Welcome home, from me and my (non-brand-name) uggs.

I live in Alaska. Do not get me started on cold.

If everyone realised blankets and warm clothes work just as well indoors as out, we might save quite a few carbon emissions http://crunchychicken.blogspot.com/2008/10/freeze-yer-buns-challenge-2008.html

Usual lurker here–but I just had to say I’m right there with you. I live in Parramatta, which is always 5C hotter or colder than the city, and my cats now go out on the balcony to get warm! Those heat-sucking walls are a killer. Lots of fuzzy socks, lots of fuzzy socks…that’s what I use.

That makes me want to go visit. I wish I knew what it was like to have warm days and cold nights. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

Reminds me of visiting my grandparents and having a hot water bottle under the covers at night — fond memories…

I agree 100% re uggs (have never even owned a pair cos I dislike em so). Ditto re Crocs. I do like Birkenstocks…

One thing I love about Sydney is that it rarely gets that cold here (the last few days of so-called winter have been stunners), but it’s a tradition for everyone, myself included, to nevertheless complain that it’s “freezing” outside. I work with English expats who grew up in lands of constant ice and snow, who complain about being cold in Sydney.

Agree 100% with wearing uggs outdoors. Thank god they are no longer a chic fashion item.

This. I have terrible trouble convincing my UK friends that ten degrees can be unpleasantly cold when you work from home and have no heating.

Is it common for people to wear their ugg boots indoors? I thought my boyfriend was the only one!

Warm days and cold nights? I wish. But here in Canada, it’s always cold days and even colder nights.

Our summer is pretty depressing. It’s been raining for a week, and the temperatures refuse to go past 23C. Coldish summer foreshadowing even colder winter? I hope not…

Hahaha, you’d hate living in Canada, weather-wise. I can’t imagine you handling possible -50C in mid-Janurary!

Mmmm. I love sleeping with blankets piled up and only my cold nose sticking out. Oh, wait. We could have stopped at “I love sleeping.”

Welcome home.

Sounds ideal!

Yes! The true appreciation of Uggs! I remember one of my friends in England bursting out laughing when I explained to her that Ugg boots were originally (and only ever should be) awesome upgraded slippers. She didn’t actually like the things, but took great pleasure in ripping into her younger sister from then on (who wore them outside, short skirt and all >:( )

I hope you realise you’re describing London’s actual summer weather at the moment!

I dislike your bragging about no “real”cold when I went from Hawaii, to Paris, and am now preparing to spend a semester in Montreal >=(

(Actually, I’ll admit I prefer being a little too cold to a little too warm–it’s a lot easier to pile on blankets than fans. But too much cold is not pleasant!)

In hawaii we don’t get anywhere near ten celsius, but as soon as the weather drop 2 or 3 degrees everyone is in sweaters xD
