The mother of all invention

So, I’m a bit embarrassed cause DominiQUE still hasn’t managed to sort out our aircon – and appears to be screening his calls (very annoying).

In the meantime is a bloody hot summer in Johannesburg, and the heat is killing us here at work. You can almost see the heads drooping as the day gets hotter and hotter.

Necessity, as they say, is the mother of all invention. And what we need is some cold air! So Simma came up with a brilliant plan to help us out till we manage to find someone to come fix ours or until the someone we have already found (that would now be my DominiQUE) gets round to doing it.

This is our new aircon. I will admit that it’s not the best design in the world, or the most economic or environmentally friendly – but it works.

It wasn’t long after we commissioned this baby that we started thinking there might be a better way to utilise this space…

And when that worked pretty well, we just sort of went to town on it.

It brings relief in many ways to our hot summer days. I think I might be a little sad to see it go when we have a normal aircon again…
