What's the weather like where you are?

@Dave L I liked the comedy reference...:)

I guess indoor exercises are inevitable at some times of the year in some climates...

I thank God for this great benefit of having my own gym and the will to use it. I like getting out on a bike in summer but this indoor workout helps keep spirits high.

We too have a basement with an exercise bike...my fault is that I should use it more... :)

I found that if it's right there in plain sight, you'll be more apt to use it. My living room is a full blown gym. And my treadmill is within reach as I type this.

...but I guess that all you guys around Florida,the Gulf of Mexico, etc., don't even know what we are talking about here, as we freeze...:)

Practicality in plain sight: yes indeed.

Eyesore in front of house guests: yes also... :

People are more accustomed to alternate furniture schemes. And they usually spend a little time experimenting with the machines. We have other space where we use furniture sparingly and socialize.

Well, the anthropologist (not really...!) in me kind of makes me wonder whether the spacial radiation of an exercise bike in our living room would give guests a signal to a dynamism that we really don't honestly have... :)

Well, further north in the Province is indeed Polar Bear Provincial Park....

Hi Farouk, thanks. I google the park, only a few words, better you than me... :).

I see it's only accessible by air. saw some pictures, wide open.


be blessed and stay warm up there.

A reprieve from the snow here, but we had extremely cold temperatures and a dumping in recent days.

 

[farouk]

Another very cold day...although the sun was peaking through... :)

I wish I had shares in the Qantas long-haul division...

Today we had snow...but thankfully it is still only zero.

No way could I handle your weather @brakelite Give me zero here any day. I 'like' 24C I think that is around 73 / 4 F I forget. More than that and I get uncomfortable.

I might agree with you...during the Canadian summer, not during the Canadian winter...

Yep, I get that. When I left NZ I had never experienced anything over 35...last summer it hit 42 (107) here and I went out and mowed the lawns. Love the heat! But I guess we all get acclimatised somewhat...but I couldn't wait to get here and escape the winter frosts and ice chill in the wind.

Next, try the Torres Straits, QLD, Sir... :)

Pretty blah. It's typically 5-10 C here in BC Canada
