\"dodge<\/a>I had a bad night last night – I couldn’t get off to sleep at all for ages and it was most uncomfortable. <\/p>\n

I had the feeling that I wasn’t the right way round in bed and I’ve no idea why. The astonishing thing though was that after this had preyed on my mind for ages I turned round and put my head to the tailgate of the Dodge – and I went out like a light and that was that until the alarm went off, except for having to go for a gypsy’s at 04:00.
<\/p>\n

\"mars<\/a>Today it’s a beautiful day, brilliant bright sunlight and the solar panel on the roof of the Dodge is doing its stuff. <\/p>\n

It’s charged up the laptop and it’s charged up the phone (which I’m now using as a mp3 player and why not? that was a good plan to buy a micro SD card) and it’ll charge up the spare battery before I’ve finished.
<\/p>\n

\"mars<\/a>This morning I spent in measuring up. I have a few plans as to what I intend to do but for that I need some measurements. My measurements differ slightly from those of the surveyor so I reckon that it’s my measurements that are out, not his.<\/p>\n

And then we had a mega-two-hour performance of playing “hunt the keys” that involved emptying right out the Dodge and eventually I found them stuck inside the map.
<\/p>\n

\"florenceville<\/a>That makes me too late for the lawyer unfortunately, but instead I can go for a wander round.<\/p>\n

There’s a big bridge over the river here at Florenceville – part of it is covered but the rest is a more-modern open girder bridge. It’s the covered bit that receives most attention from photographers, and so I’ll take a photo from less well-known western side of the river
<\/p>\n

\"wind<\/a>And here’s something that I’ve been wanting to see. <\/p>\n

This is the Florenceville District Office of the New Brunswick District Office of Natural Resources. They have a wind turbine at the back here and that’s what made me stop and go for a chat. <\/p>\n

Apparently it’s nothing to do with them but a pilot study installed by the people at the University of New Brunswick about 5 years ago. They are having these pilot studies in a few places so it seems, and the energy is all fed into the National Grid directly. They here know nothing about it, but he will have someone from Fredericton call me back.<\/p>\n

Of course I’m going to be in Fredericton later on this week for this Blues Festival so that’s fine. I shall have to go to the University of New Brunswick, shan’t I?<\/p>\n

I found that garage that Darren told me to go to see, and I wasn’t all that impressed with what was on offer. I’ll have to pass on this for now and think again.<\/p>\n

At the tyre place everyone was still there working until long after 18:00. We then went back to the house but we couldn’t go “over across” for a meal as arranged because Amber had a friend Abbi over for a sleepover and she had no passport with her. <\/p>\n

But I was fed and watered and stayed the night, for which I am grateful as always. Darren and I were watching these documentaries about the unexplained – what is this Aurora flying saucer accident all about?<\/p>\n
