A Lone Nutcase


The solitary nut on our hazel tree (the squirrels stole the other one but they probably planted the tree in the first place so fair enough). Admin2 tried to polish it a bit and then there were none.
Admin1 is reading Trick of the Dark by Val McDermid. Admin2 is reading Last Bus to Woodstock by Colin Dexter which is strangely old-fashioned and shamefully sexist. We have a huge box set so later volumes better improve.

The Prisoner

Spider catches bee. We had 10kWh worth of sunshine today, our sunniest August ever recorded on the solar panels, except it wasn’t sunny for Unity Day, Carnival and all the days when we had guests

Admin1 is reading Future Perfect by Chris Evans and Roy Kettle. Admin2 is reading Shadow by Karin Alvtegen. Nearly all the characters in the latter are writers and they all make life hell for themselves and everyone else in the book.

Cloud of the Day: Fumulus

Ferrybrige power station in the far distance, generating its own little cloud. Today it caught fire but we didn’t see anything, just smelt a burning smell. Admin1 is reading The Lonely Dead by Michael Marshall. Admin2 is reading The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins by Irvine Welsh. Despite the miserable weather of the past few days, July was the sunniest month since solar panels began. Our ones, anyway… 262.866kWh.
