It&#8217;s been five days since I&#8217;ve seen a cloud and for the last 3 days I&#8217;ve had almost 100 amps of surplus electrical energy &#8211; unheard-of in December, and I&#8217;ve about 63\u00b0C of hot water in the dump load.<\/p>\n<p>There was 15\u00b0C of water in the solar water tank too &#8211; imagine that in December too. I was almost ready for a solar shower this afternoon, although 15\u00b0C is not really what I would be comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p>Today I did indeed demolish the old wood sheds and now there&#8217;s space to move around in front of the house. But where the wood had been piled up against the stone wall, there&#8217;s not a trace of weeds or moss and that has got me thinking, which I know is dangerous. I&#8217;m not here tomorrow but if the weather holds out for Friday, I might mix up some lime mortar and point the wall. Strike while the iron is hot, as it were.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t put up the scaffolding though. Instead, I emptied Caliburn and finally put away everything that I had brought back from Marianne&#8217;s old apartment in Brussels. Loads of stuff has made it up here, especially the bits that will improve my standard of living up here in the attic. <\/p>\n<p>There was also a big bag of biscuits and so on that Rosemary broght back from the UK in the Spring and which I had put in Caliburn, dropped off in Brussels and then promptly forgot about.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m taxiing, which might come as something of a surprise to long-term readers of this rubbish. I&#8217;m taking a passenger to Limoges Airport.hea<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-2628 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='2628' data-nonce='ceea1ad770' 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-2628 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-2628 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='2628' data-nonce='ceea1ad770' 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-2628 unlc'>-6<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-2628 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; is still continuing.
