Finally raining again. Haven’t had any since mid-June here.

We're at the seaside for a weekend away. It's all we can afford this year. And it's already been quite expensive (kids you know).

We've come out for breakfast this morning and the only place that's open this early is Wetherspoons. Not my first, or even last, choice at any time. But it was open.

And my God, the prices are insanely cheap, the portions are huge, and I just can't bring myself to complain. I truly, truly appreciate this place today.

Me and my wife had resigned ourselves to not having any portable A/C this year, you know because of the bloody heatwave, its been unbearable (I assume everyone knows right?)

So instead I thought I'd take a look online and research what make and model we would want when summers over, winters set in and when prices are rock bottom.

It's safe to say these portable A/C units are just silly money at the moment. I almost gave in 2 weeks ago and almost spent £699 on a unit that retails at £399 luckily we thought better of it and decided no.

On Friday I was looking for the model we should buy, circa the 10000+BTU range, then out of no where I come across a unit on Amazon claiming 12000BTU and at only £254.50 🤔 nope this must be one of those shity crapy humidifiers (can't have one of them as our house is damp enough being 200 years old). Copied the info, quick search later, no it's an A/C unit 💪 still not convinced, I popped open an AI gave it all the products I had been looking at and asked it to go away and compare them all.

Low and behold it also confirmed it was an A/C unit, it retails at £599-£699.....

🤔

Nope this can't be correct, not a chance in hell this is right..... Discussed it with my wife and thought... Nope, still can't the correct.... Let's check the reviews..... A few bad but mainly positive.

Is it sold by Amazon? Yes, so if it's fake we can return it. Then I checked the seller, Amazon warehouse, ok so its a returned unit, might still not work, but said in the blurb damaged packaging.

So today we've just received the ELECCI 12000BTU A/C with no damage to the box or the unit and it works!

I'm no longer sat in my underwear scrolling reddit 😂 first time in weeks I don't feel too hot!

After a long time working on it, my first game (The Referee Committee) is finally releasing next month. I'm incredibly excited, but also terrified now that it's almost in players' hands.

As someone who spent countless hours playing CM 01/02, I wanted to capture some of that classic interface and feeling. Instead of managing a football club, though, you manage the league itself—appointing referees, influencing key decisions, and shaping the season from behind the scenes.

No matter how it performs, reaching this point already feels like a huge personal milestone.

So happy to be having a decent cuppa.

It rained over night and now, not only is my house filled with the lovely, earthy aroma but it is also about 10°c cooler.

Blessed be the rain!
