I know it's 5 o'clock somewhere. What about Friday? That would really help today. ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm writing this from the most easterly country west of the dateline. Time zone GMT+12. It will be Friday here before anywhere else. It's still Wednesday.

    Getting colder by the day. I need my car heater for the drive to work.

    Depends on the island but most places will get over 25C in the summer on some days. In the winter the southern and high altitude parts get to 0 or maybe a few degrees into the negative. The north usually doesn't go below 9C.

    When I was a boy and walking to the bus stop in winter to get to school, I used to stomp on frozen puddles to break the skin of ice. They don't freeze any more.

    Where I'm from we have a major river flowing through the heart of our city and we turn it into a frozen ice rink every Winter. Works great until the windchill hits the minus forties or fifties, then it's time to stay inside with a nice cup of hot tea

    It's not great until I read news from anywhere that isn't Norway / Sweden / Finland and then I remember that it's actually pretty great here. It's very rare to have catastrophic events of any kind. The weather never gets too bad, and when it's good it's very good. There's inconveniences but they are usually the result of upsides so it's hard to complain.
