Back from hols now.

Jaysus i love some cold weather.

Majorca during a heatwave was just too much. By this time last week (9am), it would be around 35 degrees. We arent build for it, lads.

You met me IRL and I can manage that and higher! such a pussy Pter :pac:

Baggly · 13-08-2018 09:29AM

I can manage it. I just dont like it.

Mollyb60 · 13-08-2018 09:35AM

I think 30 degrees is my limit. After that I would be in a puddle on the floor. And I would be so snappy and (even more) unpleasant.

quickbeam · 13-08-2018 09:40AM

I can out-wuss the lot of you. I crumble in the mid twenties. High teens is my ideal tbh.

fixXxer · 13-08-2018 09:40AM

I for one welcome the return of the rain. It's our natural state, to be slightly soggy.

I love it, as do us all in the family, 28 would feel a bit cool after the hottest part of the summer here. 24 is weather to out your jacket on!:p

You would be surprised Mol. I am as white as you can get and a ginge to boot and there is a difference I guess from living in a hot Country as to visiting. You get used to it as it builds over the months and you don't mind it. But coming from cold to that heat can be harsh.

Necro · 13-08-2018 09:46AM

I'd actually agree with Flushy, it's surprising how quickly you adapt if you get that weather all the time.

My year in Oz, I spent 9 months of it working in various outback roadhouses. First place was...here.

9 hours from Perth in the middle of the desert :pac: Got to about 40 odd in the summer. Heat I adjusted to. Flies... I did not.

Apparently our blood thins so we can cope and then when you go into the cold, you really feel it because of this.

My sister is in Perth, in WA. She is built like me and manages fine too.
I hate flies, but hate mozzies more!
My brother was in Malta this time last year and one day it was 47 in Valletta. We didn't leave the house, they did for as long as it took the bus to take them there and back and 15 mins in the city!

The flies/mosquitos were the worst part of the holiday. 20 bites on my legs alone.

fixXxer · 13-08-2018 10:15AM

Would a return of the snow be out of the question?

Baggly · 13-08-2018 10:17AM

Ah the snow. Cold, wet AND all the bread you could shake a stick at (presuming you got to the shop to stock up, of course).

I spray myself when I go out after a certain time to avoid getting bit. I also have a net around my bed to keep the little fcukers out!

I love both. I prefer the cold. Variety is the spice of life.

I love the heat , soaking in the sun on a nice scorcher

But I love the cold too, great snuggle weather.

Banjo · 13-08-2018 11:28AM

The trick with mossies is to have the big net over the bed, but with a hole in it. Then when the sneaky bastards come through the hole you catch them in the smaller net you had hidden under your pillow the whole time. Now who's the boss, motherfathers! Hang their bodies around the hole in the big net, with tiny little straws sticking out of their bodies, as a warning. The hunter has become the hunted. They'll leave you alone after that.

I like it.

Mollyb60 · 13-08-2018 11:54AM

Oh yeah gimmie a cold holiday any time. I LOVED Tromso in February a few years back. They dealt with ice and snow so much better than us and it was just so nice to come in out of the cold and have a nice hot mulled wine in front of the fire.

Unfortunately Mr Molly hated it so has banned cold weather holidays for 5 years. So Iceland in 2020 is on the cards!

fixXxer · 13-08-2018 12:21PM

Twas great fun with the snow. The hospital went in to crazy mode and I got out with my camera a good few times. I'd take that over the melting heat any day.

Not for me at all. I am not a fan of the white stuff, except to look at it from the inside. hated driving in it, the cost of oil to keep the house any way warm and people are much more depressed in winter.

Give me sunshine any day.

Happy hump day everyone!

It's my Monday this week so it surely is a Happy Hump day

Baggly · 15-08-2018 08:35AM
