It's currently 14.7 degrees outside.

I'm not a big wuss for not wanting to go hang the washing out, am I?

No, that's cold! I have a blanket wrapped around me right now.

I think it's entirely sensible.

It's sixteen here, and I have the windows open and the fan on and I am sweating.

So yes. You're a wuss. But you're really, really cute about it. *pets*

We can't all have thick blood.

Hey, it's practically the same temperature *bonds over this*

I enjoyed hanging my washing out today, because it is much, much warmer out there than it is inside our house. Even with the loungeroom all sealed up and the heater on.
I believe Deb got to scrape ice off her car this am!

I didn't think to mention it was even colder in the house, I assumed everyone would know :)

Of course, I don't have the heater on *is stoic*

*is not stoic*

We can't turn our heaters up very much anymore, or at the same time or anything, as trying to check and change fuses outside at midnight is no fun.

Yay thermals!

I desperately need some of those fingerless gloves....

Where's your thermal underwear?

I'm sitting at my desk, with a hot pack on my knee looking out at egg-blue sky and sharp shadow-edges on the buildings. The world outside looks wonderful.

Perfect hiking weather.

I can tell you where mine are. In fact, I can show you, but that would involve me taking off my jeans and it's too cold for that type of thing.

Ha. You sure are. I ran 5km in a T-shirt first thing this morning, and have just spent two hours outside planting trees!

I got toughened up from a year in Ballarat, where it often didn't get out of single figures for a week in the winter.

I was impressed that Ballarat in winter was far, far colder than Tasmania.

Did you have to scrape ice off the ground before planting trees today? I always forget just exactly how cold winter is (even if it is far warmer here than other places), and just how much I hate being cold. I do remember that I hate winter, just I forget the depth of my feelings about it.

I stayed in Perth last night, so don't know if there was ice here this morning or not. Didn't get home until noon, when it wasn't too bad. Cold but nice & sunny.

I like winter a lot more now I do hoof trimming work! It's so much easier in winter (when the feet are softer) that I can't begrudge the cold as much as I used to. Plus, I love my place being green.

Running doesn't count! Running is a warm-making activity.

And for no reason other than that it popped into my mind, the graph of temperature versus marathon times seems to show that people run their fastest times at about 16 degrees celcius. So it's pretty much perfect running weather where Sushi is.

I don't know, it takes a long time to get warm. My athletics club held a run at Darlington a few weeks ago and I complained for the first 4km that I was still cold. (Then the person I was complaining to ran off and left me!) I didn't really warm up until nearly at the end (8km).

The hardest part is, of course, making the decision to get dressed and go outside!

I had to get up at 6am do tree planting next to the river. The guy who picked me up had to wipe ice off his windscreen before he could drive.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
