Of COURSE the electric blanket gave up on the minus 6.5 degree night. Dammit.

Oh, Hi Canberra winter.

Yes, temperature of minus 6.5. APPARENT TEMP -9.7. And still minus two when I left for the gym at six am.

A frost.

Obstacles on the walk to work at 8:30 in the morning.

And these clothes are clearly not substantial enough. Cute, but failing to warm me.

(I should add that only HALF the electric blanket gave up. Much snuggling required.)

I will also add here that it was his side of the bed that went. And since I’m the overheated one, we swapped. Praise my generousity.

Or give me a new blanket.

A small part of me feels sad for you. The larger part says at least you have both an electric blanket and someone to snuggle with… :(

But then again, I didn’t go to the gym at 6, so we’re even :P

You have a point there. It was probably warmer than my office was all day, too.

I couldn’t believe it the other day when I saw how cold it got overnight. Luckily it’s a bit warmer today..
