… 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I might even be able to eat something out of the garden this year <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
