Brrrrr!! 😱 Where are you, if you don't mind me asking?
@see_the_sus I truly don't think I've EVER known it to be this cold here.
I wondered as I don't think I've ever heard it getting that cold in the UK.
Are you letting your faucets trickle water so they don't freeze?
@see_the_sus Plus, my other half comes from Chicago so he thinks I'm a weakling for complaining about it!
🤣 aahh, so you do know about the American Midwestern winters! 🤣
it took me about 2 winters in IN to get to where I could be outside for longer than 5 minutes and not feel like an icicle. By my last winter there, Jan 2022, I could be outside in 30F (-1C) with just a long sleeve sweater or thick top, gloves, and a scarf.
I gotta head to bed now, it's after 1 a.m. here. Take care and stay warm!!
@see_the_sus Oh, I honestly do. Born in NYC and other half comes from Chicago (he's already moaning that I've gone soft!) But it's just very unusual here!
One does adapt though somehow. When I'm in the States, perhaps I just dress up warmer. Outside in a tee-shirt? I'm going to have to come over there and wra;p you up!
@Florence oh, ya fooled me! 😂 Here I was making the silly assumption that you were Welsh or at least a native UKer. 😂
I’m jealous that you got out of the US. How long have you been over yonder?
@see_the_sus I'm a dual- national. I usually describe myself as an international hybrid or mongrel! I've spent my life pretty much half here and half there, and the third half (!) Traveling about the world!
@see_the_sus My Mom was American but had British citizenship and my Dad was fully British. My mom however, lived almost exclusively in CA and so rarely visited the UK after her childhood (her parents were American Diplomats who lived in the UK).
@see_the_sus But, to be honest, both my parents were in the entertainment industry and so both were fairly peripatetic and traveled about a lot. I do truly think I've got a move-about gene!
@Florence
I love moving and experiencing all the differences. It’s eye-opening.
@Florence
Niiice!
For years my family thought I had dual citizenship since I was born in Italy but thanks 😠 to being born on the base, I’m 100% American citizen. Bah humbug!
But my mom is American-Spanish, dad is American-German, and my last name is Danish thanks to a step-grandad. 😆
