Well look at Mr Money Bags over here with access to clean water.

A cold house at that! Where I am it's 30 degrees C in September and everything's on fire so you can't even open the windows. I'd love to be in a cold house right now.

The cold is legit pretty nice. The cold is such an infinitely easier problem to fix than warmth, you can just put a coat on or use something like an electric blanket (or central heating but in Europe that is not affordable atm lol) and the issue is entirely solved.

I tend to run pretty hot anyway, so anything over about 25C means I don't function very well lol. And here it's been over 25C since about the end of May so I'm really looking forward to the winter at this point.

Same, at 20c I begin to be a little uncomfortable and at 25-30c is torture lol. Luckily this has actually been a pretty mild summer here even though I know it's been bad in most of the rest of the world. The weather must have decided we deserve a break because we had our all time hottest temp in the UK last year at about 40.5c in some parts of the country.
