The weather here is often in the eighties (even nineties) in the middle
of winter and the rest of the year suits me too and I have so many vices
and
things that I want to do. Like paint the house (never have painted one).

**Painting a house isn't all it's cracked up to be. I have a two story with
a 9 in 12 roof pitch. At the gable ends it's almost equivalent to a 3 story.
I had to buy an expensive 36 foot extension ladder just so I could get up
there, and I didn't like it much. If you want to paint a house, I'll be due
next year. ***

You really ought to treat yourself if you are going to have lonely winters
like that!
