A well deserved ice-cream at the seaside.
We went to Morecambe for breakfast this morning, it's less than half an hour away up the motorway so it's a place we frequently visit. Not quite as often now that we don't have the dogs but we do still go at least once a month.
Alan tucked into a very well deserved ice-cream for his dessert. Do breakfasts have desserts? I don't know usually ... but this one did. It was a lovely day, the third or fourth sunny one this week, but the first time we have been able to make the most of it. Even then we had to dash back home for the latest vaccinations for us both at the doctors. Alan joked to the nurse that since he retired all they seem to want to do is to stick needles in him, it is getting a bit excessive. 😐
Alan has been busy all week at the bungalow battening the walls for the interior insulation, and together we measured up and marked out the measurements for the en-suite bathrooms and their contents.
Simultaneously, the guys came to fit the solar panels on both sides of the roof.
We have a large array so that we can hopefully generate more than we actually use, especially on days like this. There's not as many as we had on the small holding in Wales, but we are not too far off.
Up in the loft are all the control panels for the solar panels and the batteries. Alan had made sure that the floor had all been boarded safely in the areas that they needed to access.
Alan had laid the piping that will hold the wires that go over to the garage, as that too will have a roof full of solar panels. Unfortunately, the company had sent the wrong fixings for these to the installers, so it is all being finished off and commissioned next week.
Here's the lates YouTube walk-through.
We're back to hospital visiting tomorrow, but hopefully we will be able to stop at the services on the way home and enjoy a little bit more sunshine, along with a sausage roll and a coffee from Greggs.

It's coming along. Must good to see some progress. Definitely a well earned ice cream.
