It won’t make you feel better I know but it’s shitty here too. It’s 85% bloody humidity and grey.Send warm-os down here, pls. It's freezing. Almost literally as we've a low of zero tonight. I just spoke to my brother who was whinging that they had a low of 14, we haven't even had that as a high lately. It's currently 25 degrees where he lives so he's put socks and a jumper on.
PS we are already in bed at 7:44 pm with the cats, too cold to sit in the kitchen.

I love overcast days but not humidity. Where my brother lives (up in the Northern Territory, near Darwin) it's like breathing through a hot wet sock during the wet season which is September/October to around April.It won’t make you feel better I know but it’s shitty here too.

When I was in Texas it was 95-98% humidity and 95-105f it was like being in hot bath sponge. Absolutely awful.I love overcast days but not humidity.

Sounds like we’d all benefit from better insulation.Brrrrrr. Snuggle in.
For our UK friends, Australian homes are officially known to be woefully and purposely inadequately insulated.
We suffer in winter as you do in your increasingly hot summers.
We who RENT (that remains a mockery against Jack, yes?) really struggle in winter. You can't efficiently run a heater/aircon in an abode designed to let heat out as soon as the temperature drops!
And I say this as a human with gratefully acknowledged good health who is or can be rugged up and run around all day.
MCM, I so don't want to sound condescending, but YES GOD IT'S COLD. LOOK AFTER YOUR NOSE AND TOES
OMG @griftalo! Is YH your partner? I don't know why but I've been assuming this was a reference to an older child living with you who was a sibling to your little ones.Sounds like we’d all benefit from better insulation.
YH hasn’t apologised for Friday and we aren’t speaking. I’ll happily die on this hill as I have the bed to myself and peace and quiet. Also the blue corn whisky he would’ve gotten for Father’s Day from me. I don’t like whisky but I might try and force it down. Casually asking me later “so how was it then” was so passive aggressive that it made it all worse.
Young Harold was originally slightly younger Harold who hasn’t left - because of the old Harold jokes. But shortened to young Harold or just YH. You’d think it was a child from the carrot argument I’m sure. The kids I will refer to as just the kids. Two bigger and two littler ones. I’m out of the under five’s though for all of them. I won’t call YH mr griftalo as we aren’t married!OMG @griftalo! Is YH your partner?

Eeeeek.
What was his issue with whatever he did do?!Oooh YES!
I have two brothers. One lives in Watermelon aka Glasgow. He has a difficult relationship with Nephew #3, who is a beautiful young man who most definitely has been a berk and a challenge and who is one of the greatest people I know. Different from his father yet very like. But not university academic, which it appears is the only measure my bro can understand.
BUT! Oh yes, I've been keeping this burn up my sleeve for years and tonight WAS MY NIGHT

YEA TAKE THAT, BROTHER, WHO'S ATTENDED *TWO*
BURN LOVING MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
I do not need insulation or even a heater tonight
I know you love him and great man I'm sure but the tagine thing was SO BULLSHIT and I hope his whisky is often (but not always so as to keep him wary) sour haha.Young Harold was originally slightly younger Harold who hasn’t left - because of the old Harold jokes.

Thanks for clarifying, Griftalo. I think I assumed YH was a twenty-something kid still living at home, with younger siblings. Perhaps it's because you're often frustrated with him and you're bearing the mental load of managing your household, which sounds rather complicated!Young Harold was originally slightly younger Harold who hasn’t left - because of the old Harold jokes.
