Too friggin' cold to do anything!!

[bitingmidge]

So how cold is too cold??

Today is the first weekend in four that I'm actually at home, I've got a few odd jobs to do, then I'm free to do whatever I like...BUT...

I'm wearing LONG PANTS :eek: , shoes, SOCKS :eek: , a pullover, and my toes are starting to cool down and I just don't feel like doing anything at all .

Then I checked the temperature... holy dooley... its down to 19°!!!

So I figure I'm not meant to do anything once it gets below 20°.

Now I'm curious, what is YOUR personal temperature cutoff??

Cheers,

P (looking for property further north!! )

Tasmania in the winter. (ex Qld )

After the mercury drops below about 12 during the day, and the nights are consistent at minus 7 or 9 its time to forget about the shed and outside matters other than get some firewood together.

I don't feel like working below about 8C...... last Tuesday (?) was the lowest recorded May temp -2C, at about 7.30am.
But Mildura is a natural desert.

Once the shed gets below 12° I give up and go make myself a cup of tea.

Midge, you are a pansy.

Geez yer real lucky Midge

If yer had ter wear a nailbag for a livin you'd hafta work rain, hail or shine.

Midge, you are a pansy.

Aha! Personal insults at ten paces it is!!

Since when does having enough nous to live in a warm climate make one a pansy?? Pansie's don't even grow here, it's too hot for 'em!

On the other hand, I NEVER give up.... I just feel like doing nothing.

Interesting though, even though I don't feel like working if it's cold, I usually only put a jumper on when I ride my bike if the temperature is in single figures! (Maybe if my Mother taught me to dress myself, I would't feel so cold?)

Frost starts to settle around 4 deg, so thats when I usually knock off. Or put a jersey on

Pansie's don't even grow here,

No, they move there from VIC cos they can't handle a bit of ice on the grass in the morning.

Now I'm curious, what is YOUR personal temperature cutoff??

Having come from a cold country with strong winters to the wonderful warm temperatures of Melbourne my personal cutoff is 1, just above freezing.

Last couple of days it was 5 when I started working outside.
