I assumed because we're so far south that it probably was. I think I was just getting carried away by my euphoria at finding somethign really good about our new posting (well 9 mth old posting...)<BR/><BR/>WIHK I remember I used to put on my crop JEANS when it got down to 29'in SL. That was when I knew I was acclimatised. We had our a/c set to 27' at night. Any less & we wd wake up cold!<BR/><BR/>Iota, I think it's true, the weather is one of the most depressing & difficult adjustements for many immigrants to the UK.Paradise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-66449045997781462582008-10-21T07:48:00.000-07:002008-10-21T07:48:00.000-07:00I think I have forgotten what Autumn feels like.

People are talking about Halloween and I just think, what, in this weather?Mutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720936545179612420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-11849036716510016092008-10-21T06:56:00.000-07:002008-10-21T06:56:00.000-07:00Lovely post.

When it is the transition from a grey and chilly summer to a greyer and chillier winter, as has been the case the last few years in both London and Paris, it is a gloomy reminder of warmth and light that never was and the cold dark that is to come.Parisgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541058433269818013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-56801255593215296022008-10-21T06:22:00.000-07:002008-10-21T06:22:00.000-07:00I now feel very sorry for people who come to live ...I now feel very sorry for people who come to live in Britain from other countries. They must find our weather so dreary and relentless. We think we have four seasons, but the range of them is pretty small, compared with elsewhere.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
