If there is a foul wind a blowin' then drop by for a chat - about coconuts of anything else off topic.

Joe, you know how want to. Just do it for the outside cooking/contingency vibe.

You’d love it - steak a la plancha on top of it. Superb 8-)

The scrappy was in having a late lunch at my mates place. I had had a single pint. By rights I should be wirebrushing it this morning after the scrappy dropped it off but my sanity held. I really don't need it! Massively appealing though it is... :lol: :twisted:

Aye,I know and completely agree. Yet I sadly had to. SWMBO liked it as well. :(

A quick check from apartment indoor temperature to direct sunlight. I think a pot of water would see significant gains! :o

Aye, I've been watching, :(
Daughter was up from Edinburgh for Mon-Fri last week. Son batting back and forth too. Checked the grid power use. One good day at the turbine last week covered the lot for the week! :)
WBS will be back on when we get home later this week and I'll make a lamb curry on it too. Gonna clean out the flue as first job in the door.

Can't emphasise enough how advantageous those big PV arrays are on marginal days (or weeks).

Airfryer on for lunch. Chicken legs lightly salted, pirri pirri'd and in they went. Absolutely excellent with fresh local bread and tomatoes. Intense flavours for literally zero effort.👌 SWMBO says about £1.50 each for lunch, incl fruit juice and ice cubes. 😋


She must be feeling guilty as I've done all the cooking here (happy to).so she brought up how busy she is at home. I just looked at her and we burst out laughing. :lol:

Currently pumping out Journey don't stop believing via Bluetooth, powered by a solar charged supermarket bought bargain bin 10,000mAh battery. The speaker is about 8 years old, still working fine. Internal batteries pretty much humped, doesn't matter. To further labour the 👉.

Phone with tunes solar charged
Bluetooth speaker solar operated
Via
10,000 mAh supermarket solar charged 🔋.

I've always loved having my tunes on, there's just something so elegant about the circular nature of whole shooting match being powered by the big one. 😍

GOTTA love this stuff! :D 8-)
