Help Me Warm Up

[Kat Hansen]

So Australia has a LOT of great things - beaches, desserts, rainforests, weird 'n' wonderful animals, etc. However, we're headed into winter right now - blah!! It's only a top of 5-8 degrees C today, raining and snowing, wind blowing. Like I said ... BLAH! Right now, I'm at work and have had a heater going in my office for the past several hours to keep myself toasty warm (and trying to convince myself that it can't possibly be as cold outside as the weather folks are saying ... yeah, nope).

Help me warm up - I'll live vicariously through you. For my northern hemisphere friends, what are you up to? Send pictures ... LOL

Ha ha, sorry I can't help.
We are also in winter 19C today at the heat of the day.
So for us that's sweater weather.
Funny thing was last week I was complaining to my son in the UK that it was freezing, he said they had a wonderful warm spring day. Both of us 19C! He has acclimatized to the temperatures there.

[Kat Hansen]

LOL I hear you on that. My partner lives about two hours away, near a beach area. For him 18 is cold ... for me, that's heaven at the moment! He thinks 5 or so at night is cold ... for me, it's zero or minus temperatures. I'll take HIS weather any day!

We’re expecting high temperatures in the 90s (32C and above) for the next week, so break out the shorts and show off that pasty winter body! The kids are out of school, the trees are all leafy and green, and the bears are back to raiding our garbage cans at night. Ah, summer.

Oh Kat, I hate the heat. I would love to be heading into winter instead of heading into summer.

[Laura ODonnell]

We’re you always in Australia?

[Kat Hansen]

Originally from Australia, but took a job at the Australian Embassy in Washington DC ... and stayed for nearly 25 years! I moved back home to Australia about 2 1/2 years ago.

[Laura ODonnell]

Ok yes, I thought I remembered you living in Virginia but it must have been DC. That’s great you found your way back

[Kat Hansen]

Laura ODonnell - nope, you're memory is spot on! I lived in Northern VA

It is soooooo hot here. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 104 F. *Falls over dead*

[Kat Hansen]

Okay, that's a tad too warm. Eeek!

hahah great post. I could use a bit of warm up as well. The funny thing is that I was the one loving warm weather (but I was born in a wrong country ) but this year during the winter (we are having right now) I forced myself to go on the walks no matter the weather and I don't feel that bad!
But let me tell you the one thing I cant survive the winter without - i hot water bottle! That is the best thing ever. I sleep with it, I read books with it, I use it alllll the time and outside - the hand warmers, small little things that can save you anywhere
