It gets dark very fast, but at least I don&#8217;t eat dinner in the dark any more! It also gets light earlier; the solar charge controller clicked on just before 7:00 this morning! And what a beautiful sound that is, might I add. The click off in the evening isn&#8217;t so nice. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The rain promised for today never came and I had a moderate charge coming in all day. I used my computer a lot, so my batteries are sitting at about 88% right now. Not great, but it&#8217;ll be sunny again tomorrow and I need to run errands, so the batteries will have a chance to get a good soak while I charge the computer in the truck.<\/p>\n<p>One thing today made me realise is that buying a keyboard for my iPad wouldn&#8217;t be a frivolous idea. Most of today&#8217;s computer power consumption was spent on the writing of what might end up being my next ebook. I could have typed for twice as long on my iPad and still had plenty of juice left on it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be heading out for a walk soon even though it&#8217;s windy and chilly out there. I didn&#8217;t get out much today, but an after dinner stroll to the trash bins is always pleasant. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/the-days-are-getting-longer\/imgp5532\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18013\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMGP5532-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMGP5532\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18013\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/the-days-are-getting-longer\/imgp5533\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMGP5533-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMGP5533\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18014\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/the-days-are-getting-longer\/imgp5534\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18015\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMGP5534-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMGP5534\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18015\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s lovely to be sitting here just past 6PM and for the sky to still be light.
