You are right, I should actually create a default response - I have the 3 second rule for dropped food, so I guess it will have to be above that :D

I think it is more mental space - I should write more :)

Air-con will go in, but it will be in the fall at the earliest, so won't be very useful by then. Though @galenkp and Faith will be happy next summer.

Get that AC in! I almost died last time in those blistering Finnish heatwave days of 30 degrees!

Should be well and truly in by then - but let's see where you will sleep ;D

Lol. Basement.

The coolest area by far at the moment. Not even the dirtiest.

I'll take it, as long as the little knucklehead can get down there and wake me up each day...Around 9:30am.

all good until the wake up time.

Ry, I can confirm that AC will be installed...Or G-dog will melt!

In 30C? Don't come over here in summer then XD

Although having said that all our hot summers seem to have bailed out over east and we've only been getting half-arse summers.

In 30C?

Their houses are triple glazed and often the bedrooms don't have opening windows. A week of 30 degree days in a row and no airflow makes for a very hot interior. It was the same in the UK on the same trip...No air flow in a thatched roof converted barn B&B doesn't make for pleasing sleeping conditions. I think you might need to experience yourself to fully understand my comment.

Also, everyone is different. I get hot if it's over 22. In South Australia we often have 45-47...But with air conditioning it is tolerable.

Good luck finding air con in the UK you would be lucky to even get a fan, if our properties were cool in the summer what be able to moan about, us Brits love to suffer and tell all and sundry about it.

As I said, there was none. I ended up buying a fan at Tesco and using that until we left. We left the fan at the last place we stayed as we were flying to Finland. My brother ended up hooking me up with a fan there, but it was so bloody hot regardless. We get very hot temps here, but it's tolerable with Ac or fans...No fans, no air movement, doesn't make for a very happy G-dog.

Ah yes, you poms have a reputation for whinging. After going through a summer there, I get it. Lol. I was a whinging Aussie.

Iv'e never heard a Aussie say that about us, haha. I'm not a fan (excuse pun) of AC but if it wasn't for the spinning sick in the corner of the room I would wilt away, 35+ today and really humid.

Lol, come down here mate. You will, although now the country is so multicultural, maybe not. I think it started froma cricket rivalry, and went from there.

Fans are essential in humidity. I lived in Cairns for a while (FNQ) and I would be dead if not for fans.

And now I understand everything.

Well not so much the triple-glazed windows as I don't think we have too m any of those here, I have previously lived in houses that were hotboxes in summer (and this was when it was nice balmly tropical weather and not even summer proper).

Did you take our summer weather and add it to your own? That temperature is slightly obscene.

Adelaide always gets Perth weather as that's the way the wind blows. So we know what we're going to get a couple day prior, unless a front pushes up from the south.
