Haven't had that for a while, not at all in the weeks of obviously crazy amounts of solar power. A night of heavy rain and today the free energy is back, two hours of it.
I went out for a quick walk today, and it is now cool enough to put my coat on again! Well not quite, but I had it in mind so I've done it.
Things started getting moving slightly quicker, slightly earlier today, to take T1 to school a bit early. He's going on a university open day type thing at Detling Showground. It's a UCAS exhibition, several unis I suppose, not a real open day. Because of the weather I suggested he take his coat,and he couldn't find it... This would be very bad. I have been on a real rollercoaster over this, all the stages of grief. Surely you can't have lost it? Where have you lost it? I was bubbling under with rage at the thought of this expensive jacket being left somewhere or being stolen. Took him to school, and then started thinking how do we replace it? Get him a cheaper one or a second hand one? What about if he took mine, and I buy an expensive new one that I want! Coming round to this idea, then I got home and searched the house and found it. So back to were we started, he's happy, and I am too.
No-one out and about today, the beach has been heaving recently. Everyone back at work and sheltering from the rain. All except someone sleeping on a bench which is obviously sad. Nice to be out in the fresh air, apart from that reminder how life is hard for some people.
Is et up a load of work before I went for my walk, fired up the AI to do some stuff that I can seek reviews of when I get back. And now I am back!
Premium bonds prize day today or tomorrow I think.
