Winter

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Australian houses, while nice to look, are really crap in wintertime. The concept of insulation is completely alien and thicker windows than one-pane doesn’t exist. The result of this is that whatever temperature it is outside, it is inside. Fully homogeneous.

Today we had 14 degrees centigrade.

Time to get a new doona.

Every bloody day. As if mate..
