We finally took the plunge and decided to buy some new batteries for our solar power system. Mains electricity didn't seem to be getting any nearer, and with hot season easing in, our fridge was conking out earlier and earlier in the day, meaning it was only running about 6 hours in 24.
Now our fridge is managing between 8 or 9 hours a day (don't worry, we still don't keep meat in it!) and the most exciting thing is that we can put our lights on in the evening. It feels so liberating to be able to move about the house without a lamp in my hand! And easier to work … when you are in semi-darkness you tend to feel far more like nodding off than getting anything productive done!
But please don't feel you have to stop praying for mains electricity to get here...!
