A bit more than yesterday as well. And although it melted fairly rapidly we had quite a pasting early in the afternoon while I was on my way to Liz and Terry's. That didn't stay long either though but the temperature has now plummeted and I slid Caliburn on a patch of ice on the way home. Winter is definitely here.
I've finished off fitting the wind turbine to the fence and it's now wired in. And of course we are never ever going to have a breath of wind ever again. It's a weird place to put the wind turbine that's for sure but it's destined to go on the end of the house once the pointing is finished. And in any case that alley between the house and the trees is something of a wind trap and it's going to be interesting to see what we can produce from it.
But it's a good idea to mount it, especially seeing as how we haven't had a drop of sun for about three days now.
Round at Terry and Liz's Liz showed me how to pickle my beetroot and I now have 5 jars of it simmering away. I also took along a few of my chilis to dry out but I seem to have forgotten them. I also gave Terry a hand to put up the scaffolding - he's fitting windows into his barn roof and I have to sing for my supper. Not that I'm complaining of course . We had an absolutely excellent stew with dumplings, complete with home-made bread.
Tomorrow if it's fine I'll pull up my onions and start to dry them. But if the weather is bad (and what are the odds on that?) I'll work inside the house.
You'll soon have enough power that you might even be able to sell the power.
