Yes, we can't have it all... It would be too much to ask that we had continuing high output from S Wales but perfect calm for building near Ayr!

Using my scrying stones I see/hope they hook up what they can after New Year and finish in Spring. I used to live down there. Fearsome Winter winds that ran for weeks. Used to go down the beach and lean in hands out at side supported by the wind. Not so handy when doing awkward lifts right enough!

It does sound good... is it 7 out of 8 done, or are they doing them in semi-random order with 3 or 4 to go?

It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out as the cabling squad is over and that won't be cheap. Fingers crossed for a calm Nov.

Looking at the weather and how Babbet or whatever her name is stall's over Scotland I don't see them getting much done later this week.
