Very true, when I lived in CQ most auzzies thought I was 10 yrs younger than I really am...I usually didn't correct them

Since I moved here 6 years ago, my new comfort values are as follows:

40 = Hot

30 = Just right

20 = Not warm enough

Below 20 = misery

34 is rather nice. If only it would stay there.

Takes all sorts I guess.

So you're saying you're miserable for probably a bit more than half the year? Time to move!
