Off adventuring!

The scale of figures made it all the more surprising!

A whole chicken 57tl per kilo

Deboned large chicken breast/flank 190tl per kilo!

My wee 1.9 kilo bird has been seasoned (garlic powder, Himalayan salt, pepper and pirri pirri) and is cooking nicely.

Literally 1 minute to get it started. Already the smells!




24tl to £
After first 15 minutes the unit is element on 60 secs, element off 40 secs. I am running it at 200 degs. That's 1,080W to cook the chicken. About 1/2 the power of a conventional fan oven maybe?

BOOM! Max results, Min effort!

SWMBO's 5V kingdom, active cooling solution. It works.

Away up the road later this afternoon. The 5V gear is going into a drawer until we return in July.

Looking forward to trying out the 5V to 12V cable and see if the network box back in Scotland will work. One folding PV panel, a fan and a couple of table lamps going home as we may be away Bongoing soon.

So basically, two phones charged every day for a month, lights at night, fans at night, tunes for going out. All from the folding PV and absolute screeds of back up if the power went off (which it did twice). Total result!

Well that was interesting . Left the I5 with only 30 miles on it when we flew as incredibly tight for time and Ionity at Perth was full..

Went to it at half past midnight on return and dead as the dodo!

Turns out that the main pack doesn't charge the 12v if soc is below 20% (which it certainly was). Got a 'jump' start off of a volvo diesel and off we went to charge at a 50kW before going up the road. One to be aware of!

Got home, had a kip. Octopus mini hooked up and working, wbs flue swept and wbs most certainly on (6 degs on EV)
A few lights and cables too. A bit of a geek impromtu Xmas morning!

Back already Joe? "whisht" man, you haven't been gone long enough to turn you pants inside out yet surely!?

(as you do when travelling light) ..cough, so I hear.

He thinks I jest

Chlorine, bug killer, clothes refresher.

Cannot do anything about v.s.m (visible skidmark potential) ..but that is surely why travellers originally picked out khaki's & browns.

Broon troo's joe .. travellers equivalent of secret sauce

It's a shame / lucky (depending on your perspective) you don't travel through London airports Joe, a relative (bad copper) is a chief in security, could've got him to demonstrate the internal search on you for giggles by now

hiding led bulbs *in* your person to avoid the import duty? hope they aren't glass blown joe.

How odd..

My 5V shenanigans continues with more minimal lightage.
