Well it's kinda funny that Mixy has been giving us a long lecture about
how backward Europeans are in not installing a/c, and then it turns out
he has been running his own unit on a pleasantly cool day.
It's a bit like Howard Hughes giving tips on personal hygiene.

I was told by my dentist that they are only allowed to use cold water
straight out of the main, because of the risk of Legionnaires disease
if they use warm water. It's painful at this time of year.

I was just thinking that Howard Hughes started degenerating in much
the same way as Mixi is doing now.

It will need more than 10 days above 25DegC a year before I install
air-conditioning.

Is there a major US actor who has not played a military person?
Even the number of actresses is declining!
