Strange indeed, Bunyip.
We did a grocery/diesel run yesterday and the scenery was all heavy blue silhouettes across the hills and the skies south.
And like you, no winds, just on and off drizzle.

We've had a 2v cell failing these last few weeks and no amount of equalizing fixes it so rely more on the generator an hour a day to lift the battery readings for the rest of the cells for the day but will have to replace it some time. Minor problem compared to Cairns power outages and people's freezers.
