@Nick do you wear thermal under shirts? How much clothing do you wear to keep warm?

Sorry you're suffering mate but take heart as you can build up the fire and put on more clothes to ward off the cold. Heat is a completely different thing!

The temp you list is a mite above a typical winter high temp around here. In fact, now here in late Spring, that is still a common morning temperature, but in only a few more weeks we'll be dreaming of such deliciously cool mornings, and I'll be wire brushing and sanding the rust out of the swamp cooler to get it painted and back in service!

Its heaps better than heatwaves Daniel, you can always put some extra clothes on!
Its been blowing Southerlies for a few days, so its coming up from Antartica so it's extra cold.
