here in Sydney latest temperatures at 10.20pm Sunday night is 12.0 which feels like 7.5, & I'm not wearing all winter layers as I don't need them tonight, thin thermals, long sleeved t-shirt, fleece vest & fleece jacket + velvet skirt are enough!

I don't have or need a heater & my windows are locked open 6" or so. When it gets cooler I add a pair of fleecy track pants & replace the t-shirt with a woollen thermal shirt & maybe a shawl & I'm fine, tho no doubt people would look at me strangely if we had an emergency!

2 & a half hours later the temperature in Jennie's little bit of paradise, several hundred kilometers west of me, is 3.7 which feels like 0.8! But her house is sealed, insulated & heated, as it's built to the local winter climate.
