You can connect them via Bluetooth (automatic) And stick them (left and right) with velcro tape. And you can take these seams. I've seen that ue box with the rubber ring, and there is still play on it.... So the SONOS will have less bass but the sound is very nice. (2 x17cm boxes) I'm also going to buy that fan in orange on Amazon. Thx for the good video’s👍!

I'm I bit envious of Tim and Mr. Boo are baking and basking on the coast of luxury, while we on the other side of the world are taking refuge in the coldest and wettest May and June on record. Fans look to be worthwhile but perhaps the frozen water bottles might be more effective if placed down your shirts, or dare I suggest, "shorts"? Hope you had an enjoyable birthday Mr. Boo. Thanks again to you and Tim for the brief but much appreciated virtual holiday escape. BTW, having spent a good many years in the North Slope of Alaska, and having had many "Eskimo" friends whom I loved and endearingly referred to as "Eskimos", and who colloquially referred to themselves as "Eskimo", I can say that 'Inuit' ('Aleut-Eskimo' people'), for the most part did not deem "Eskimo" as racist or derogatory. Referring however, to non-Inuit-Eskimo Native peoples in Alaska as "Eskimos" could be considered by "Native" peoples of Alaska, akin to calling a Frenchman a Spaniard, a Mexican an Hispanic, a Scotsman a Russian, or a Yorkshireman a Welshman. To me, implying that "Eskimo", a term long most Americans identified with fellow Americans whom they long respected and loved, is now somehow racist or derogatory, seems diversionary and marginalizing of both 'Eskimos' and 'Americans', and I thank you for making light of it. Until next time, Cheers!
