Default Very quiet today

Is the NG down or are you all out busily shovelling snow.


Vicious strong Easterly wind today and it's finally started to rain at 4pm,
been threatening all day. Mended three of the 5 non-working solar lights and
threw two in the dustbin. They put silly on/off switches on them that always
corrode/bust so I just wire/solder them out of the circuit. Does anyone know
of a solar garden light that lasts more than a season or two (even if you
have to change the rechargeable battery)?
Was going to wash and clean the car but that wind is not nice and Sue said
it was about to rain anyway, which it has. Was also going to replace the
hinges on my Landrover drivers door, having painted them, but that is a job
for more time and a better day.
