Lori: Did you own wiring - boy, you're so clever! I can paint and wall paper and that's about it. $190 for gas .. That's so dear! Today we have been warmer and I can't wait for spring to come.

It is mostly only 12v power out there. I mounted solar panels and run the power collected into batteries in the cellar which in turn power the greenhouse lighting, fans, etc. I enjoy tinkering and have my own tools.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Impressed !! You're very talented @CanadianLori

 

[alp]

How did you learn all that, Lori? I am very risk averse. But love the idea of solar panel. Need to find out more. Lori, I will definitely be troubling you! Haha!

Morning all

Good morning to all, and especially to you, Logan. I have the feeling that I have heard rain. But I'm not sure. Mightily cold.

 

[alp]

Is it raining your way, Logan? We had rain last night. Last night I was hot. Strange weather.

 

[Logan]

No it's not raining, just cloudy, Alp.

Morning all,
very foggy our way this morning, can't even see the horses in the field across the lane!!

Well, hubs and I are in for a fun morning, my brother didn't even think about booking an online shopping slot in advance.....so hence he can't get one! Hubs went to collect it yesterday as bro thought he had done a click and collect shop, mmmmm......he had obviously forgotten to click
Reordered, under hubs watchful eye and we are going to collect this morning

Off out for a meal with some old school friends this evening.... really looking forward to it, we haven't had a face to face catch up for 6 years or so.....love a good natter!!

Well this won't get the chores done.....catch you all later

Hope your Wednesday is as Wonderful as mine is going to be

Morning all very mild start to the day ,we are going to see Kate Rusby at the sage tonight so looking foreward to that.

 

[alp]

Have a lovely night out! Yes, great that it's mild nearly everywhere.. Don't think I see the heatwave of 14c anywhere though! But hey, anything is better than 0c or minus. Look like we're going to have a damp squid on Christmas day!

I am late getting on here today. Got a little distracted and was delivering cookie trays as well.

I'm really pleased with my felt experiment and have starting designing the trough system.it will probably be similar to the one I built years ago when I was experimenting with solar water heating.

I'll have to wait until I'm back on my laptop to post any pics.

Oh yes, forgot to mention that I gambled today...bought some lottery tickets. Can you imagine alla the garden stuff one would buy with a big win

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I'm imagining it very well @CanadianLori

Can you imagine alla the garden stuff one would buy with a big win

I am still dreaming. I would only buy premium bond as I would never lose that money. It infuriates me that the CEO get so much and those who got 4 matching numbers got £30! Imagine how difficult it is to get FOUR numbers..

Long live your dream, Lori! A lot of lives are propped up by dreams.. Occasional gambling is fun.. I won £2.90 and still couldn't get it as every time I tried to withdraw the money, I was sent a loop. After that, I deleted the Chrome browser! That is the last straw..

Need to learn more from your solar panels, Lori. Will talk to you privately.
