Gosh! Out here on the east coast it's cool- but no big deal. I was quite comfortable in a windbreaker. It must be terrible living in outback as so many of you do.
 
The Outback has it variants ... consider flayed Kaye an gurus ...

Sometimes they are nailed to the bairn wails (Wahls) cover-ups? Sometimes we get through it ...
 
Winter is here. Highs finally below zero and squall alerts for most of Southern and Central Ontario starting later today. No White Walkers sighted yet, though.
 
Warmer here as only -10F! But the wind is stronger. Paper off to the printer adn I can putter or rest today.
 
Some LAST thoughts about the wearing of animals -

Our family has a two fur coats in female styling. The animals who provided the fur died in the early years of the last century and in the early 1930's. Both coats have been worn most years since they were made, being passed down from family member to family member to be enjoyed on those bitterly cold days. Are they fashionable - nope. Does anyone care about that at close to -40? Nope.

When these coats disintegrate sufficiently to have to be discarded as useless they will show their true value by being totally biodegradable. That cannot be said by the many more fashionable but less warm coats the involved ladies have tossed out over all those years!

Humans weren't designed to show all their parts all the time!

Just out of curiosity...what kind of furs?
 
I have a short fur coat-bought from a church sale-wore it-mainly to church f (and sometimes halloween) for about 10 years. Now my plan is to someday make a teddy bear.

I also have a parka with the hood trimmed with real fur. It does make a difference when it is really cold. I also own a pair of mitts made of wolf. Given the mild temperatures here I have not worn the parka or wolf mitts.
 
I need something like fur mitts - hands get so cold...when it's really bad, I borrow mom's sheepskin mitts.
 
Received another package from Revenue Canada - same forms as I filled out before and returned and no indication that I made a mistake with the other forms and need to do again so I have no idea what is going on, and phoning doesn't help as no one else seems to know either.
 
That's a dislike not a like.

You may enjoy my story about Revenue Canada. Many years ago, I worked (pretty briefly - it was a very poor match) for a CA firm. One of the partners always dictated his letters to Rev Canada with the salutation "Dear Sirs:" I kept on resolutely changing it to "Dear Sirs/Mesdames". He always made me re-type them with his sirs put back in. One day, I finally said to him, "OK, uncle. You and I both know that a large proportion of the people who work for Rev Canada are a**holes. If you'd like to think they're all male, you go for it."

And that's a like for the story. :)
 
The fur coats are made of muskrat and something else that an older family member called Persian lamb. It is quite thick, dark brown, looks a bit like it had a shave leaving the individual hairs quite long. I thought that Persian lambs had curly coats - but, for sure, I'm no expert!

I should probably be offended given that Dad worked for them for like 30 years or something (he was, of course, not in the "large proportion"). However, I have a vague inkling he might have agreed with your sentiment.
 
Promising plenty of snow overnight and tomorrow. Maybe enough for a snow day, and I'd already booked a vacation day, because three days of winter semester registration wears me out...
