Vapour Trails Of Warmth!

As the golden hour slowly drew to a close, vapour trails full of warmth from planes that flew across the atmosphere made the sunset blissful!

Mother Nature

"new chemical plants using fossil fuel feedstocks springing up all around the world to satisfy demand for that final sparkle✨ on your #pv panels offset [wrong direction] extra 1% electrical output." ?

Robin* poop is the biggest enemy of my panel output. Any cleaning agent has the same effect as well as water - spreading it around as a uniform layer. But hold on, smoothed robin-poop is almost like chalk-based household cleaner - helps removes the other more botanical film. Buffing soon with a damp cloth [rainwater] is the key.

*Every post this morning will mention a robin.

Apart from robins, the biggest hit on my panel output the last few clear days has been jet #vapourTrails. Any advice on how to clean them up very welcome. |;-/

Solar panels should not be cleaned with dishwashing detergent shows new study

A new study conducted at the University of Turku investigated how household cleaning products affect the ability of solar panel glass to transmit light.

@EllieK So Zaz's mother was not a Cornish Rex then? Or was she? I know so little about the breed, but I'd like to know more.

It must have been so hard to give away your last first edition of Vapour Trails. I'm sure the recipient will absolutely love and appreciate it!

I've been meaning to ask you, when you met Louise Penny, did she happen to mention how she came to know about your mother's poetry? She obviously deeply admired your mother's work.

Ohhh. The thought of her beautiful mama... Zaz's mama was also a beautiful tabby. But no long flowing fur, just short, curly.
I gave away my last first edition of Vapour Trails today (apart from my own dedicated signed copy). Now we wait for the shipment of the new edition. She was an avid #LouisePenny fan, who came to buy a box from Steven. She has bought other pieces from him in the past. I know she'll love it.
