Yes I agree it is important to educate the people, but at the same time, I feel (as sad as it is) that when people get things for free, they don't appreciate it. I see it here all the time.
The US is the same as yours but there's a lot of charities trying to help families with the supplies. Our teachers even spend their own money trying to help the kids. I think that a country that wants to survive should make sure to educate it's people...

Wow. Thank goodness it did not happen.
My new solar inverter was installed today. The repair guy wasn't satisfied with the amount of electricity the system was generating so he went up on the roof to take a look. He noticed a wire under one panel hanging down a bit lower than normal so he disconnected the panel and turned it over. He took a picture to show me. Most of the underside of the panel was splashed with black carbon from electrical arcing! I'm SO lucky the roof didn't catch fire!

So I'm back in the generating my own electricity business. Now I just need to find someone willing to clean the panels at a reasonable price

Well then keep safe.
It keeps slowing down. First they thought sat or sun. Now they say it is changing direction. If it stays offshore that will be great. Some of the forecasts show it skirting land right where we are. Should get better idea in the next few days.

We had our public holiday weekend last weekend. :)

JoesDad and I will be celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary this weekend.

We’re going to see Luton Town FC (JoesDad’s team) v Huddersfield Town FC tomorrow and on Sunday, the anniversary day, we’re visiting my in-laws (who are....um... “challenging”)

I know! So romantic! [emoji23]
I'm not a sports fan, so I can't relate to this, but I have to say that you and he were pretty lucky to have found each other. Congratulations on your twenty ninth, and here's hoping for quite a few more!!

When my Daughter was about 5 she said to me “Mummy, everything was Black and White when you were 5”

My response “Only the television. Only the television “ [emoji23]

A whole new tank or just a new valve? I replace the valve at least twice a summer.
Whole new tank. The rubber bladder inside had a leak. That's why water came out. It should only be air coming out. Your tank might be different but if you have water coming out that usually means the tank is bad.
