I’m walking on sunshine, woooah…

You gotta know that one.  One of the big hits of summer.  Even although it’s cheesy.  One of those songs that makes you feel good and want to dance.

As does the weather.  At last the warmth has arrived.  They say it will only last for the day, but it’s giving us a taste of what’s to come.  And I say bring it on!  Beer, BBQ’s, bikinis and beaches.  Summers got the lot.

In the meantime, I’m stuck at work, in front of my computer screen, getting a little hot & sweaty.  And it’s not because of what’s on the screen.  Just that being dressed for work – shirt & tie – isn’t all that comfortable on a day like today.  But you have to pay the bills somehow.

To throw to a totally different subject, the election’s on this weekend.  Whoopdy doo!  It seems not too many are that interested.  If anything, the majority seem more concerned about whether they will still be able to fish, camp and enjoy the great outdoors after Saturday.  We sit and wait with bated breath…

One thing it hasn’t done is affect peoples buying habits.  Yes, it did slow down for a few days and we were a little worried.  However, the last few days have been hectic – hence the lack of a post yesterday.  The desire for energy alternatives seems as strong as ever, and if anything will only grow.

But here’s an interesting issue.  What happens if your house catches on fire – can the brigade put it out if you have solar panels installed on your roof?  Food for thought. http://www.allbusiness.com/safety-accidents-disasters/accidents-fires/14268418-1.html

Not that I want to scare anyone, but it shows that whatever energy system you decide to go for, safety is of the utmost importance.  Electricity is a blessing, but one that needs to be handled with respect.

So the lesson.  Do your homework.  Use known quality brands that have stood the test of time.  Make sure that your system is installed correctly and with your longterm safety in mind.  Get it right at the start and you can look forward to unshackling yourself from the grid.
