We've had some regular #USAF #B1 refueling action over Cornwall recently. Been getting some views but low sun and haze has stopped me getting good shots, but today was my best capture so far. 4 tankers today with the 2 B1s

Always look forward to these messages from #NHS #Blood

This was my 58th donation of ‘NEO’ blood that is suitable for newborn babies, potentially saves another 6 babies lives 😊

If you can, #giveblood if you already do, THANK YOU!

Well I didn’t have seeing the #northernlights as a likely possibility anytime soon in St Austell, probably anytime ever, but actual green waves as well as the glows of red! Not the best photos but was very rushed and overly excited to be seeing them! It’s calmed down now so off to warm up in bed! #aurora #auroraborealis #cornwall

Not the best of photos i know but there is a little bit of mist over St Austell and the street lights and rugby club flood lights are giving an amazing effect that tue photo really can’t do justice!

LOL just went down to catch the last of the Castle Set #HST going through #Cornwall and due to the down being a few mins late, got photo bombed by... another Castle Set on the up line! Could have been worse but made for a great parting photo :)

Edit to add a photo!

So in Saturday’s 3 hour #Octopus #OctopusEnergy #FreeElectricity session we managed 61.3 kWh peaking at almost 25kW. Only due to car not being quite empty and house battery not initially charging at full rate then getting fully charged, that we didn’t manage so more kWhs.

EDIT: Now I have Octopus' official readings, I actually got 64.759kWh, let down just by the last half hour where I only managed 8.6kWh 🙂

My effort for tonight's #FreePower from #Octopus

Peaking at just over 25kW for few times, using 19.8kWh in total.

Another 3 hour session tomorrow where I doubt I'll be able to sustain similar demand!
