I remember our central heating broke down and we had to replace the boiler and how cold it was upstairs in the bedrooms (downstairs we still have an old gas heater though we don't normally use it).

I was waiting in a bus station in february at 8 pm. Even strong engines had problems. Our water system had failed that year due to frost and we had to replace some devices.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of 1970s anything:) I prefer 1940s, the first part of 1960s (before the skirts became too short) and some of 1980s stuff, but I see your point. I think clothes back then were still much more formal and stylish than now and it made the difference. Most of those pants they wore were in nice colours and looked like they needed regular ironing, for instance. Nowadays both sexes mostly wear baggy jeans + oversized t-shirts + some variant of sneakers. Personally it look pathetic to me when I see an elderly lady running around in tennis shoes, it's like she has no money to buy anything decent. I'm not trying to attack poor people, but I doubt most women wear these hideous fashions because they can't afford anything better. It's more mentality than anything else.

Maybe it is just the colours, but it seems to me like their faces were more feminine than faces today? <br /><br />I love the all-white outfit in the fifth picture. Also the wine-red tunic+trousers combination in the last picture. <br /><br />Warning to those more sensitive: there is some skin to be seen and I am afraid none of the ladies wears a bra... I think I would have loved 70's. ;)Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-76743864718741444532016-02-03T07:37:11.185-08:002016-02-03T07:37:11.185-08:00Thanks for the link, Miriam!

I can hardly understand this climate change hysteria: people should remember, that on 17th century it was so cold that sauce froze in the table of Louis XIV. And 500 years earlier, vikings grew grain in GREENLAND. 10 000 years ago Finland was covered with 3 kilometers thick ice. So rather big and quick changes in climate are perfectly normal. Because sun activity and such. <br /><br />Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-27122023886391412762016-02-03T00:24:50.152-08:002016-02-03T00:24:50.152-08:00Linda, Google chooses the language according to wh...Linda, Google chooses the language according to where the blog owner comes from and it can't be adjusted, apparently.

I'm not even sure men can influence the climate to such a degree. Reminds me of rain dances and stuff.

When one month is warmer than normal it usually means that another month will be colder than the average so that the yearly temperature stays basically the same. For instance, last December was much warmer than normal, an average for week 52 is 5.3 but in 2015 it was 11.2, the warmest in 20 years. Yet, the yearly average was colder than 2014. Which makes me think there is a certain pattern in weather.

Last winter the same. 2-3 years ago very frosty but dry and suddenly february came with huge amounts of snow.

When I look at the figures, 2009 appears to mark the beginning of a cooling trend (and we´ve had some pretty cold winters a couple of years ago), but then 2014 goes back to 12 degrees while last year it´s an average of 11 degrees yet again. I wonder if it´s cyclical, like once in a decade you get a warmer year, then a cooler one? Or are there certain decade averages?
