'Good news on the temperature front - it has finally cooled down! Yay!! Yesterday I was sitting on the couch in shorts and a sports bra, having done a few exercises before brekkie (I didn't bring any workout tops and only one pair of workout shorts so I try to exercise inside so I can do it in my underwear! Next time I go into town guess what I'm buying! Yes, men's workout tops!). Anyway, I had been sitting there for a an hour or so answering emails when I felt this strange uncomfortable, unfamiliar feeling. I had to think about it for a while, then I remembered it... yes, I was cold! I would have danced a jig in happiness but that would have warmed me up, so I just went off to have a (warm!) shower and get dressed.'
I fully understand if you feel the need to crack open a bottle of bubbly right now at your work desk in celebration of this - we thought we would never make it, but the coolness was only a fortnight after they PROMISED us it would cool down!!!
Jeff even said we need to go buy a proper blanket - we have been sleeping under 'summer sheets' (like really light duvets, a good size for kids or sweaty adults who just push them off). But if Jeff pulls his up his toes stick out, so they are no good for when he actually wants to warm up. Of course we could cuddle to warm up, but after a month and a half of waking with heat exhaustion if our limbs accidentally touch, it's hard to break the habit of sleeping as far away from each other as possible.
When I talk about 'warming up', it's probably still mid 20's or something, but we have got used to it being SO hot that any drop in temperature seems extreme!
Now that you have heard this tremendous news, I will leave you to celebrate.
