			===May 9. Explorations===

			We keep testing basic elements, the water pump, the drippers, etc

			Also started with the solar panels, Gisle mounted the big one we have, I am starting to work with the small ones bought in China.

			We also put the Prusa to work a bit. Is cool.

			As part of the permacomputing principles we are recycling everything we can and working with materials we have. It is surprising how many things we could have been storing :)

			Got the plexiglass, and it looks like a good idea to use it.

			Here some images from today:

			===May 4. Brain storming day===
			Some ideas start to pop up.

			Gisle is suggesting to work with real pipes and connect them to the water pipe collecting the rain in Bergen.

			We thought to have different sizes of pipes to represent the variety of pipes we will find on our way, from Bergen to Llerena.

			===May 5. Explorations===
			We also have the idea to use slime mold to get the best way to send the water from Bergen to Llerena. Need more experimenting with it.

			Maite has been working on how to print the Miyamoto Tower in the Prusa Mini+ Here I can get the STL file but no idea how to implement it. https://origamisimulator.org/
			and also on how to make a cube that can hold the small solar panels we have.

			===May 6. Explorations===
			Maybe we have a plan: To make 2 circular platforms with plants from Bergen and Llerena, to hung them on a kind of plate and use another hanging plate to install the led light on the top. We can use a central tower with both the rain and the solar cells OR to separate the towers. Spatial design.

	There were no seasons in Azura, not in the way the old world had them.

	In the North, it now rained. Real rain, not the recycled dew of the condensers, but water from the sky. No one quite knew why—perhaps the atmosphere, humiliated for centuries, was beginning to forgive them—but the clouds had returned. And with them, shadow.		In the North, it now rained.

	The South, still dry, still radiant, looked on with a mixture of pride and fear.

	She had been given a task that seemed simple: to supervise the redistribution of flows between Primary Trees of the South and Hydraulic Towers of the North.

	There were those who said the North had begun to demand light too regularly. That their rain-fed crops expanded beyond what was necessary.
