Cold but above freezing, still blowing well and the luxury of electric after 5 hrs without. Just surprised it took so long to fail with the winds and about the 5th this year and the worst so far. 4 days is the record.

fenrisulfr would a simple solar set up be a good back up? It's the house and all spare money is needed elsewhere. Another hour off this morning so took the kids down the forest and had a cuppa at the cafe there. The box is full of bits from my old camper and new parts / tools ect ready to do more 'finishing' or I'd be in there.
Got candles in the house and a multifuel fire / backboiler that runs a convevtion system for hot water and two rads upstairs (no leccy needed) and I'm more than happy to stare at a candle for an hour or two, it's uninterrupted thinking time. Must get hold of Julian this year to make me a new house fire in the same pattern as the old one's cracked, should have done it last year but was off places.

Yes I knew it was your house Still might be worth a single panel and battery. Candles aren't so bad in the house, but in a van they make me panic.

Large snowflakes, heavyish and too wet at present to stick or be a problem unless they keep coming down at the current rate. Lucky the kids had their first walk earlier.

Brilliant sun, blue sky but -1, that'll do.
