Stuff that is different and makes us cold

The last posting opened with a side comment about the unusually warm winter we’ve had this year in Morocco. Why, then, as I sit around the apartment doing Arabic homework, am I wearing fleece pants, wool socks, leg warmers, a long-sleeved shirt, sweatshirt, fleece, hooded down jacket and a hat? It’s due to a little something we like to call lack of indoor heating.
