You're going from coastal to inland. Different climates. Melbourne, where the idiot lives, and hobart, are both coastal. the difference in weather is a couple of degrees colder in winter. Whoop di doo.

A lot more difference when you're 2600 kms away

I agree with you about Monk and Bobby only living 500km apart and therefore have similar weather patterns. But, Monk would be copping the roaring 40s moreso than Bobby in Melbourne.

Try comparing Rockhampton and Ipswich in Qld locations. Both centres are inland by 50km. But Ipswich would cop colder weather sooner, more frequently, and ends later than Rockhampton.

Monk is right inside the roaring 40s.

Hobart is about 43 degrees South so
it gets the Antarctic circumpolar winds.

Hobart is 750km from Melbourne.
Melbourne has a latitude of 38 degrees South.

Bobby, you only live 2 degrees outside the roaring 40s. And watching those frontal systems reach both Tasmania and Victoria each week on Bureau of Meteorology videos, I don't see how you have any reason to say much about Monk's dog.

I notice those southerly winds would bring you rain and cold. By the time those southerly winds reach us up here, they are cold and dry winds. Both you and Monk suffer from the same weather patterns. Just 5 degrees latitude apart.

Geez, even my parents' dogs get cold at night when they are told to go outside. But, much like my parents' dogs, I bet Socks gets wrapped up in a dog coat, and given a nice warm place to sleep.

It's cold enough in Melbourne -
Hobart is a lot colder.
I was there one November -
with clear skies it was only nice to go outside
between about 11am and 2 pm.
It was 4 degrees at night.
It even snowed outside Hobart a few days after I left.
They even get a white Xmas sometimes -
yes - snow in summer!

Socks needs a nice blanket.
I bet she sleeps on Monk's bed ? -
dogs complain when they get cold.

Socks is mostly a staghound—formed by crossing a greyhound with a Scottish deerhound. As well as that Socks has some genes from an entirely different breed, possibly American Staffordshire—her head is entirely unhound like.

She is a very beautiful dog. Every person who sees her says so.

She runs like the wind!

In live about 400Km south of Melbourne. Days have been nice, invigorating! Close enough to the ocean it doesn’t get as cold as the altitude would suggest. I don’t live on the west coast.

👆 It’s impossible to sleep when you’re freezing. No matter what time it is OR how tired and old you are. Obviously 😳

I find it easier to sleep during the freezing cold than it is during the stinking hot nights. Freezing cold nights only need you to have the windows shut. You can have some citronella tea lights lit in your bedroom a few hours earlier to warm the room. The blanket to cover you. But, hot nights, you can have the windows open and the fan blaring away. However, you fall asleep from exhaustion.

I must be like Goldilocks....I like the temperature to be neither too hot nor too cold.

Note : My earlier post was directed at Monk who’s old and gets online at around 4.30 am in Winter to post on OzPol.

I stayed up watching a movie last night. I was asleep by 5:30am and was awake by 11:40 when my alarm went off. I have not slept so well in a long time. I remember the rain coming down for a few minutes before I had drifted off to sleep. Neither hot or cold.

I cannot see how anyone over the age of 60 would really want to be up in the cold weather, just to post online. If it is 10°C outside at 4 in the morning, I just say "Get ****ed" and pull the doona over me. Nothing is going to happen until I see that sunshine.

Speaking from experience there Larry? Drugs taken so much of your Centerlink payments?

Most people have sheets, blankets, doonas etc to sleep comfortably above 0°C.

PS Larry,

I have also bought firewood, kindling, firelighters, matches to be able to light a fire in the fireplace and also electric heaters when I have no cut firewood. You are a dill, a real nutcase.

When you get a bit older you need less sleep and sleep can be more irregular. Larry, who is pushing 80 or is 80yo now, knows this quite well.

Well, I remember being 17 years old and needing to have 9 hours sleep. By the next year, I was doing nightshift that lasted until 2am in the morning. Boy, did I suffer in those times. But, I got accustomed to 7 hours sleep. In my 30s, I found that I only needed 6 hours of sleep to function. One day, I went to work after having only 3 hours sleep the night before. I thought I would make it through the night. But, 2 hours into the shift, I had to go to the toilet. I went and sat on the toilet room and snoozed for 3 minutes. It was enough sleep to get me through the rest of my shift.
