If you're looking for a good cause and you'd like a little bit of donation to go a long way, our local childcare nursery got damaged in the recent storms.

They're only crowdfunding for £500 and they've got £100 already. It would make a big difference to many small kids and their parents in #Machynlleth.

Art Advent Calendar Day 12
While I was without internet for five days on foot of Storm Darragh and couldn't do my normal "bread & butter" job, I made a bunch of decorative world maps in Photoshop. This is my favourite.
The whole collection is here:

We're sad to announce that around 8 trees were lost in Storm Darragh. This number could have been much higher if it wasn’t for our incredible Tree Gang.

The fallen trees and branches won’t go to waste - some will be mulched, while others will be carved into small products

[19:06] Still 4,000 customers without power after storm - ESB

Our #Sheep have been very restricted in where they can go thanks to #stormdarragh and fallen trees. Today, after 5 days, they are allowed back out in the fields and they are excited to regain their freedom, charging around.

I'm back. Power gone for 2 days. Internet gone for 5 days. Work deadlines looming. #stormdarragh

Managed to get a message out on solarcene.community that the battery was low, we've had another prolonged period of cloud including #StormDarragh and are often barely generating more then 60Wh a day. Battery got critically low yesterday and so the whole system shutdown.

I've managed to get a little bit online (network switch and the "dietpi" which manages the web requests including the blog https://blog.solarcene.community/ and custom 50x errors) and we are drawing 3W. Hopefully we will get a little bit of sun today though estimates are still low.

Solarcene.community will be off for the next 24hrs and perhaps even 48hrs and then I'll switch to it being online for 4hrs a day at least until the battery is in a better position.

Of course those who use solarcene won't necessarily get this message as it's offline

„Thousands of people are still without power three days after the storm hit.“

"We're eating cold food as well because we don't have gas and we've lost all the food in our fridge and our freezer.“

"It's like being back in the war."

„People will die in storm power cuts, councillor says“

Last #StormDarragh post hopefully
#Cardiff Council reported over 300 calls received with 183 trees affected - more in one night than in the last 20 years. Thankfully no power cuts.

After 40 hours without electricity thanks to #stormdarragh we’ve been updated to expect another 31 hours before power is restored. There goes the contents of the freezer!
