Too friggin' cold to do anything!!

Ooh, I just put your name down to tackle Mt Everest with me next month. :D

Toughen up big fella. :D

It was 9 Celsius yesterday morning, then fog arrived, got the fire going and pushed it up to 22 - which is frankly too hot if you are moving around - but nice when it is lousy outside.

You big girl, you still had your boots on!:p
I thought you said you were tough?:confused:

I live in Tassie, but I love the heat.

I have been known to get around in polarfleeces on 30+ degrees days - primarily because I live in a perpetual state of cold and so when it gets warm - I make the most of it.

I find that my body starts shutting down at around 7 degrees C. (even rugged up) but, I have learnt to work through it.

I will happily walk around up to about 40 degrees C., but I don't much like doing strenuous labour above 30 degrees C.

HOWEVER, when you talk about cold countries, I was talking to a group of Finnish people last year and they said that their bodies actually invigorate in the subzero temperatures - but I think that was more to do with having to move to stay alive...

Mind you, when it is freezing cold I seem to be able to take it better than if it is just normal old cold.

I suppose that it is much the same as if it is drizzling I hate it, but if it is absolutely belting down, I can handle it (once wet). :confused:

I'm getting a bit weak-kneed now, with joints starting to ache in winter, but once my shed reaches 0 at night I generally pull the pin and head indoors. It does depend on the job and how into it I am the time:D By that stage I have a beanie on, and a bar heater going next to the bench.
What I hate is the middle of summer working on-site and you can't pick up a spanner because it burns your hand!

Cheers,

Yeh think about those poor buggers in Darwin who need to keep their tools in a bucket of water.
