As Britain reels in the grip of a heatwave (fine weather for more than 3 consecutive days) it seemed like a good idea to install our solar panels. I was thinking of getting the cheaper framed type, but Mary pointed out that the flexible type would look better and she's right.

They seem to work, guess we'll see how well on a trip in a few weeks.

The other minor project of the last few days has been replacing the copper washers in the Lister change over valves on the engine. There are two used, depending on which bit of the combustion chamber is to be sealed. Of course, I'd used the wrong (larger) ones.

 The one on the right is correct for the valves themselves. Nate and I fitted them and then test ran the engine. Happy days.
