We have had some lovely weather here – lots of rain and storms (thunder and lightning) and some lovely sunny days as well. The air conditioner in the living area has also been having a bit of a workout. When it’s on M Kaz closes the door to the wc, the bathroom, my bedroom, mostly closes the door to the laundry (and the Outback … I can just shimmy through) and opens one of the doors to the hall cupboard … all to decrease the size of the area the air conditioning is itcooling. It does seem to work as well because the areas outside the cooling zone are a bit warmer.
Sooz is still running the air conditioner in the bedroom, and the ceiling fan and the Vornado fan (some days). M Kaz was telling M Sooz about the personal/handheld fan she saw at Harvey Norman which when you blow it on your face gives the same face-flapping effect as when someone is parachuting out of a plane. It has slower speeds as well if you just want to be like a dog hanging its head out of a car window. It may be something M Kaz keeps an eye out for in the Black Friday sales in a couple of weeks … I think she would buy it for M Sooz (she really does feel the heat) if she didn’t have to pay the full price of $129.
M Kaz has started moving boxes into the house … there is a small one and a big one at this point – but not so big that M Kaz can’t move the big one – although she did wheel it in on the trolley. I believe she bought the boxes (and the other three big ones in the garage) from IKEA and she’s going to build whatever’s in them. Flat packs. That’s what she called them. But one of them isn’t so flat anymore thanks to my excellent efforts as an apprentice/helper. Who knew she was going to make something that flat into a stool – or is it a small table? I can’t wait to see what she does with the big box and what she makes out of that one (and the other three in the garage if they are the same).
