Shar, I'm curious to know what the humidity gets like there. I lived in three very different climate zones in Canada - Montreal with HOT, very humid summer days (& nights), the Prairies with very hot summers that alternate with high humidity (thunderstorm & tornado weather) or extremely dry windy conditions depending on which way the weather system's coming from, & now back again near Vancouver BC (north of Seattle some) but without a nice ocean breeze, with windless, humid summers that feel much hotter than they are.
I, too, sweat like a horse in summer & do my housework naked with the curtains drawn. But at my job, outside, I have to wear long pants, socks & heavy shoes. The sweat just runs off me there. I feel ill by the time the day's over, no matter how much I drink & even with heavy salting of food. This is going to be the last summer I do this. I don't think I'll survive another working like that.
If I was rich (ha!), I'd live in Sweden in their summer (lovely mild days with 18 or more hours daylight!) & then head to New Zealand for their summer. Anyone want to sponser me?
