We have to look forward to some good stuff now and again so enjoy the sun ☀️ as I am. Its not just for solar panels ;)
What sort of temps have you got there? I'm hoping for about 22 degs and much chair lizard with book. :)
About 22 but feels more in the sun.

Nice!

Nowty that highest building in your photo doesn't half look like the Synchrotron tower at Daresbury Laboratories and Science park! :lol:

I can say without a doubt that its not sunny not 22 degrees and not pleasant weather in North West Wales today, WBS is lit and the kiddies are settled in for the run up to Christmas.

Driving through our regional main city Mugla this morning on our way to the eye clinic and I could count at least twenty WT's up on the ridgeline to the NE of the city. Also stopped at my fave reservoir for a coffee and had a chat with the coffeehouse owner who's place overlooks the resevoir. Runs his whole operation on a 14 panel groundmount array. Loves the end of the month, 'no bills'! He said. :)

Son is getting retinal laser treatment next week on both eyes, then we'll come back in about a month or so for the lens replacement itself. I cannot describe the relief I feel that he qualified and will see as I now see. :D

SWMBO is having second lens replacement on 6th Jan too. Looking forward to a long destress swim and a quiet mindful meditation tomorrow morning. Purge my mind a bit. The last 6 weeks have been a constant shadow of 'what if he doesn't qualify'... Spent two hours today in full fight or flight mode once at clinic for tests, this being Dad fairly takes it out of ye!. :D Happy boxing day and goodnight lads. :lol:

Thank you AGT, it has been an enormous relief. Picked up SWMBO's bag of prescriptions this afternoon for next week's surgery. I'll be staying over with her overnight. 😌 While ignoring the fact that she let me go up there on my own and drive back next morning! :twisted:

Have been thinking about the 3.2V to 3.6V led lights that shine so brightly back at home and also high storage capacity usb powerbanks. I've had success keeping Internet up and running along with mobile aspect and wondering if anyone is running low power led lights and reflective surfaces alongside usb powerbanks.

It seems logical that with such simplicity of use, what with usb being everywhere that during a power out back up light rig tied back to a multiport powerbank would be handy. I'm sure it's been done many times before. Just a thought.

A few of these are handy with power banks.

Excellent, thank you. I will show man in Marmaris those this morning. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
