The plants in my work room...

...are getting a little leggy and I think they are longing for some sun on this damp grey day. Or maybe it is me.
It's not all grey though. This part of the world is not an easy place to find good and reliable tradespeople who are actually available; there's a shortage round here and most of the good 'uns are very busy. But this week I have managed to track down a builder who will fix the roof, and an electrician who will take down and subsequently re-install the solar panels. So....reasons to be a bit cheerful, at least!
