there are some advantages to living in Bakers Hill - aircon til 12 ish. Cool enough to sleep with no fan after that.

I don't think i feel the heat any more... working in a restaurant kitchen for 10 hours a day kinda numbs your feeling of hot and cold :)
I slept like a rock, no hassle at all. Fan on and window open only. I think I even snuggled up in my doona....

It costs much less to keep a house cool than to cool it down. Don't fret about leaving it on. I note they are telling people to turn on A/C early now not when it gets hot. About time.

Good point, that makes sense, it's a wonder someone didn't highlight it before.
