Off the grid

It's so pretty at the inlet today, chilled sun in the morning. The professional fisherfolk motored back to shore an hour after dawn and Ms Mer gave me a mullet all shiny like a new coin.




I've been pretending to be a bear over the last week, sleeping, reading and sleeping again. I haven't been paying attention to the minutae recently and was wondering why the laptop was only half charged before the inverter conked out. Poor ol' Mr Panel had been in complete shade for nearly a month, so this morning I moved him to a happier place.

  1. Love it. Mobile solar power is very cool. And nature is just gorgeous on the south coast today.

  3. Literate bears, solar panels with their own garden furniture and a beautiful inlet right up to the edge of the forest. What a wonderful world you live in.

  4. I like the photographs especially the shadow of the dog and you and the ripply sand. x

  5. I wonder sometimes if that bull/bear thing is common to a lot of artists/writers. I have days on end where I completely avoid going into town if I can manage it, because I just don't want to talk to anyone. Not down, just wanting solitude. Unfortunately, I live in a shed with a husband who works from home, and two almost grown up girls (and a large hairy dog), so sometimes I really feel a desperate craving to be completely alone, and it's almost impossible to organise!

    And then I have days when I crave getting out and about with people to talk to!

  6. It's an interesting dichotomy Mermaid. Living alone has it's foibles too. People think I live in the ultimate writers' paradise but I get more work done in the town laundromat.
