… is getting on my wick; Non-stop rain again for the I don’t know how manyth consecutive days. 7.5mm today. Well over a week since I last saw the sun and yesterday, I had about as much solar energy as I would get in a wet winter weekend in Weymouth.<\/p>\n

On the positive side, though, the two batteries that I put in the barn seem to have sprung into life. We had a little more solar energy today and they have not only charged themselves up but they seem to be holding the charge too. That’s a little relief and means that I’m not so rushed about doing the new floor in downstairs and installing the mega-batteries.<\/p>\n

Still, that’s a job that is high on my list for when I come back here.<\/p>\n

Apart from that, I had a nice early night last night and when I woke up – to the sunshine – I thought that this would be a good day. I lay in bed for ages reflecting on this and that and then decided to haul myself out of bed as it was late enough.<\/p>\n

This was when I found – to my chagrin<\/em> – that it was just 07:15 – even earlier than if I had set the alarm. That filled me full of gloom, I can tell you.<\/p>\n

With it being Bank Holiday I’ve not done a tap of work. i’ve been up here all day working on my website<\/a> and slowly pulling myself along the North Shore of the Gulf of St Lawrence. I’ve no idea whan I’ll reach the end, but then I’ll have plenty more stuff to be dealing with.<\/p>\n

Not only that, I’m making plans for my annual trip to Canada. Looks like I’ll be going as usual round about the end of August and I’ll try to fit in another trip around the Trans-Labrador Highway if I can. Lots of stuff that I missed out on my first trip<\/a> that I need to fill in. <\/p>\n
