Bumped into a couple of fellow YouTubers while at Everything Electric Farnborough today (@tillathenun.bsky.social and UpsideDownFork). Plus loads of viewers said hello, which was lovely. Going back tomorrow so if we missed you today feel free to say hello tomorrow. Great job, @bobbyllew.bsky.social

A chart showing my monthly net consumption (consumption - solar generation) for the last 18 months, together with the annual rolling average. The annual rolling average has been taking steadily since March and is now nearly at zero.
I've just been updating our monthly stats for how much we generate from our solar array, and how much electricity we've consumed. My aim has been to reach the point where we generate as much in one year as we consume, and we're now super close! Only 100 kWh net consumption over the last year! #solar

Kat and I haven't done a news update video for about two years, and we had a few things to mention, so here's us nearly succeeding in doing a quick roundup:

We got out of the cave and have now listened to the episode. Turned out pretty well, I thought, although I'm annoyed they didn't mention the YouTube channel like they said they would.

Just recorded a short interview with the BBC Radio 4 programme You and Yours about our air conditioning system. Should be part of the episode broadcasting on Monday 15th. It'll only be a couple of minutes long but I'm curious to see what the reaction to it is. #greentech

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this tool could save some people hundreds of pounds a year. I genuinely think this is one of the most useful things I've ever done. And I was part of the team that signed Mo Salah to LFC!

It's been complicated but I'm nearly there! I'm excited to share the results soon. Just a few more tweaks.

Heat pumps are great, we all know this. We've got a little one sat on top of our hot water cylinder. It's pretty good!

The IPC has confirmed our worst fears. We cannot sit idle while this catastrophe unfolds.
Trump has the power to stop the devastation. He needs to pick up the phone to Netanyahu - today - and threaten consequences unless aid routes into Gaza are fully reopened.
So what do Kat and I think of this new UK EV grant then?

Labour seems totally incapable of cleaning up our water. Banning bonuses is least they should do (& water companies are getting round it anyway). Re-announcing old pledges & peddling myths about cost of nationalisation wonβt cut it. Bring water into public hands now #bbclaurak
