Got a tshirt, wool jumper, fleece, jeans and socks on and am still freezing. Just put the kettle on for another hot cuppa. Have to put the heater on and have a pot of soup on the stove for when we get home from school and ballet this evening I think. i hate winter!!!!!

Sunny day here in Perth today.We have had the wood burner lit since last week but not last night as it was too warm.Have the heaters in the bedrooms all ready.

We will have to agree To disagree here. I LOVE WINTER! I almost cry with joy when I slip into my fleece for the first time each year....AND I can wear socks and closed in shoes that don't wreck my feet/heels


....moan, moan whinge whinge

It's 20 degrees and raining in Brisbane today. In Dubai, we'd just be getting into the mid-40's days now, just have to reaclimatise I think.

Just get your kids to massage moisturiser into your heels every day - my youngest loves moisturising my feet (strange creature).

I love winter but then again, it's not cold in my bit of Aus!

I've had the same problem, having moved from Singapore. Slowly getting used to it (and wearing more clothes) though.

It was bloody cold here last night. Fortunately the house is smallish so not too bad to heat but it's hard to justify keeping the heaters on once everyone else has gone to bed. I sat here clad in pullovers, extra thick socks, etc for a while but decided to go to bed when the cold numb feeling began to set in. Thankfully there was a big hot water bottle in bed just waiting to be snuggled up to

I love all the seasons. Don't like the cost of heating the house in winter but love the skiing.

I heard somewhere that there's snow on the mountains

Husband is on an expat posting in Singapore....he says it's v.v hot there right now and I've just checked here:

Wow.... 90F but feels like 102F today! Temp to be 95F tomorrow so will feel hotter (and sooo humid too)...

You're not that far away from the ski-slopes. I thought snow in or around Canberra was quite common as well.

paulry

I believe the mountains surrounding Canberra are snow capped sometimes. I'm not aware of snow in the city itself though. <glancing through the window to the sky>

Love it, going to dry up for the weekend too ... off to see Bindi on Saturday and playing cricket on Sunday.

Must get some more wood for a fire tonight, got down to 6 degrees a couple of days ago ... parky ...

I'm going back for a few days next week. I'll be moaning that it's too hot (whinging bloody pom........)
