I just caught her turning the heating to 24c on constant, Soviet flats have heating on during the night even now, she still can't accept it's normal for heating to go off in the night. We have duvets!
She's from Urals, -35c some nights, yet her flat was freaking hot even then, I had to open the window, with a real proper can't see two feet blizzard outside....
I loved it! -35c in Urals felt warmer than 0c at Heathrow when I got back, damp cold, miserable....
Does she ever take her clothes off? Or, as AtW says, do you spend most of the time on your sofa?
Give it time and then she will change. Then she'll be a Korma Chameleon.....

I'm going Thai next time, sick of beetroot and cabbage. She's been here 11 years and hasn't ventured beyond a korma. Her mother came over in November and found Chicken Korma too hot. To be fair our takeaway does put a fair bit of chilli in it but still....

I had you down as a Ruskie immigrant - are you a native of the UK?
I am, born in Bolton where Suity is working.
I was a bit of a Commie in the late seventies, (CPGB!!) and visited Russia Soviet and post Soviet times, studied the language, forgot a lot of it over time, went back for a trip on the Transsiberian, met a girl on it, and here we both are, not married so she's not a Mail Order Bride lol!
