What kind physical environment do you thrive in?

I'm happiest at latitude - 35.9 degrees and close to sea level, which is what I have living in Sydney.

Summer can be hot and humid, unlike the more extreme heat of the inland, but you can escape the heat fairly easily by taking a cold or tepid shower. It can be a problem getting to sleep at night during a heat wave.

It is the cold that I cannot take. I sit inside and hug the heater, avoiding the cold winds coming down from the west as much as possible.

Modern housing in Australia is not well designed for temperature extremes. I couldn't begin to imagine living anywhere where it snows.

I enjoy what I call Adirondack weather.

Low humidity, hot during the day and crisp cold clear skies at night.

I love winter. It's a time when everything is sleeping, warm and cosy. I have a small place so it's easy to heat. I make soups and stews, lots of comfort food. In the summer and fall I am always spinning wool and in the winter knitting it into thick warm mitts or hats...and of course slippers and socks.
Some of my family went west on the Oregon Trail in covered wagons so I guess I get that pioneer feeling honestly.

Fall and Spring are my favorites. Best outside temp for me is 50-60. I can handle low 70 if no humidity.
I can start out wearing long pants and a long sleeve shirt and a light jacket. Once I start working and get hot I can take the jacket off and still be comfortable.

I have never liked the heat even when I was young. I went into premature menopause after surgery.
I didnt get the hot flashes or any of that. My metabolism changed and now Im just hot all the time.
I was hoping that when I got older I would turn into one of those old ladies thats cold all the time.
No such luck. #sigh

I know what you mean about Florida. The husband booked us on a January cruise that left out of Florida.
He told everyone I whined about the heat the whole time. I am not cruise material. I dont swim. I hate being in the sun. And I dont gamble. Also just stopping over in Florida and I know I never want to move there.

My flower beds are full of weeds too. Theyre disgraceful. I just cant be outside. After 30-40 min the asthma kicks in and I cant breathe.
The heat gives me a headache and makes me light headed too. Its just me here. I figure I will get to them when I get to them.
As soon as it cools off I will be mulching everything to within an inch of their little flower lives.

You must be my sister from another mister!
