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.

It's a cliche, but it's all about the humidity. I'm so glad to be out of sub-tropical Auckland where it was sticky-sweaty in summer and miserable-damp-to-wet in winter. I'd pick hot all the time if it was like Israel - lovely and dry so you don't feel the heat or even sweat but you do have to to drink lots of water. But then I'd pick cold if it was like Germany - crisp and snowy and invigorating. I enjoyed them both when I lived there, so hard choice!
