Winter weather
It finally started feeling kind of like winter this week to me! I finally got out my wool coat and my gloves, and had to wear something more than shorts and a t-shirt for running outside. Monday night, José (my roommate's boyfriend, who's lived in Sevilla all his life and has never seen snow) announced it was going to start being cold the next day: high of 14. Of course I had to convert that to Fahrenheit since I'm still not good with Celsius - that's a high of 57˚ F. I know, life is tough here. :) Lows are into the 40s (F) now though, plus it's pretty humid here, which makes it feel colder…humidity in the winter is definitely a strange sensation for me. The lab has heating thankfully, but our apartment doesn't (like most apartments here), so it gets pretty chilly. The way we deal with this is slippers, space heaters, and an awesome table that has a space heater under it and a blanket that goes over the table and your legs. :)

That table sounds like an amazing invention! :) We had our first snow yesterday. Nothing like Minnesota, but it was still beautiful to see a white carpet covering the lawn this morning. I'm glad you were able to have a wonderful Thanksgiving with some American classics.
ReplyDeleteAw that does sound beautiful! And I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving too, I saw the pictures on your blog. :)
DeleteWait, Japan has those too! They're called kotatsu, and I totally thought they were just a Japan thing.
ReplyDeleteawesome! yeah, I don't know why no one has them in the US! :)
DeleteGlad to hear you're keeping warm in your piso :) can't imagine what it's like to have humid cold since at Carleton it's always really dry and cold-- to say nothing of desert winters here in NM >_< lately it's been in the mid-60s. i went for a walk today in a t-shirt and it got sweaty :P Sending you sunshine!
ReplyDeleteThanks! sitting at the heated table as we speak. :) I hope you're enjoying break!!
