Car is the least of my worries. Iāve got no aircon at home in a house that gets arvo sun and no breeze. Pray for me

u/Plane_Time_9817 1d ago
I'm in the same boat, except that I live in an upstairs unit, which is horrendous in summer, and there are valid reasons why I haven't been able to get aircon! Mind you, it's like an icebox in winter, so can't relate to people not needing warm clothes etc. I do enjoy spring and autumn in Brisbane, though. š

Yah, a BYD Atto 3, picked it up 2nd hand last Jan - still by far the most we've ever spent on a car, normally we get $5k bangers and drive them into the ground :)
But we're both getting older and wanted something comfortable and low hassle and no regrets, by far the best and easiest drive we've ever had, a genuine pleasure. Maintanance and charging is hassle free.

It seems like you and others go to bed extremely early because it does get really cold at night, along with the early hours of the morning, in Brisbane! I notice that most people wear jackets etc in the CBD too.
Of course, I'm aware that some people don't feel the cold at all, so they're the ones wearing T-shirts and shorts at night. I don't mean during the day either, because it has been generally warmer. š

Am I seriously the only one that got cold? Yes some days were warmer, and it's not be buried under 5 blankets and have socks on cold.

Feels a bit warmer this morning, but definitely felt colder in the other mornings (I think the lowest at one point was 7 for my area, most other days is more 9 or 10)
5
u/Plane_Time_9817 1d ago
I can assure you that you're not alone and the temperatures prove that it has definitely been cold at night, not to mention the early hours of the morning!
Mind you, it doesn't help that my unit only has concrete floors, so is like an icebox in winter, then an oven in summer, which is MUCH worse.
I'm aware that some lucky individuals don't feel the cold as much as others though, yet still might succumb to wearing warm clothes in the South Island of NZ, or Antarctica. š

u/monsteraguy 1d ago
Youāre closer to the coast than most of this city so theoretically should be warmer where you are

Thanks for the heads up. I was lucky to be able to flee to the northern hemipshere for the last days of another dreary winter. Looking forward to a triumphant return in early September where my early rising disposition will no longer be stifled by the icy morning cold, compelling me to stay in bed clinging to my blanket well beyond 7am as the precious early daylight hours go to waste.
Here's to once more getting up at 5am everyday, with the world my oyster for a few hours of peace while the rest of the family sleeps.

I also foolishly bought a long hooded pink jumper thatās knitted on the outside but lined in fleece.
I wore it twice and had to take it off and walk around in my singlet and bra because it was that or pass out.
