Leek and Mushroom Tagliatelle for us. With cream and tarragon. Very nice it was too.

Most recently watched an unbelievably long video lecture (in a few sittings), which thankfully was very good When is it Fascism?

I'm a huge podcast fan. Great for when walking the dog solo. I used to listen to Kermode and Mayo film podcast which had a good listener community and in-jokes but I don't find time for it any more and I hardly ever watch films any more so it doesn't seem so useful. I listen to a lot of...

You've made me review my list and I see I mostly follow EV related channels even though I'm happy with our MG4 and was planning for it to be our very long term car. But I also follow quite a lot of climate and energy transition stuff: Climate town (the funniest channel I've seen, even though...

Toyota 2000GT would be nice. Nissan 300ZX (Z32) might be a bit more realistic.

Mushroom and Quorn stroganoff for Pebbles and I. A favourite. Had some finger chillies unused from the dahl so popped them in as well.

Thanks very much! 😊

It is certainly a transition with all that accompanies such a thing. Australia should be one of the easiest to transition because of all the solar and wind potential and the low population density, as you say. The countries with a lot of hydro or geothermal like Norway and Iceland are...

I would interpret this as being like the Octopus rule. You have to have at least one of them. If neither car nor charger is compatible then you can't have the tariff. If you've got a compatible EVSE you'll be fine. No, our EVSE hasn't been integrated with any of the smart tariffs as yet.

It was quorn fajitas for us tonight while watching Forest get a famous 5-0 victory at Sunderland. Will make a dahl tomorrow afternoon for an early meal before heading to a birthday gathering in London.

Looking shiny! Nice car for someone to get second hand. Good luck with the new motor. Feel free to let us know how you get on with the famously efficient 'windknife'

Absolutely! It isn't free. Well, it is free to produce. But using it means you miss out on credit. As an economist might say, it is an opportunity cost.

31.24kWh for us today. Here is our fondant fancy.... I think maybe something weird happened around 8am and something got postponed into the next period. Just checked and it was a bit higher yesterday at 31.7kWh. The first days over 30kWh this year! Only on the 7th of April had we produced...

There are different versions of this complaint: Inability to generate the required amount, resulting in brownouts Inability of local grids to cope with increased power throughput The answer, it seems to me, is just grid upgrade planning, demand response (variable pricing) and batteries...

I think given how unlikely this is to occur outside an MG dealer/event context it would be worth at least 10,000 trophy points. I don't expect it will happen without something dodgy (pre-arranged meet-up or AI).
