Finally! we have daylight. It's universally acknowledged that the Christmas and New Year weather has been completely rubbish, this followed on from the early December rubbish weather to produce a series of perfect storms.In parallel with the weather there has been a series of mechanical breakdowns so that my trusty fiat panda fell very poorly on the road down south for Christmas so after some seasonal wheel-removal I had to limp back to a Glasgow garage. I borrowed C's car to come up to Drumbuidhe for New Year but was hit by a lorry in Glencoe damaging most of the driver's side (terrifying at the time but my heart now sinks at the paperwork that will be involved). Now up here the storms have ripped off all attempts at protecting the generator which is sulking so I'm running on just PV and water power. Thankfully I've worked out how to turn off C's wind monitoring station (wired directly into the batteries, draining all those precious watts I've gathered) and, with a wee touch of sun today, I'm hopeful I'll get to watch the TV tonight. Hurrah!
