Never mind cold, I solved that one by pointing out to The Bloke that the reason he was shivering could be becuase he had ALL the doors and windows open at 10.30pm............
Its now WET!!! Lets hope the radar picture stays blue for a few days......somewhere under this lot is Queensland

We have one of those older houses in Perth designed to be cool in summer... problem is they are freezing cold at night, we only have one heater in the house which dictates where we spend our evenings...we are advising visitors to bring plenty of wooly jumpers!
day time is great, not to cold and not to hot..

I'm with you, 20 degrees, feels like I'm living in a walk in fridge. It must be 16 or 17 with the wind chill factor. It's so cold, I'm even wearing a fleece in the morning!

I've been here nearly 2.5 years now ....and haven't seen any frost.
We are going up to Alice for a 'working holiday' ...Carl is working, I'm having a holiday on Monday for a week ....just looked at a forecast ....Frost risk 'high' - we are talking about the Alice FFS !!!

Better take lots of woolies and PJs !!!

Awww c'mon Bix. You've only just dressed up with T-shirt and shorts.

It must be dissapointing to find out you cant get that woolly gear from the now the Earlville Sheepskin shop has closed .
