Rambling tootings (?) from the mind of a Glaswegian helmet camera multi-modalist. Also interested in renewable heating and energy. He/him

It's not often you get a world championship elite road race following part of your cycle commuting route to work. 😁 #Torrance #BalmoreRoad #uciworldchampionships2023
My gas connection is now fully disconnected. Previously the meter had been removed, but now they've cut the gas off two metres beyond the boundary of the house. It did require some detective work to find the gas pipe and a very deep hole in my driveway! All filled in now with only two broken slabs which they should replace. #HeatPump, #SolarPV and #Batteries or bust!
I'm taking the plunge... decided to switch off the #trackpad on my laptop to be see if I can get on with the #trackpoint. I'm going in...
Oooh. I see new segregated #CycleLanes appearing on Byres Road in #Glasgow. A proper #FloatingBusStop as well... Oooh..
One of those days where your rucksack decides to unzip itself during your #cycle commute to work. Fortunately nothing was lost!
We've been on the #OctopusEnergy #Flux tariff for 90 days now. This allowed us to load shift using our #batteries & to force discharge electricity when export tariffs are higher (between 4pm-7pm). We've also been taking advantage of our #SolarPV and our #HeatPump.
Last year before the PV & batteries were installed we averaged about 16kW energy usage per day. Over 90 days that would cost Β£540. This year same bill is Β£6.72. Savings of about Β£533.
More financial help needed to spread this tech.
Want a laugh? Here's me on a large waterslide in Austria recently, failing miserably to land properly. A few bruises on my arms and a slightly dented pride were my only injuries. 🀣 Austria is fab!
Am I sad when I look out on a sunny day and I don't think, 'That's nice weather', and instead think, 'Ooh, that's lots of #solar power!'? Been a perfect day so far...
Generated 26kWh today!! We did 4 clothes washes! 😲 #solarPV
