It’s about 6 weeks since our solar & batteries were installed & 9 days since our export tariff was set up. We have had a zero electricity bill still day one, but we still paid for our gas usage, but once payment for our exports kicked in we’ve been on a daily negative energy bill including gas!

We arrived in Hamburg to find a rail/port strike was on! the net result is we are now only staying in Hamburg today (leaving at 3pm ish), that 16 hours earlier than planned! Luckily our excursion to Lubeck wasn’t cancelled so we still get to go 😎, 5 other tours got cancelled due to lack of time.

Ok so I’m a little out of my depth here on Bluesky, but I’m going to try. I didn’t get on with twitter, even B4 musk.
I’m now going to try and remove Facebook from my life and I’ve picked “Vero” to replace it, is there a better app that will make that transition easier?
