Yep I do miss the cold crisp frosty mornings in the UK but having just returned from a trip there after several years my body cannot adjust. Maybe its because Im now 64 and totally acclimatised to the tropics.
Richard,
I do fear I'm romantisisng the cold a bit, it's been 5 years plus since I've been in Canada and I fear I too have gotten soft. I come from Nova Scotia on the Atlantic coast..nice long autumns, months of crisp blue skies and a warm sweater!
HHfarang..I do loves me some sweet cool aircon, but oddly enough I've worked the last seven years here in non-air schools. I had a choice but figured I had better jump into the deep end and acclimate myself, and I like the school. I do love to go to bed early with a good book and crank the air. As long as the beer's cold I can hang outside.
As for the snow shovelling...I didn't much like it a 4 or 5 AM, but I just finished an hour on the treadmill here and snow-shovelling is better than that. At least you can see that you are accomplishing something...
