Well it isn't *really* cold but I understand because my Dad who lives in Florida normally was frozen like an icicle all winter long up here in the Northern Tundra of the US. haha. x
I'm not from Queensland and I think it's cold in Sydney tonight. I think the heater will go on. In April!!
I've ordered the book to see if it is better than the film. I thought the film was OK but I felt that like many films based on books there was a sense that a lot of the book probably didn't get covered in the film. It is not for the depressed though, it wasn't a burst into tears movie just one of continuing quiet despair that nothing will change.
I remember our school had a duck race every year (a river ran through the grounds); the first time I saw signs everywhere I had no idea wtf this was about, and also wondered about real ducks until someone filled me in!
Your flat sounds just like my flat - last winter we had an actual breeze... IN THE HALL. Never could find out where it was getting in! That was when I began to worry ever so slightly about our safety; finally and with great reluctance I cranked the heating way up (normally we just heat the room we're in) and figured it was worth the bills to stay alive!
We have many windows and doors and draughts, being at the end of a row of terraces. Suspect the walls are uninsulated as well. Would kill for central heating, just as I'd have killed for airconditioning at the height of summer. Alas, neither are the Done Thing here in Sydney, it seems.
I don't think people get how cold apartments can be. My God, I have never been as cold in England, even during the Big Freeze last year, as I have been in Spain in winter. I feel your pain, bb. Kind of.
At least your sense of humour is intact? *tags* Ahahaha. :D
It's a house! Not an apartment! Albeit a terrace house, which I'm still not fully convinced counts as a real house. Anyway, we're on the corner so exposed on three sides anyway.
It is a bit cold. But I like it. The heat kills me. The doona is on the bed, and I got out a nice mohair shawl to wear ro choir tonight. Maybe you need a mohair throw to wrap yourself in?

Lovely pics and I'm glad you had a good Easter.
Um... what temp is 'cold' down there inquiring minds want to know. Finally, STOP GETTING SICK! <3 as always.

I am not telling you the temp! You will just tell me it isn't really cold! I don't care! IT'S COLD TO ME. *sob*

The book has that same tone of despair as well. Certainly not a cheerful read.
