… this morning and brought me the new battery for the laptop and so the first thing that I did was to fit that in place.
And it makes a big difference too – seeing battery time left of 4 hours and 15 minutes instead of a mere 87 minutes, as has been the case for the last few months. That’s worthwhile.
And this afternoon I’ve repaired the door here, repaired the electronic rain gauge and hung the solar lanterns on hooks – one by the front door and the other by the water butts.
And if that’s not enough to be going on with, we then had a mega-gardening session. All of the leeks are planted now, as well as whatever I recognised (and there was a lot that I didn’t recognise) in the seed trays. I even managed a little weeding too.
I might even be able to eat something out of the garden this year
As for the two solar arrays in the barn, one of the ones (the new one on the barn wall) has now fully-charged its batteries. It’ll be interesting to see how well that maintains its charge now. If it all works out as planned, I can change the system over so that all of the panels will be on the mounting at the end of the barn wall and do away with the Heath-Robinson structure on the roof of the Luton Transit.
