Hi PeteY,
Good to hear from you - I was wondering what happened to you as I hadn't seen any posts from you for a while (or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough?)
Just for once it sounds like UK temperatures are slightly ahead of SA - can I gloat awhile when I next speak to my sister in Adelaide then?

The interesting thing with our weather, and house construction, is that it is normally colder inside.
On Monday, it was so cold inside the house, i had to have my breakfast OUTSIDE on the patio, where it was warmer

Just to show that QLD is not all Sun and warmth:
from ABC news:
Monday, 3 May 2004
The cold snap is expected to continue across much of Queensland after Stanthorpe in the south-east recorded its lowest temperature for the year.
The mercury dropped to minus 0.6 degrees at Stanthorpe this morning.
The weather bureau's Geoff Doueal says it should not be as cold near the coast.
Stanthorpe is Near the NSW border, and inland.

It got down to -6 at night there quite often, and the only warmth we had was one of those oil-filled electric heaters.
The joys of a hot country, sitting around indoors wearing multiple layers of clothing, jumpers, coats trying to remember the last time you were ever that cold in England!

Put a steak on for me, Sky, I am heading your way because it is grey and windy here!
Not cold though! I keep meeting Kiwi's going 'Brrr you know winter is here' and I am just in a fleece! I got my cold weather dog walking kit out to show a friend last week and she was amazed at the number of warm layers and asked how I possibly moved in it all!

Re: Nipples like tent pegs.
Most homes do not have any insulation. so any heat escapes through the roof, same as cold air from the aircon in the summer. They've recently changed the laws here In Qld . all new homes now built must be insulated to a point.
I built before the laws were changed, we keep meaning to get the loft insulated.. but haven't got round to it yet.
The nights are freezing in Brissie.. we did have 7c one night/very early morning.
I keep telling people to bring their jumpers, coats and quilts.. but I don't think some people believe me it gets cold in Brisbane during the nights... Days are another matter.. it's always quite pleasant and warm in the sunshine.. T shirt weather
