Ah, time-tested advice - as I write this the windows and curtains are indeed closed on the west side of the house, but it's still hot indoors regardless (a flat roof is to blame).

I'll open the windows in an hour or so (which should at least get it below 30, as there's actually a breeze today), then the air-con's going on again.
I still plan, eventually, to get a "proper" AC unit installed, the type with an outdoor fan. For now, though, I'm still using a portable job. It does an okay job, but it's loud!
