Winters chill in canada..
Here I was in canada, toronto to be exact, spending some time with family. The early days of what I consider winter started to kick in. Here was this tropical Queenslander, who's used to 8 months worth of summer a year. When my winters can sometimes get cold, but usually they are roughly 20c in the day and 5-10c over night. Not so bad when you compare it to the rest of the world.
I woke up this morning at about 9am, My uncle and aunt had both shot off to work. I slowly got out of bed and helped myself to breakfeast. Munching away about 10mins into my fine prepare breaky as us aussie would say. I get a phone call. Its my aunt, she tells me that she left an important document outside, out the back of the house.
Now, to paint the picture of exactly what I was wearing. t-shirt and shorts. It was a nice 25c inside the house, thanks to the climate control. So you can imagine what happen next. Half dazed and sleepy, I listen to my aunt, who I really not once thought capable to play a joke on myself. So I nod on the phone like she can see me and I open the back door and start searching. Meanwhile, shes on the phone directiing to where this item can be found.. I keep saying no, its not there either.. Meanwhile, I'm freezing my arse.. 10mins goes by and somehow I'm out in the middle of the back yard in my shorts and t-shirt in -2c degrees. My aunt, who I feel butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, then asks me, what am I wearing. I tell her " t-shirt and shorts" shes then asks me whats the coldest I've ever been in outside in t-shirt and shorts. I said I don't know, but this has to be the closest too it right now.. She begins to laugh and tells me, its roughly -2 degrees and that now I can tell everyone that I've experenced some cold. Then she hangs up. Leaving me high and dry freezing out in the back yard with a shock expression on face thinking, wtf!! I've just been set up.. racing back inside and calling her work number and only getting voice mail. My friends I was played a fool that day. But, it made me laugh. It also made me think, I could never trust my Aunty again!!!
