For all you folks that are moving or will move in...
Vacuum seal bags are your best friend. Seriously, I’m in love. I just vacuum sealed a queen sized duvet, 2 bed sheets, and 2 pillows in one large bag. I still have 3/4 of room left in my luggage. I know, it’s a beautiful thing. The sound of air rustling through the vacuum tube and the sight of its decreasing volume makes my heart tingle.

My mental thermometer is wack
I always check the weather after I get off work, and right now is -23C. The first thought that popped into my head was “Oh! So warm!” Trust me, you’d react the same way if the night before was -44C.

ninefruits replied to your post: doctom666 replied to your post: coffeecarafe… It’s actually snowing in areas of Victoria today. And is wet and windy and 15 in Melbourne. Tomorrow will probably be 35 though. You’ll get used to the ridiculous changes in weather. :) Then I will adapt smoothly to Melbourne weather considering Calgary is the same with variability!
