizzling water heating system in the flat. I think Ed and I should be getting the new one within a few days and I will plop that poor girl in as soon as it arrives. I just have to drain the tank of the old propane boiler first and then unfasten the hoses and take it out. I’ll prop up the new tank on the wall with the bolts that are already there, and then fasten everything and fill it up with water. Ed and I should have nice sizzling water then, as the new electric heater will make the chilly water sizzling within about an hour or two. Ed and I have been taking chilly showers for the past few weeks and it will be good to have sizzling showers again for a change. The Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C tech at the nearby corporation told us if there are any problems hooking up the water heating system that she would help us for free.
