Started on the Getting Ready For Autumn jobs: Wood shed cleaned out and remaining logs stacked - got the winter full load coming in a few weeks time. Started on the garden tidy up - summer stuff like chairs cleaned up. Few more jackets re-proofed - make the most of the remaining warm days. Need to b...

Basically, its a UPS for a fridge. Automatically kicks in when the mains drops. Not cheap though.

I have a slight neurosis about lithium batteries. I have a lot - both single cell 18650's, power banks with several and big old powerbanks like Aferiy and Ecoflow.

Not a prep.
Just standing in the conservatory watching and listening to it rain...

Been sorting through some weather apps for bike rides. 50% chance of rain tomorrow is meaningless. 50% chance at 10am is still meaningless. Some apps tell me it's 50% chance of 0mm.

No 20! Definitely a bargain! Tried both my local Lidl's - can't find those folding water containers anywhere. They were at the end of one of the middle aisles - with the folding washing up bowls if that's helpful?! I guess they may have had them and sold out but I did have to search a bit for them....
