I forgot the name you call this particular garment
I'm certainly glowing, Lily. The bandana hasn't made an appearance yet as I have mainly been doing outdoorsy stuff but the kitchen roll is ready and waiting...
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
I admire the way that you cope in those extreme temperatures, Cass, but I certainly don’t envy you. I don’t enjoy the heat at all and have far more energy in cooler/cold weather. If I lived in Greece I’d spend the summer sitting in front of a fan doing nothing. 😳

I have always felt the heat and spent over 30 years in the North East and never owned a coat.In fact, last year was the first time I had worn a coat since I was a teenager. My nod to winter was wearing a gilet and a scarf as outerwear and swapping sandals for boots so, as you can imagine, the heat was no enticement. The first couple of years here, I thought I would expire. You learn to cope, ways to stay cool and there are only a few weeks in summer when it is a bit overpowering. Spring, Autumn , and most of winter is a delight.The sheer joy of being able to leave the house for the day, knowing you won't need a jacket, an umbrella, a coat, gloves etc. more than makes up for it. The most I have to take, is a light cardigan in early spring, late Autumn.
As I have often said, you acclimatise, but the downside is that you start to feel the cold more and our houses are not designed for cold weather. Hence, me buying a coat in the u.k. last year. I am, by nature, energetic, and rarely sit doing nothing but I tend to do jobs like vacuuming at 6am while it is cooler, at this time of year.
All my life, I have suffered from SAD which is not an issue, here. The sun is mood-enhancing and the sea is turquoise for most of the year. I love visiting u.k. for a few days but the grey skies and grey sea holds no appeal.

LOl, I fitted in well with my Geordie footie friends - you will, of course have seen them at matches, bare-chested, as the snow bleaches down,.In that sense, I was one of the lads (though I didn't bare my chest) but only because i didn't much feel the cold. If i had, I would have worn a coat.
