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.

Tonight, I went to bed worrying about it, and have got up at 4am, determined to fix the issues.

Reader, I found a description of what to do supplied by the manufacturer. I followed the instructions (which nobody would have worked out from first principles) and it now all works. How long it will work is another question, but in the short term at least, go me!

For some reason I’m not sure about I watched “Scarpetta” - the whole series.

I still have no clue what was happening most of the time. I actually prefer “Silent Witness” and that show is beginning to annoy me.

Now, I have read about half of Patricia Cornwell’s books, and I don’t remember any of them being as gloopy as the TV series. Nor do I remember them as being quite so full of horrible characters. Kay’s sister in particular I wanted to die a death. Kay herself was annoying and Lucy nearly as much. The only character I liked was the dead wife.

I also struggled with telling current events from flashbacks. They could at least have given Kay different hairstyles.

All in all, a waste of my time.
