That would be the most enjoyment I ever got out of broccoli!
And indeed! We are an AC free nation. Of course, until recently summer was never hot enough to warrant it, but the new genuine heatwaves have been an ordeal.
No air conditioning in a heatwave tips:
Keep the windows shut and curtains closed all day, then open them at night as soon as it's less hot outside. I feel sorry for people with the windows open when it's 40C outside.
Put a container of ice behind the fan. The ice chills the air as it's drawn through the fan, making it much much better. I have trays of ice on the go constantly.
Keep cold water in the bathtub and take a plunge to cool down whenever it's too much.
