The solar panels were connected up, and the inverter was plugged in. However it seems to have a problem running the borehole pump, so I’ll need to investigate why. It could be a dodgy earth connection.

On the broody hens front, we now have 8 chicks.

And I did a quick inventory of the fruit trees in the garden. We have two gooseberries, two blueberries, and three cherries. I mean actual fruit, not bushes. The strawberries did produce a fairly decent crop though, although they’re not too happy with all the rain. And the raspberries haven’t started producing yet.

Oh, and I got a text message from Orange saying we’d be reconnected on the 27th. Which will be the start of week 5 without phone or internet. I must admit, for some unfathomable reason, I don’t believe them.
