Same line as this one that came up yesterday on my subs.

Anything that fun just has to be illegal.

Watching my 6-Year-old daughter ziplining down 220m in Rotorua. So confident she did it upside down and started with a blind trust fall backward.

God help me when she is a teenager! She is super strong willed, but at least I know she will take crap from no-one!

paulchinnz: Well done. I've often thought the advice to avoid the automatic temperature mode to be bunkum. It's expensive but so nice.

thanks @Aredwood

Hadn't thought about competing heatpumps. However, if you've set the temperature sensor for each heatpump to somewhere sensible in their respective rooms, wouldn't they only 'fight' if one room was hotter/cooler than the other? Further, if set to economy mode, they'd have to be substantially different (I think at least 2-3C) before this 'fight' started, in which case, I do want them to fight e.g. if the temp in one room is too hot/cool and the other is fine. I've never seen this myself (I've 2 heatpumps in neighbouring rooms) but can see where you're coming from.

re overshooting, again if set to economy mode, if the target is 20C, then my understanding is that (at least with my Fujitsu) once it cools to 22C, it slows down significantly, and won't start heating until it falls below 18C. So overshooting seems unlikely.

Or mayhap I've interpreted the manual badly.

Walked into hardware store looking to spend $X on high-spec tool.

Discussed with dude manning the relevant aisle, decided better to go for middle of range tool for $0.7X.

Got home, used tool, worked as discussed with said dude.

The state of Christchurch during our visit. It's really quite beautiful compared to my last visit 12 months ago. There are so many lovely things now, and some wonderful free entertainment like Margaret Mahy Park (which is really something I am sure she would have been delighted by) and The new Library with it's super friendly volunteers.

Also, the thumbs up interaction I got with Phil Collins during his amazing concert! Was an absolute highlight.

My success  in my first attempt at cheesemaking, it's pretty damn tasty. (Brandy included for aesthetic effect....drink responsibly.)

Impressive. Did you put it inside a calf's bladder and ride a camel across the desert?
