A fan for a man

OK so we've already talked about this - but it continues to be ridiculously hot out here. Last Friday was our coolest day - at 36 degrees. Even our staff are looking like possums in a bush fire.

Usually we have our only aircon - located in our bedroom - on for up to an hour to help get to sleep. The little fan goes all night, 11 months a year. Recently we've got the aircon going for pretty well half the night or more - and within 20 minutes of turning it off it is just nasty hot again.

I went to give my girl a hug the other night - and got an armful of legs. She had turned around to stick her head hard up to the fan.


What is a bloke to do in this eternal heat-wave? I went out and bought a real fan today. Funny, the things you don't really notice when you buy from a shop with most of its stock on the sidewalk. The propellar blades should have warned me - this machine sounds like an aeroplane on the tarmac - and that is on the low setting! Click her to number 3 and we've definitley got lift-off happening in our sitting room!
