This is a fascinating piece of the night sky to me. NGC2024 (Flame Nebula) plus the Horsehead nebula seen from near Cambridge, UK tonight. The scale of these objects really surprises me, though we can't see a trace by eye! 2 hours integrated, full moon though 🌕 @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Amen to that👍

A+ headline, 10/10, no notes

👍I’ll have to try…although when it comes to summer on a plate, imho strawberries and balsamic vinegar is a match made in heaven

I’ll have to try using basil a little bit more!

I really should build my Kim Uno kit…https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/kim-uno-summary-c1uuh

Do you use that much basil? Aside from the odd pesto sauce, I’m not sure we ever use that much…

I love Foreign Extra a great deal (I’m used to calling it Nigerian Guinness, as most is brewed in Lagos). Must keep an eye out for the Lomond stout now👍

👍From around the corner from where we lived in Balloch

A kite setup for windy days, and then then the UAV for no-wind days

…and a carrier bag to tote all your world goods?

You’ve definitely got to try again on a less windy day…it’s a fascinating experiment

🤣😁

There are days I dream of 30acres of free holding on a isolated hilltop…instead I got a postage stamp sized garden in an urban London suburb with neighbours all around…

Pretty similar to one of my first Design and Technology projects at school…some basic metalworking skills and a physics lesson combined

4 people dressed in army fatigues stare at a glass of cold beer. The beer glass says Carlsberg on it

Same vib looking at your pint

If your house is TT, then you are probably OK, but you might want to check if your house is PME. The issue might be what happens down stream of you with the earthing setup & a sudden change in potential difference between a PME house setup & a the pseudo partial TT setup you’ve created

Cable entry seal system – better than gland, plate & compound | Roxtec UK & Ireland Roxtec entry seals are safety products that are prefect for cables, pipes and conduits entering walls, floors, roof, decks, bulkheads or electrical cabinets, electrical enclosures, or equipment.

When I have a property that I can do this, I’d use a Roxtec cable gland for the right size/quantity of cables needed. Earth bonding & PME ia a more complex problem & I’d ask for advice from the RSGB technical SME. IMHO many are making risky choices mixing TT & PME www.roxtec.com/uk/knowledge...

The store that took over is Tazaki - and it really is pretty good…but more Japanese products (some great a Japanese beers👍). ChunagLee is around the corner, opposite the Primark, and is also excellent (espec. rice, noodles and ramen in bulk buy quantities)

A cluster of bottles of Koon Yik Wah Kee Guilin style Chilli sauce from China. On the front of the bottle cover is a junk with red and yellow sail

She uses this black bean chilli sauce (pretty much on everything, in the way I use HP sauce🤣). Sadly they no longer sell it locally in Tazaki(Seewoo of old) or ChuangLee in Charlton…so we pick it up in bulk when we go past WaiYeeHong in Bristol

lol! One of my wife’s favourite meals is cauliflower and spam with black bean chilli sauce…and she absolutely loves it!

Thanks Wiggle…thinking about treating myself to a toy, and an Icom would be nice.

The gas price is roughly equivalent to here…but the electricity price is much cheaper👍

Hope it’s better than the R1 I had many years ago…physically it was the cutest little rig, but its RF performance wasn’t quite so good. An impulse buy when I was flying through Schiphol…and I still loved it

What’s the pricing for your electricity? I imagine it’s comparable to our pricing?

With the tariff I am on that’s the same - in fact they pricing can go negative and you can be paid for using the energy.

You had me slightly perplexed there for a moment…

You are absolutely correct👍 Thanks for reminding me of her name
