Yes, I know. I have been in a sub-tropical are for too long. Twenty-five years ago I would wear a Tee shirt when it was cold enough to require de-icing a windscreen before driving. That was in Canberra during winter. In summertime air conditioned buildings here are usually set at twenty-four degrees Celsius, and I find them chilly if I don't have a jacket. We have an air-conditioned house and my wife and I compromise; in the hot days of summer we set it at twenty-nine. (We have a Doona that is twice as thick on my side.)
