Our cortijo is not connected to electricity grid. We installed a solar energy system that gave endless problems. My essay "Learning to Live with Solar Energy" provides an overview of the different approaches to providing solar energy and provides the information I wish I had possesed before we started on this project.

When I started to learn Spanish I wrote a computer programme to help me learn the basic Spanish verbs. It now contains the conjugations of 180 verbs and has a test facility to help you develop your knowledge.
