The Rockefeller Works a Treat!
Being very remiss I don’t have a ceiling fan in my lounge and so I had to use a Rockefeller desk fan which I just put on the floor in front of my TV. I set it to medium which was more than sufficient to create a lovely cool breeze and with the wide angle of oscillation was able to easily breeze it onto everyone in the 2 sofas. A perfect as-hoc solution when it was 31 deg centigrade outside. Inside it was 24 minus the 5 deg cooling effect to give a very nice 19 deg C plus the moving air which is crucial to feeling cool.
I also used it to great effect to blast the very cool morning air at 6:30 this morning in through the open window to cool the room down for the day.
