I believe a lot of Canadians see air conditioning as wasteful, so we suffer through hot weather. Whereas in warmer climates people just turn it on and don't think about it any more, same as Canadians turn on the heat every fall and don't think about it again until spring.<br /><br />It's the cultural adjustment that is the most difficult.<br /><br />We are all happy campers if the temperature goes up to 3.5C in winter!<br /><br />But anyway, my plan with the Celtic seasons is to save Summer until last, because that is my favourite. The next one will be Winter!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-22930173994036255532012-06-24T08:04:18.538-04:002012-06-24T08:04:18.538-04:00I hate it when the instructions are imprecise.

I imagine it is lovely to stitch and watch it emerge.<br /><br />We would regard a heat wave as over 38C for 3+ days. We've had unusually cold weather in some parts of the country. It was 3.5C in Brisbane one morning last week - the mean minimum for June is 13.5C. Adelaide winter has been pretty normal.<br /><br />Perhaps you should be stitching summer!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-34530980402230485702012-06-23T17:59:11.753-04:002012-06-23T17:59:11.753-04:00Canada, Cynthia, Canada!

But The Summer of the Future is looking less fun!<br /><br />I well remember your perfect California weather. When I lived in SF I used to taunt everyone back here.

I'm not experienced enough on cross-stitching to know what to do when the instructions are ambiguous. <br /><br />We haven't even seen 80 F yet. Whereabouts in the world are you?Cynthia Gilbrethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124840580430749378noreply@blogger.com
