Hello everyone, here I am on this hot Friday afternoon sitting and thinking about well nothing much my mind has been all over the pale I thought about how when I was younger, I wasn’t bothered by the heat and how I think that is part of aging. As a child I was outside in the stinking heat all day and we didn’t have air conditioning.
I think we got an air conditioner sometime in the mid 1970’s we had a large window unit in the loungeroom and at night it would be left on with the hallway door open as well as bedroom doors to try and cool the rest of the house down. At some point my parents got an air con for their bedroom as dad did shift work and it made it easier for him to sleep during the day.
I also remember when my parents bought a pool a large above ground pool, which I loved and spent a lot of time in. I remember the day dad with my uncle John took it apart as were moving to a larger house this was back in May 1980, after we moved dad worked on the new yard and put the pool back together again. We had that pool a long time I can’t remember when dad finally took it down and tossed it.
I can also remember when my parents go air conditioning in the car it wasn’t factory fitted but an added extra this was also sometime in the 1970’s.

I’m here fanning myself with a piece of paper – I can’t remember a plug-in AC for the car, it sounds fancy – we just had to open the window… unless it was too dusty, then you just melted and stuck to the vinyl seats and pulled yourself off when you arrived (it always felt like you r skin would tear!) Sending cool vibes your way, L xx
