It's VII-ember!

Hello September!
May you be a month of fruitfulness.
I know that in some parts of the world you're bringing welcome change- short holidays back in western India, kids back in school in some parts of the world, and solar-generated power in Tokelau. Where's that? Close to New Zealand, I believe. In fact the Kiwi government has helped fund the program to turn the island nation into the first country in the world to run on solar power.  Hmm- the confusing bit is whether or not to call Tokelau a nation- its people are citizens of New Zealand, or something like that.
Another New Zealander coming out in support of the environment- Sam Neill. Remember him in Jurassic Park? Guess he knows better than most what can happen when you mess with Nature. (Cue feeble laughter as everyone flees from the T. Rex.)

One change I'm happy about- it's getting cooler here. Today's high- I checked on BBC- was 36 degrees. That's quite good. It explains why I was able to spend the day without switching the AC on.
Bet that saved a lot of power!
