The best treatment for my back pain is ice or cold packs. the current one I'm using is a rubber hot water bottle left in the freezer long enough for ice crystals to form inside.
Failing that, I have some gel-type ice packs.
Can't sleep. 2:40 am. Back pain, a little better than it was 6 hours ago. Improvement agonisingly slow.
An average single person household (without swimming pool) in this area averages 8.2 kWh per day of electrical use per day in Autumn.
My average use since switching to a different energy retailer in late February has been 4.4 kWh, and the solar panels started working 26 days ago.
Solar provider sent an email explaining how to set up the inverter's dat-logging wifi thingie. It was a short YouTube video that was easy to follow as the computer they demonstrated it on was a Mac using the Firefox browser.
Quite unnecessary in my case as the installers set it up for me on the day of installation.
Shouldn't be too long now before a grid feed-in tariff is established with the power retailer, the solar providers sent them the info about 15 hours ago (after initially sending said info to the wrong retailer).
@larand In my last two years of high school (1975-76) pocket calculators were optional & recommended but slide rules were compulsory. Late in '75 the Physics class paid a visit to a regional university where the physics lab had a punch-card computer of some unspecified sort.
Ours was "big" school for that rural area, around 600 students.

@streakmachine I only use Facebook for Men’s Shed stuff, I use an iOS app called Friendly for that. Today I was playing with its settings & discovered it could handle my Twitter & YouTube accounts as well as several others I refuse to use.

I replied: “People who sell fruit and veg are grocer.“
