      Oh yeah, you’ve just reminded me, when we lived in the country, we used to wet our heads under cold water and sleep with a wet pillowcase or towel on our neck/head. We had a long hair cat for a while, and on the super hot days we used to give it a bath in lukewarm water to stop it from getting too hot

        I rub the cats down with ice cubes. Some like this more than others. Have you got any of those first aid hot/cold gel things? A frozen one of those on your head or neck looks dorky but feels amazing.

          No first aid kit as yet, but once I settle in and have the super essentials sorted, I’ll buy a fire extinguisher and first aid kit

            May I recommend a super basic sewing kit too? You’ll save a shit ton of money if you can do basic clothing repairs. And a hammer.

                A cheap tool set would cover a lot of bases and provide a storage box

                Pretty sure he builds computers, so that and screwdrivers are likely covered already

                  There’s a couple of things not involved with computers that are a PITA to not have when needed. (If he doesn’t.)

                  The $21 one looks good for bare minimum and would probably be enough to handle IKEA furniture. But I got the $55 one to have tape measure, needle nose pliers, socket set etc. Just to avoid suddenly needing something later then having it float around loose.

                    A nice array, (the tools are rubbish, but that’s not the point right now) 100% want a shifter.
