cold cold cold

You may think, “Surely New Zealand winter can’t be worse than New England winter.”  But only 1 day into the official winter season here, I can tell you that it is worse.  Worse to live through, because though it doesn’t get as cold here outside as it does in Boston, it gets way colder inside.  In the States in winter, most people set their thermostats to what?  60° F at the lowest?  Maybe 55°?  But during the day, most are probably upwards of 68°. Here most houses have virtually no insulation, and no central heating.  So when it’s 40° outside, it’s 40° inside.  Which is really frickin’ cold.
