Yes, another thick cloudy day which means that I&#8217;ve had no solar charge yet again. I wonder when the sun is going to come out. According to the weather forecast banner on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/\">my website<\/a> we are promised a clear sunny day tomorrow but knowing the weather and the weather forecasting around here I&#8217;ll believe that when I see it. It also promises me minus 9 as well tomorrow and I&#8217;ll believe that &#8211; one day last January we had minus 15.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I wasn&#8217;t in a hurry to wake up but once I was up and about I discovered that all of my water has frozen up. That&#8217;s the trouble with storing the rainwater above ground. It was a bit icy yesterday and I was going to defrost it after the football and fill all of the kettles but with the match being delayed it was too late when I got home. Luckily I have a couple of litres that I&#8217;ve filtered and that will keep me going.<\/p>\n<p>And so I started cutting the lets on two more pillars but Claude came round for a natter instead. And then it was round to Liz and Terry&#8217;s to give them a hand followed by the Anglo French group in St Gervais. When I got back home, it was just 4.5 degrees up here in my room. But it&#8217;s amazing just how quickly the place warms up with a bit of heat.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll be going to bed soon. Terry is on his travels tomorrow morning and I have an old stone sink to give him. While he&#8217;s here he&#8217;s going to help me lift some plasterboard upstairs to the first floor and carry my gas bottle round to the side of the house. He reckons it&#8217;s going to be an early start. I don&#8217;t much like the sound of that.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1025 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1025' data-nonce='aad879d56a' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-1025 lc'>+4<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1025 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1025' data-nonce='aad879d56a' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-1025 unlc'>-4<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1025 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, outside it is minus 4 and I shudder to think what it might have been if we didn&#8217;t have this thick cloud cover.
