Living on a cloud...

Been living in a cloud for the last three days. I mean a real one. I stand on the doorstep and feel like the entire world has left, and there's only us and a Huge Cloud left on earth. Mist so absolute you feel like you can stretch out and grab a whole wispy armful. Like  silvery candyfloss.  Got lots and lots of water (all tanks busting full) but our solar panels busting a gut  to give us the energy we need from under a thick duvet of mizzle. We're just being very very careful, which is not difficult as it's just a matter of being sensible, and it's amazing to watch the numbers shoot up the nano second the sun comes out; pump up the volume! We've started making daily readings of our Resource Inflows (rain and sunshine) and our Resource Stocks (how full our tanks are and how much energy we have in store). Starting to look really interesting. And we hope will help us use our resource wisely. Wisely -ness. There's a thing we could all do with using a bit more of. Especially those Very Odd Blokes in Downing Street. Boy, they don't half have some odd ideas about the world. They should try living in a cloud for a few days. Or maybe that's all there is between their ears...might explain such a lot...
