It’s Not a Day for a Coat!

We are having a nasty July heatwave now. However hot the temperatures are, the humidity is only 61%. It’s not that bad, and it didn’t stop me from a nice long morning walk.
I found this photo taken on The Bund in Shanghai. It was much warmer than in Beijing and Xi’an in December.
I’d rather be hot rather than freezing cold any day!
Off to see the kitties. Be right back.

An awesome picture, Dianne. I agree I prefer hot to cold. I will miss my weeks in the Caribbean this year.

@DianneN It seems that you will not be able to go back to Florida soon, according to the news.

@marguicha I don't care what the news says. We decided once we were back here not to return any time soon until this virus is long gone.

I would rather be cold than warm. If you are too cold you can always put on clothes, if you are too hot, not too much you can do.

@DianneN Yes, and pay for it!!! lol. Some places don't have great AC. If it is super hot here, the AC struggles to keep up. At least I think tomorrow will be the last of the really hot days, if it gets hot again, the late in the summer heat waves aren't as bad.

@snowy22315 Our humidity is pretty low, but we will have 90s for the week I believe. I know how expensive a/c is for most people. I hope you get cooler weather.

@LadyDuck I've been having so many errors on here since last Friday and am sick of it! I just took a break from the madness to visit the kitties and then decided to weed a little bit. I felt the sun burning into me. It's so strong. And here I am once again! Stay cool and relax.

I normally like the summer but this year it is way too hot and humid. It's been this way since the middle of what was supposed to be spring. We don't usually get humid weather until August. Since I've gotten older, I don't like to sweat and every time I go outside lately, I start sweating.

@aninditasen Not at all. It's not heavy weigh wise. It's down and rather soft and light. What I meant by heavy is that it is warm against the fridge cold.

That looks like it could be a down coat in the picture. I would rather have hot weather in December than winter. The rain we need so cannot rule that out. I am so glad you have the kitties close by where you can visit them and talk to them.

@DianneN If you're staying north this winter, hopefully we will get another mild winter.

It's not the hottest it can be here - yet. I suspect that will happen next month for us . That being said, I'd rather be in the heat than be frozen too. It's weird, but ever since that skiing trip when I got sick back in January, I seem to be extra sensitive to the cold. You've just about been everywhere in the world!!!

@DianneN I actually love a winter scenery . . . and I like being in it - for maybe 2 seconds . I used to like "cold" during my rink days - but maybe because I was there every day and got acclimated to that environment. But not anymore. I would normally want to be barefoot all day - but I just want socks on my feet - even when I go to sleep - and I absolutely hate a draft when going to sleep. It's very toasty outside, but it's comfortable inside (I will be working outside in a few though).
Right - it's a travel dent at the moment. Right now we watch the travel shows and dream .

I'm sure we will have much worse weather coming up, but as you said, I'd rather be toasty warm than in bitter cold. I remember your trip in January when you got sick. I can dress properly to keep warm, but it's the entire package of snow, ice, freezing winds, gray skies, bare trees, etc. that is nasty, nasty, nasty! At least you live in the best climate one can live in.
I've had my share of travel, but the virus and terrorism has put a huge dent in the places I still want to visit. It's a big, beautiful world we live in.

Back in the day, I would lay-out and go to the tanning bed. Yes, I like hot weather. But, a nice cool breeze too.

I like to enjoy every season while I can because I feel they have their own plus For instance, without the cold, we wouldn't have known that Dianne looks so chic in her jacket!
