to get the house temperature down a bit. Once again, opening a window isn't helping much - too little temperature difference and too much heat capacity?

had a bluetit come and explore the frame of the open window though - probably looking for insects. They were mostly hopping around in the adjacent tree.

none of these things decide to come into the house.

it’s a little cooler in my bedroom than the rest of the floor. When I opened the door, I could feel the heat flowing in.

there also wasn't much rainfall here overnight and has watered all the things again.

wonders if you can put up a screen to keep the birds and insects out...

previously had such a screen for a window as a child but not in the past couple of homes. The air pollution is also a big problem and a screen wouldn't help with that at all.
