Yes,well I suppose it's horses for courses.
Different ppl.have different temperature thresholds.
I have tried several times over many years to become acclimatized to the Summer heat without success, and always ended up trapped in my own house with the cooler on.

Did you keep it moist sacking and spray of water so that it does not crack up with setting to fast?

What I don't understand why does 15C feel much colder than 15C in the UK
In Spain you have to peel off layers to go out and vice versa in the UK. If I set the CH to 22C in Spain it is firing up every 5 mins but in the UK seems to be about every half hour.
Wouldn't trust cheap electric blankets in Spain! what would happen if you got a power surge....old-fasioned hot water bottle for me.

Re: Anyone else feeling a bit chilly already?
I saw that in Gerald Durrel's 'my family and other animals' series of books. It was used to highlight the end of his Corfu idyll.
Another good one is featured in Steinbeck's Cannery row/Sweet Thursday.
Black Marigolds, translated from the Sanscrit by E Powys Mathers.
If you go here,

There's a nice reference that gives the explanation for the poem, and a brief resumè

That's why it was familiar. I did the Corfu Idyll as reader with one of my Spanish students. It was hilarious. To keep to the thread it's boiling outside in my patio.
