And you might gather that I have plans for this land &#8211; to erect a couple of wind turbines and have my own little windfarm on it. <\/p>\n<p>Startling news came in last night, that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renewableenergyfocususa.com\/view\/18218\/mars-hill-wind-farm-in-ppa-with-new-brunswick-power\">the Canadian Government has bought the power output of the American windfarm<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Now there&#8217;s only one way that they can run a cable from the Mars Hill wind farm over to Canada, and that&#8217;s via my land. And if all of the cabling is in place, it will save me a fortune when I build my own wind farm. I might be sitting on a gold mine here.<\/p>\n<p>And so with all of the excitement I didn&#8217;t get to sleep until I dunno what time, and so I missed a lot of the morning. There was still enough time to do some tidying up up here though, and after lunch I set about the garden. I can now get down to the vegetable plots in their raised beds without getting myself stung, pricked or thorned, and I&#8217;ve started to saw up the tree that has collapsed all across the garden. What a mess that was.<\/p>\n<p>A solar shower followed by a quick shopping expedition to St Eloy-les-Mines seeing as how I was in no fit state to go on Saturday, and then the Anglo-French group meeting and then that was the end of one of the nicest sunny days of the year. <\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not all sun though &#8211; I seem to have acquired a wasps&#8217; nest right by the bedroom window. That&#8217;s inconvenient.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-485 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='485' data-nonce='b7b79f65af' 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-485 lc'>+3<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-485 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='485' data-nonce='b7b79f65af' 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-485 unlc'>-4<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-485 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a diversion from my plans.
