There was a cold snap while I stayed with a friend in her very old, unheated brick house in Brixton. The bathroom was a relatively modern addition to the back of the house and had thin interior-type walls. They were covered in frost every morning, and it took a lot of willpower on my part to get a shower in there!Another Sewing Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945784360747028884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433539191806188695.post-45737618741336747652013-01-24T09:27:18.510-05:002013-01-24T09:27:18.510-05:00Yeah, Quebec city gets even colder than us, with m...Yeah, Quebec city gets even colder than us, with more snow too.

For us, the colder it gets, the more clothes you put on and the higher you set the heat in your house. If the power goes out, you light the woodstove/fireplace and stay warm. OTOH, if it gets too hot, what the heck do you do? You can't take off any more clothes or cool your house if the power goes out! Whatever you're used to seems normal to you! :) Another Sewing Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945784360747028884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433539191806188695.post-17325832721728010822013-01-24T08:52:33.752-05:002013-01-24T08:52:33.752-05:00-29C is -26F, which is VERY cold!

I have this mental image of you snapping off your eyelashes so you can see :) In Sydney we are sweltering at the moment with temps over 40C and anxiously watching the horizon for signs of bushfires so we can gather the kids and animals and get out safely. As far as clothes, I try to make dresses that don't touch me anywhere, in linen or cotton. Very flattering look. I always have a chuckle when you guys talk about lining clothes. Ha. Not even in the depths of winter would I wear lined clothing. On a really cold day it might get down to 15C but nothing that a cardigan can't fix.
