Once again some very heavy showers overnight but we were snug in the camper. Although Susan could hear a bat on the tailgate apparently.
Today after pool checking I made up a couple more flyscreen frames until the material was exhausted. Once again just about mm perfect and put them up without the mesh in them as Bunnings had run out of the retaining spline.
Susan spent the day bashing about in the rainforest.
After "work" I reproofed the corner of the tent I patched yesterday and repaired the fly door with All Clear and I must say it looks ok. I also resoldered all the joints in my solar controller which made absolutely no difference so I have a sinking feeling about it. On a brighter note I managed to extract a record 14 and a bit amps from the solar panels briefly today with the old controller when the sun came out after a rain shower. Solar panels lose efficiency when they get hotter which means the ones in Antarctica work very well, when it is not eternal night of course. Once the panels warmed up they dropped back to 13 amps still not to be sneezed at..

We went out for tea tonight to The Channon. There were a couple of ladies performing Xmas carols and popular music. Santa Claus paid a visit and I received a lolly bag unlike Susan who obviously hasn't been as good as me. We had a nice meal and a couple of drinks before returning here for sleep. Our hosts leave tomorrow. We will be staying on for another week to holiday and water the new plantings.
night folks
cheers Simon
