Euro mini tour

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Picked up a few bio wines or certainly bearing fine environmental badges of varying colour and wording in the bold French. All very nice and on reflection quite surprised that I will literally shop on bio badge presence and of course price. Most I have spent in a hypermarche is 4 euro per dropping to 2.90 euro.

A nice winetasting yesterday onsite from as local as you can get, 1,000 mtrs behind those cliff houses? Terroir, don't speak to me about terroir, I'm living it! Paid more but that was cool.

Bought a half dozen red and same in white to make a mixed box for our friends tomorrow. It's very nice down here and the combination of Internet access to chase down low cost stove parts, B Road driving and red wine has made for a lovely time. Apologies for the tiny FF use cooking last night, Saucisson, first hot meal in 5 days! :D

Three 3.7m diameter. Real ratings are 1KW each. Been up since 2008.

Even though these are supposed to be the best in the World, they are still alot of maintenance every year, especially the re-balancing of the blades.

Nowadays, i tell folk to fill there boots with PV, PV and more PV on static arrays, no moving parts.

I worked ROV's for decades so know the benefit of a well pitched prop. Where and how do your props become unbalanced? Also interested in the reference mode for recal?

What is the output on those 1kW units pa? To be clear I would love to have a massive WT in our garden but the topography doesn't favour it. Thus I am endlessly fascinated and overjoyed for those that can.

From the morning walk.
Seeing quite a lot of Ebikes on this trip, some really nice bits of kit.. A couple days ago we saw an escooter rider bombing along on the road, no lid and I swear this is true, working his mobile smartphone with his left hand and focussed on the screen. :o
