New air conditioning

With the three-day mini-heatwave over, we had our new air conditioner installed today. The workers arrived around 10am and said they’d take a couple of hours, but in reality it was close to three hours of work to get the old unit removed and the new one put in.

The new unit is so much quieter than the old one, it’s astonishing. The old one interfered with things like watching TV, but the new one is so quiet it’s virtually unnoticeable. I suppose upgrading after 20 years was something we should have considered even before the old unit broke. The new unit will use less electricity too.

While they were installing it, I wrote a plan for the older kids’ ethics class this week, on Colonisation. I reused some of the later questions from the younger class on Exploration as the introductory questions for this one and added some more advanced material to the end, so it was quicker than normal.

And in further positive news, my wife is feeling much better after recovering from her illness of the past two days.

Oh! And I got a shipping notification for a Kickstarter project that I backed in… 2015! Yes, they’re actually shipping, 7 years late. A Dungeons & Dragons adventure, so I should still get some use out of it. (My friends asked me if it was something like a USB-1 compatible device or a CD case or something.)
