Nah but actually we are the same. Even during the winter I've never been able to make myself do it.

Fair. I have a flatcap/newsboy I'll wear to keep the sun out of my eyes but I've been eyeing a wide brimmed hat for yard work for a while now. Keeps sun off your neck and shoulders better.

For some reason I've never been able to find a baseball cap that fits me. Idk why.

Porter It was 34 degrees today and I finally managed a cold shower.

sonoko Yeah. It do be like that. It was around 37/38 here yesterday afternoon and I had to do some work managing a mistletoe infestation in my yard. It really takes it out of you.

/Southern Hemisphere/ bros, report in.
Winter has already effecrtively ended here, did the clothing rotations and all; sleeveless shirts, lighter blanket for windy nights, stored my slippers away, getting sweaty even if I'm not doing anything. Not looking good, wish the cold lasted a little longer so we could get some of the rain season in to calm things down.

can't handle anything hotter than +20°C (68°F). can't think straight, can't do physical work for too long.
+25°C (77°F) is considered a "heat" for me. dying.

summer
so yeah. summer is a curse, a torture, a punishment. i don't need "to touch grass", i need to touch snow to feel better. snow is the blessing of the gods.

my survival methods:

move futon to the corridor with a good wind blow
tonns of sunscreen
DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT A HAT
curtains to block all light
being active at morning / evening / night
drink woter OR ELSE!
cold compresses / cold shower
cotton light clothes (not too tight!)

Hot weather only. I sleep with 3 blankets even now. Winter is intolerable hell. Give me the blazing heat, a ceiling fan, and plenty of water. I will grow like a plant.
