Martin's Poll II

Last night, Martin M again polled us. Again, I thought it was a one-on-one thing and gave a very bo-o-o-ring reply. His text query was:

My sister Felina has been texting me the past days re: Baguio's nippy weather. Apparently they hit 9 degrees celsius a few days back. Kainggit!!! Anyway, I sent a random poll via text early this evening. It reads:

"It's rather chilly, shld I wear my cabled cashmere vest, merino wool sweater, or tweed coat? Hmmm..."

Here are some replies :-)
