a daily meme

[kindkit]

I'm pretty significantly late to this, but I just discovered this question-a-day meme which seems interesting enough to do. I keep wanting to post more regularly and not being able to think of anything to say.

So here goes, for July 31, 2020:

31 If you had to choose one or the other, would you rather live where it’s hot all the time or cold all the time?

Cold. Blessed, blessed cold.

I mean, I don't actually like genuinely freezing cold weather. My ideal climate would be one where it's sweater-and-light-coat weather all the time. Maybe a couple of weeks in high summer of where you can take your jacket off in the afternoon, and a couple of weeks in midwinter with snow.

But if I had to pick between, say, every day is around 32F/0C, or every day is around 86F/30C, I would go for the cold. Because (for me) the discomfort of cold is easier to accommodate than the discomfort of heat. I like to wear lots of clothes!

He said, sweating. Blergh.

Same! I live in a fairly moderate climate with occasional extreme heat in summer. Which is also when we're at high risk for catching on fire. I've hated summer since childhood* but it's only got worse over the years now that I have two autoimmune conditions that react badly to heat.

*My mum also tends to faint if she overheats and I inherited that as well as developing the other issues. Not great!
