How do you cope with the heat (or not)?
Really don't like the heat. Once it gets above about 22-23 degrees I start to get uncomfortable.
Living in the SE, (Kent) we do tend to get the worst of the heat, along with the South Coast and the SW.
My model making area is our small back bedroom, which gets full sun from about 2pm onwards, so gets quite hot.
We have a relatively new house (8 years old) so its very well insulated, which is great for winter, but once the house gets hot during the day in summer, it keeps hold of that heat for hours, and upstairs is usually hotter than downstairs, (heat rises, etc).
No we don't have air con, apart from a large portable one downstairs (which has to be near a window to vent).
I do have a large desk type fan on the window cill, but its a bit old and is quite noisy, plus it just blows the warm air around really, so not much of a cooling effect IMHO, (a little but not much)!
So the modelling tends to get put on hold for those very hot days, eg: whats forecast for the coming week.....
