Hello, and welcome to our latest selfie Sunday!
I was going to skip the bit about the weather continuing to be rainy, when it turned warmish and dry. But on getting up this morning at 2am, Mrs H came back to bed and advised that, yup, you guessed it, it was back to rain again! So it's a no change day after all.
It seems the world, nature, is screaming that we need to do something quick or else we will be washed away in torrents of rain and misery. Most of which Ol'Ned attributes to the greed of political animals, and big business. Which Mrs H and I have to agree with.
That said, we won't sit back and wait for others to act. Mrs H has been researching a home battery to go with the solar panels we had installed on the manor house's roof many years ago. She says we could, by buying our electricity at the cheap rate and storing it for use when it is expensive, save a small fortune.
I went away and did some sum math, and figured that will keep her in sherry and me in catnip for eternity!
Anyways, the whole, hole in tooth affair seems, like the hole, to be drawing to a literal and metaphoric close. The gums are drawing together and pain easing.
Soon she will be fighting fit and off light duties. Though to be fair, the only thing she has really been grateful for missing is the taste testing of Mrs Granites home made rock cakes, which live up to her name, especially the bullet like raisins within!
Anyways, here is my not so stone-like selfie, taken earlier in the week with the coming of the sun, albeit a short coming ;)
We are joining the Sunday Selfies, hosted by the wonderful Kitties Blue and their mum, Janet Blue, from the Cat on My Head blog in America. Click this sentence to visit Janet Blue's site.
Till Laters!
ERin & Mrs H.
These days, even a little sun is an inestimable gift! The weather has been fairly nice here over the past week and we have enjoyed every minute!
ReplyDeleteOur #1 is also considering the installation of a heat pump and solar panels. In France, the government offers huge subsidies to do this.

Mrs H is doing likewise re. the heat pumps. We have had air to air heat pumps fitted 10 plus years ago and they work very well, but a tad under sized for winter. Air to Water (or described as wet or hydronic system) are our next step. She will be getting a quote from our energy supplier, Octopus Energy, and they do good installations and very competitive too. Amazing what you can generate from a reasonable sized roof, or have them mounted on the ground.

ERin, it's good to read that healing is happening.
ReplyDeleteWe have a south-facing piece of roof that may be purrfect for solar panels, but feel that any new installations 'round Eastside Cats might result in the need to rewire the entire house.
It's worth getting an estimate tho!
That is a beautiful selfie, ERin. We have a solar boiler on the roof to heat the water, but not to provide regular electricity. Maybe we should check that out. After all, there's no shortage of sunshine here (mol(.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you get a bigger ray of sunshine ERin. Mine lasted 2 days followed by gray and 4 days of rain. But Lynn is happy not to be shoveling more snow! I'm to get a ray of sun this afternoon. We were glad to hear the Mrs. H tooth hole is healing and she'll be off mashed potatoes and apple sauce completely.
ReplyDeleteERin what a purffect pose and OMCs your facial markings and sweet nose are amazing

ReplyDeleteBeautiful selfie! We've had a few beautiful, warm sunny days but later in the week is back to rain and snow :(
ReplyDeleteThat is some deep and excellent thinking, ERin and Mrs. H. That solar panels + batteries plan sounds like a winner to us. ERin, we love your sunny selfie. We bet it felt good on your furs, even if it was short-lived. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am glad Mrs. Hudson is on the mend. That is a beautiful selfie Princess Erin. XO
ReplyDeleteYou look good there in the sunbeams, Erin!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the extra $$ saved from using alternative power will help keep you in yumminess!!
