Only my building doesn't have any timber in it, just brick, concrete and very thin window panes. Maybe if it did, it wouldn't have been so darn cold when I get up in the morning!
China has apparently decided to turn off the heat earlier than usual this year (they started it earlier than usual in November due to a big ice storm). Nevermind that the high yesterday was somewhere around 35 degrees Fahrenheit. It's March, right? So that means it's Spring. Spring is warm, even if the thermometer and your body disagree. The government says it's warm, so it's warm!
Now I understand older stories talking about not wanting to get out of bed in the morning because of the cold.
