slept like a baby

Hmmm that is such a dumb saying. Babies wake up every 4 hours to wail.

Anyway, I slept really well last night. Lately I would wake in the middle of the night with my feet feeling terribly cold. On one night I even resorted to taking a hot water bottle back to bed with me. But last night I put an extra blanket on the bed and slep through in blissful comfort. This morning I feel wonderful, thanks to the uninterrupted slumber.

I know the nighttime temperature here is not really cold. 13°C (16°F) is not cold compared to how cold it gets in Melbourne or many places in the northern hemisphere, but after spending a while in sunny Queensland it sure feels cold. I'm starting to worry a little about how I'll handle the heat of summer. At least in winter you can pile more clothes and blankets on and exercise to warm up. In summer there is a limit to how much you can take off. When you're completely naked and still too hot... oh brother! Some trepidation here.

Friend of a friend recommends soaking bedsocks in cold water on really hot nights, wringing them out well, and wearing them to bed. She swears it helps, but she is also a fanatical bedsock wearer.
Personally, I would worry about footrot, or something.
I have taken cold flannels to bed on cold nights before now, and they end up squashed under me, and a nice wet patch to sleep in - one that I didn't create in an interesting manner.

Heheheheh :D
I just might try that.... with some plastic over the end of the bed to protect it.
Thanks. :)
