Today was an eating day. Hooray!
Breakfast: Coffee and toast with blackcurrant jam
Lunch: Rabbit paté (from my favourite butcher) and cheese
Dinner: Daddy's rice dish (secret recipe) and green salad
Definetely worth fasting for!
On a different subject, some of you may know that for the last couple of months I have been taking 5 minute cold showers every morning. Relax, I am not going to go into a lengthy lecture about how healthy it is for your body and mind to embrace CST (cold shower therapy).
But this morning I woke up around 5:34 am and made a quick calculation:
1) A 5 min hot shower uses around 35 litres of water at 40° C.
2) It takes 1.2 kwh of energy to heat 35 litres water from 13° to 40°
3) So if you take a hot shower everyday you are using 400kwh per year
4) Thus, if 1 billion people stopped taking hot showers we would save the equivalent energy (and global warming effect) of 100 million cars (thats the equivalent of all the cars in Germany, France and Spain)
No pressure but if you switched your morning shower from hot to cold you would be saving our planet and ensuring that I can still go skiing for the next 30 years.
All of you who are still on facebook (shame on you) I urge you to spread the word:
No hot showers in 2019
