I am still fighting the good fight trying to find someone who can fix my solar panel inverter/data logger problem. Most of the people I’ve written to have ghosted me, and the one person who said he could help went into hospital and then died. I know it shouldn’t have made me laugh but it did. It’s an extreme method of not assisting.

We were supposed to go to Plas Newydd today, but with the heat, I didn't feel well enough. It is unnaturally warm in Wales.

Good news: those scammers have repaid me. Not willingly, but they have.

We got home to discover that Geraint, bless his furry paws, had opened the door to the freezer, with the result that about half of the contents are defrosted.

Me, struggling

Mon, 25 May 2026 11:08:08 GMT

I am a bit desperate. I got taken by a company who charged me £3000 for a five year contract to look after my solar panels and the things I need to run them: the inverter and the batteries. I asked for some money from my equity release funds to pay off my credit card. The company handling my equity release said they wouldn't give me the funds without me talking to my financial advisor - and he told me that this was a scam. My solar panels should last ten years before needing support like this.

I have been having trouble with my Solar Panels - not with the panels themselves, which are fine, but with the inverter and the datalogger, both of which were disconnected when Plusnet (my ISP) issued me with a new router, thus meaning that the name and password changed, and I didn't know how to alter them on the inverter and the datalogger.

Something l’m annoyed about

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 15:19:10 GMT

So, my friend “J” sent out a round robin email wishing our gaming group a Happy New Year, and outlining that he was planning a gaming get together fairly soon at a venue yet to be chosen and a time yet to be decided on. I replied, saying I’d like to come but it depends on the cost.

We have snow here in Wales. Not just on the mountains, which is normal, but down here in the town, which is weird.

Geraint has blotted his copybook and no mistake. He scratched aunty_marion. I think she quite liked him until then. He is quite an unpredictable cat. He’s due at the vets to get his booster shots tomorrow.

With poor Smokey having gone (and I do miss her dreadfully), I contacted the Anglesey Feline whatsit thingy because I wanted a second cat, and it can take a rescue service months to find a cat which must be kept indoors.
