Time to start closing the windows, freezing the ice blocks, and preparing the fans (or wallet if you've got proper air conditioning)!

G'day kits! I am too. Much >:(

This arvo I'm doing coffee and momo lunch with the old LT. Then, I'm probably going to sleep

Tomorrow is a busyish day. Packing to do, and boxes to deliver. 2 meetings. Also gotta grab a couple of last minute prezzies (which at this point are going to be blocks of chocolate). Then I'll have about half an hour to refresh and take the shower I'm sure I'll absolutely need before class time. Last class of the year, but also our last class on legal and ethical. Belgh. Big unit, not much time to cover or talk about most of it

What's your plans?

Also, make sure you set your aircon to cold mode and not auto, if you're using a splitty. Don't want it actually heating up the place before it hits 26!

Coffee and momo, like Nepalese momos? Yum! Bad day to have to do so much packing and meeting, make sure you have lots of water and keep those chocolate blocks cool! Good thing you don't need to do the whole switch-your-fridge-off-for-24-hrs bizzo as I presume you're getting your own fridge at the new place. You'll get through that class without a problem and feel heaps better on the other end of it, I'm sure!

My aircon is a splitty but doesn't have an auto mode - most I've used don't, you must manually switch it from cooling to heating or vice versa. My aunt in WA had this problem with the heatwave they'd just had, it was a tad moist and their evap cooler was useless and they were panicking over their splitty not working despite being recently serviced... turns out they'd left it set on heating. D'oh. Just 75yo things.

Yes! The old LTs boyfriend is Nepalese, and both of them go mad for momos. He (or probably both of them I guess) used to make their own momos at home, but are a bit time poor these days. Definitely gotta watch the water, I'm usually okay at keeping up on water intake but sometimes it's hard when it's busy busy. Not super sure I'll have a particularly good class, everybody's feeling pretty exhausted, and leg-eth is a tiring unit that's for sure

That's good, ours has an auto mode and everybody loved it until we all realized it means if it cools down by 1 degrees more than it was told to, it kicks the heating on and boils everyone til it's a degree over ๐Ÿ™„
