So did I. 14 deg outside which feels chilly right now after the warmth. Not very comfy inside either. Normally, I'd turn the heating on but now we're freezing for Putin already. What will it be like in winter?:thumbsd:

You'll probably freeze, just like us 🥶
I only heat my lounge up of an evening, I have it on now but it'll be going off about 9pm, then just have a pot of coffee on the go til bedtime :p
 
Australia is honoring Queen Liz today with a public holiday. I admired Queen Liz but I never recognized her as my queen or my nations queen. I recall at boarding school thinking that when we had to sing God Save Our Queen as our national anthem.

When the mercury reaches 40c Jess. Open my door and walk into a furnace. So I really feel for you Poms now enduring similar temps when you are used to far lower ones.

My gosh I remember the heatwave we had in the summer when the temps were in the 40s, it started to make me feel ill. We have a cold front heading our way, and there's talk of ground frost, you'll never know how happy this time of year makes me feel 🤗
 
It's 14 degrees here 😃 I don't have my central heating on but I am wearing a fleece top, it's colder of an evening and later on after dinner I'm going for a walk around my neighbourhood 🥶

that makes me feel cold just thinking about it Jess. I prefer walks on a balmy summer evening not in an ice box. ;)
 
DS starts in some Aussie states today. Now I am older I dont find it of any great benefit. It certainly annoys we when a cricket match is played in the West as it adds an extra hour to the starting time.

I've lived through it for a 1 year trial as a kid plus a 3 year one around 15 years ago and hated it with a passion. In saying that I think it's just personal preference and understand why some like it.

But the majority don't as it's been voted down over here every time it's ever been a referendum yet still some people can't take the hint and keep floating the idea of bringing it in.

Same here. I wonder how they managed to get the necessary majority for introducing it but apparently can't reach a consensus on abolishing it.
