Default Last minute temp problems

Just my luck, I'm picking up my fire sals from cpiggot tomorrow and the sudden hot weather here as made my temps jump to 72F!

What's the best way to cool it down? Bag of ice on top? Try moving the viv? It's on top of my leo viv.

Get it off the leo viv - that will heat that bad boy up something rotten! Put the viv near a window (not one that faces the sun!) or on a cold wall. if your desperate you can get a set of fans (one blows air in one sucks air out) and put a net bag of ice under the 'blow air in' fan

Cool will move it! If that doesn't work I'll try the ice!

Thankyou!

Ok moving it has got it down to max 70, then a spray with REALLY cold water has brought it down another 2 degrees. Would prefer it a bit cooler but think I have it under control
