Will be doing my bit though it never feels enough. Trouble is, part of that could mean no trips to Symi :cry: because of the effect of air flights on the planet and that is a little difficult to contemplate :idea: .

I was slightly worried about the Black Google this morning. I could bring in the solar garden lights this evening and scatter them around the house. Would 3 lights be sufficient? No Chat Room between 8pm and 9pm, of course, without a hand-cranked generator.

I don't have a hamster to do the work for me.
