Camping in the Living Room

Last night, when the temperature barely dropped with the setting of the sun, James and I knew we would have trouble sleeping, because opening the windows in our house would not cool it down in the usual way.

Thankfully, we have an air-conditioner! However it resides in our living room and therefore was no use to us when we wanted to cool our bedroom down last night. So we moved our mattress from our bed to the floor of our living room, blasted the room with lovely cool air, and slept there. It was kinda fun.

We've decided that seeing as we're not going to be having people over in the next week or two over the busy Christmas and New Year's season, we're going to leave the mattress in our living room and sleep there, at least for the rest of the year.

I'm actually half-seriously considering switching our living room with our bedroom. It seems like an impractical idea but that air-conditioner is oh-so-tempting, especially as the temperatures will continue to stay high over the rest of the summer months.
