It's so funny how much people bundle up for 40° here...you would swear it was 40 below
I live in the midwest and bundle up to walk the furry kids at 40°. Just to and from the car usually just a heavy cardigan.

My nephew and his wife moved here from Florida last spring. He was just saying something about being ready for winter, because it snowed a couple times when they first got here. I’m not telling him. Let him find out firsthand. There’s a huge difference between when it gets down to 30 overnight a few times and we get a dusting, and when it’s been weeks since it’s gotten over 30 and you have to go out there and shovel. I think he’s had to scrape his car window twice, lol.

40°F for us desert rats is like 40 below. In 2 days it went from 75° at night to 34° last night. I hate winter.
We may get down to 25° tomorrow morning. If it does it would break a record from 1971! Yeah it went from a low of 50 to freeze warnings in 2 days. I can never remember it being this cold before Halloween. We get this cold every year but it is usually in January and people are acclimated by then. Gonna have to bundle the kid up this year for trick or treating.

I wouldn't be leaving the house with those temps! It gets down to 30 and have to force myself to go to work. Then after work I stock up on essentials to avoid going out again.

We're similar in the Cote d'Azur it's due to how dry it is.... Dry heat or humid heat are very different beasts. I hate winter too but when I lived in south west England it's was OK... You just got fed up with the rain.

So dry heat to dry cold with absolute stillness is a real pain in the a**

Well back at home now again. Just one more dose at the day hospital tomorrow and the 3rd session is done.

I'm better not speak to soon but signs are it may be better this time. They reduced my doses slightly because of last time's chest infection and anaemia...... Everything's crossed :)

Good morning shinies I think. I am not sleeping well. I was awake until about 1 but in bed before that.

IDK what to do waking up earlier is really HARD.. Oh well, I see my doctor tomorrow maybe he will have ideas. Bleugh.

I go to sleep & wake up according to my bio clock, the clocks in UK went back one hour last weekend, my bio clock will take a month to reset. So now I wake up at 0400 and want to sleep at 2000 :-x

I feel for you!

We’ve got each other’s weather. Sorry, but I’m keeping yours. 50f at the end of October? Don’t mind if I do!
