I am sat here in my winter woolies seriously thinking of putting the heating on.
Its only August where has summer gone.
Its blowing a gale outside and looking like rain.
Anyone else cold?

I certainly was yesterday! Thermometer outside kitchen window was showing just over 14 deg in the afternoon - and we're in SW London. I seriously considered putting the heating on, but opted for another jumper instead.

Today it's 25 ish - has summer decided to come back?

I'm with MissA & Flexiblefriend very rarely feel cold but hate the heat. The heatwave we had last month made me feel tired and ill. Roll on autumn

Went shopping today and had a bad attack of Raynauds Syndrome, fingers going numb. That certainly confirmed it was autumn, both hands and all fingers.

DH is the one moaning that he’s cold - but then he’s the one in bare feet and wearing a t shirt. I refuse to put the heating on in August.

Yesterday I felt absolutely frozen. I had to put a sweatshirt on as well as a t- shirt .As well as jeans and socks. I was ok when active but when I sat down I really did feel the cold. I think autumn has arrived early.

I detest feeling cold. It is one of the reasons I could not live in a cold country again.

It is a pleasant 31°C in Malta, with a bit of a breeze. Many people here are grumbling and wishing for winter, but I’m not one of them.grin☀️

I thought it was only me who was so cold yesterday and resorted to putting the heating on but then saw my niece's comments about it on FB so didn't feel too bad grin

Its really warm here!
Went out in a thin jumper and regretted it as I sweated around the shops.

I think there’s a north/south divide going on or maybe it’s an east/west one but I m not complaint another lovely day here today

In the SW here, windows open, bare feet, t shirt and just a duvet cover on my bed. I'm a warm person too. OH sleeps with winter duvet all year round, and he's back in long sleeve thicker shirts already.
Heating won't be going on here any time soon - my Gramph would never hear of the fire being lit before November lol.

Mea maxima culpa for buying a Dyson fan two days before the weather turned ?

Two actually, one for me and one for DD but she got a few more days’ benefit from it!
