The mind boggles.  I am one of those ignorant
Americans (I'm not being sarcastic; I am genuinely
embarrassed about my ignorance) who has trouble
converting Celcius to Farenheit and metric to
English... However, that said (and keeping in mind
that it's going to be warmer inside the bag than out
of it) How does one get the temperature of a sheepskin
inside a bag at 80C/460F?  My non-scientific mind
envisions cinders, at best.

Sorry to have irritated you.
Turn the 0 from 80 and 460 to a degree-sign, so you get the temperature I would like to tell. It seems to be a troublemaker in the software for keyboard usage, for the degree-sign seems to be an extraordinary one for Germany (or Europe) that you don't have and your software uses the 0 instead. And with this temperature I mean +8C air temperature taken outside our house (not in the bag) and want to be kind and tell the native speaker of this list the temperature in Farenheit, that is +46F.

As for your English, it's wonderful.  I don't have
time to post much, but I enjoy lurking.
Thank you. :)

unseasonably warm for November but only up to the 80s
(Farenheit, that is).
