Sarah-May, one of my all-time favourite people, came up and used her narrow boat electric system knowledge to help us scalp the bits from the caravans (which are on mains electric now) and wire up the two sleeping sheds with the old leisure batteries.
She also shared her design for lovely lamp covers for her LED bulbs, which she made of the tops of Fanta bottles. Genius.
So we had to drink four more bottles of Fanta to get enough bottle tops for all the beds. Esther built the rest of the system that Sarah-May didn’t have time to complete.
And although one out of two batteries appears to be dead, we at least got to test that Esther and Sarah-May’s work was going to light things up.
Esther is quite rightly very pleased with herself.
And I am pleased that she had the opportunity to exercise her skills and find out that she could figure out how to do something that she hadn’t known how to do that morning.
Also, Daisy came for a couple of days, which is always a joyful event. I love Daisy and her cheerfulness and good company, and also her ability to just be given a job and get on with it while I have yet another mini-meltdown and am good for nothing for a whole day. I need to stop doing that.
Well, at least I’ve cracked the cheesecake mystery and can do it perfectly every time.
So that’s a reason to be cheerful.
