My weather sense is still impeccable.

I didn't get much work done last night and my body kept demanding more and more warmth, even though the outside temperature was above zero and the Bureau of Meteorology said that it would only be zero overnight. This is cold for Australia, but not the sort of thing that triggers the physical reaction I had.

Fortunately I listened to my body and caught up on some reading and went to bed warm and comfortable, for it was close to -5 around 6 am. Midwinter temperatures. I will rug up extra warmly for class tonight. My big coat, I think, and my new scarf and warmer footwear. Hopefully I get a lift home tonight, but it'll start getting cool by 5 pm.

Those friends who live in cooler climes, it isn't actually the temperature that's the problem, it's that our places are built for the warmth, not the cold, as a rule.

And this is in lieu of a proper post, for I'm wondering about various friends and their autumn gardens. I suspect some green tomato pickle in their future.
