Glad you asked, Ebbie - “For Pete's sake” originated as a substitute for “for Christ's (or God's) sake,” and other similar expressions as using a shortened form of the disciple St. Peter's name instead was considered less offensive.

Here in the Land of Oz we are heading into winter, so it's getting cooler. But Sydney's winter is different to Alaska's winter.

I live on the edge of the CBD, close to the Harbour (can't see it cos buildings are in the way) & have my windows locked open about 6" & don't have heating. I just put on more layers, naturally those who live west of the harbour have heating, some even have properly sealed homes!!

Average June temperatures in Sydney CBD are 18C high/10C low, averages further west - Parramatta 18/8 (25km from CBD), Penrith 18/7 (60km), Katoomba (in the Blue Mountains where some areas get snow) 10/4 (100km)

For those accustomed to F. temperatures, double & add 30 to get an idea of C. temperatures, for an accurate figure Google is your friend!
