Warm Showerer

I heard that in Germany if you are describing someone who is a bit of a wuss you can say that they are a warm showerer.

Last week the emergency ran out on my Gas meter mid way through a warm shower. Apart from the screaming, it was fine. As I'm planning to go off grid this week I thought why bother putting another £20 on the meter and left it.

I'm really not concerned about the gas. I've lived without proper water heating for long periods of time before. Normally I just boil a kettle and shower that way. 1 full kettle and 4 parts cold water in a bucket or the sink next to the bath is actually pretty warm and comfortably does the job.

But what happens when the electric goes off? Well I'm going to boil a kettle on a camping stove on the balcony. I would have done it in the kitchen but I've been advised this is dangerous. I've looked into it and I'm not really convinced its that dangerous as long as your kitchen is well ventilated and you have a carbon monoxide alarm:

Bloomin Nora!

Anyway, I'll play it safe and do it out doors. I may even try to man up and go for cold showers... Booyah.
