Heat and cooling

Well it has been hot and Yes, I know it is summer. We had a pedestal fan that we were going to use in the caravan on our travels but then warren decided to buy a tower fan that would swing. Yep, it was okay and cooled things down but to sleep at night it needed to be raised while we were in bed.

Yesterday before we went to visit Rob, we wanted to call in to a Bunnings as we were going to buy them a Bunnings card as their Christmas present (and a pedestal fan). Last time we talked to Rob, they did not have any cooling so the tower fan would be going to good use. Lots of fans at different sizes and then we saw this.

An evaporative cooler  It was about twice the price of the fan and they didn't have what we wanted anyway but it is almost like having an A/C and it is very quiet.

It does take up more space but I am happy for it to travel in the back of the car if need be. 

I did my accounting tonight while Warren laughed at me and happy to record that I am under budget (cooler wasn't included but takeaway fish and chips was). Weeks expenditure was $682.48!!! Of course we didn't buy any food for the week as we brought it all from home, will need to do some shopping and washing tomorrow.

It was take away tonight as the chicken that I took out of the freezer for dinner was still frozen solid with no microwave to thaw it, there was a problem. Warren was given a choice, fish and chips or tinned food, he didnt answer just started looking up the nearest chippie haha.

At $18, it was not the cheapest but it was very tasty, large pieces of barramundi and crispy chips which we couldnt eat all of them.
