Did I mention it was cold?

[katiefoolery]

Every couple of days for the past week, my dad’s been ringing me and letting me know how cold it is up there in Beechworth.

“Minus four this morning!” he’ll say.  “But it got up to eight degrees later.”

Or,

“We had no water this morning because the pipes had frozen.”

To both of which (and all variations thereof), I say:

“Argh!”

Because I hate the cold.  I’ve often thought that this has much to do with the fact that I was born on the coldest day in the history of ever.  I never want to be that cold again.

Or something like that.

And yet, we’re still going up to Beechworth for the next two and a bit days, because it’s the school holidays and it’s the thing to do.  Even though I’m going to freeze.  And people will mock me.  This includes both of my parents and my Timothy, all of whom have absolutley no problems with being SO COLD YOU CAN’T MOVE BECAUSE YOUR JOINTS HAVE FROZEN.

And they think I’m the weird one, just because I like being warm.

I will see you all on Saturday, when I have vague hopes of having caught up on my writing quota.  Indeed, I have even vaguer (and more deluded) hopes of pulling ahead!  I think it’s the cold... it’s done something to my brain.

Mmmmmm hot water bottles. Hot chocca. Hot food. They never hold the same weight in the heat.

Good luck on the writing! And then not long after you get back i'll be down! *tap dances*

We'll just have to go for hot chocca while i'm down. Though i don't know if Emerald has that planned... don't tell me what she has planned, i'm still up for the surprise, i just don't know if we have time for this kind of thing.... :P

And you know what, laptops on lap are really really good :P all the more excuse for writing.

How strange :S I was born on a 40 degree day, and I hate being hot. I like winter :)

I can remember a rather humorous comment you made a few years ago about your family 'dancing around in t-shirts' while you sat and froze. Hehe. Have a marvellous time!

It's been hitting the upper 90s with nary a cloud in sight around here...So enjoy Beechworth. ^_~

You sound like you'd get on with my mother, actually. She loathes cold with a passion (blames it on short school uniforms in New Zealand winters), and will be rugged up in five layers by the time it occurs tthe rest of the family that, why yes, it is a bit nippy, now that you mention it.

Have fun in Beechworth!

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Second, I'm the same - I like being warm. Paul loves being cold. I have to wear winter gear in the car all the time because - regardless of the temp outside - he has the air con on freezing when we're driving. He claims that if it's hot, he can't breath properly...bloody kiwis.

Oh yeah, it's been freezing here too! Your dad sounds like mine. Dad comes out every morning and tell us the minimum, which has been, so far, -7.8 .

Have a great break, rug up well and drink plenty of hot drinks! :-)

Apparently something like 50% of women complain that they can't maintain correct body temperature, and as such they boil in the warm and freeze in the cool. I have no idea about the details, or the actual percentage, but its stupidly high. I think I have it.
The worst part about the cold is trying to get to sleep, methinks.

Heh, learn to knit and make yourself a nice, warm sweater ^_~
Happy Birthday!
