    Currently 31° outside, and 27.7° inside. I set myself up for failure because I went to sleep with my window open and it was both 25 inside and outside by the time I woke up

    I have to go back to the old place today to vacuum and grab my cleaning supplies and such. After that, it’ll probably be about 30° inside. I’ve got some ice blocks in the freezer (but don’t currently have an ice cube tray), so I’m gonna find a way to suspend those behind the high velocity fan to try and get some cooling happening. Or maybe I could put them in a big bowl with some water and that might be a bit more efficient

    Gotta hand the keys back after I finish up today. Then my move will be finalized. Spooky. Unfortunately my parcel hasn’t moved from Dandenong South yet, so I do find it unlikely that it arrives today. Hopefully tomorrow.

      A more efficient way might be to dampen some breathable material and put it over the fan. Just make sure the material won’t get caught in the blades. Is a similar idea to the Coolgardie safe

      Spray bottle with some cold water and a fan works wonders! even just a cold wet facewasher on the forehead or neck.

        Yep! I bought a misting fan from Kmart last week. Just need to buy a few batts for it, because of course with all the chaos I have no clue where the gigantic hoard of batteries I have are

        We used to do wet pillowcases. I don’t know why pillowcases specifically, but that’s what we always did
