My opinions here
Nature (likely via the neighbour’s cat) obviously decided we hadn’t done enough to decorate our house for Halloween…

My recommendation from this week is: if you leave a gig saying "that was so good I could see it again", it's worth checking twickets, even if it's sold out, because then you can do just that #DoubleSelfEsteem 🥳 @selfesteem.music-social.com

My contribution to the Angela Raynor resignation debate: The are now 70 people watching a second hand pair of ME+EM green trousers on Vinted now...

Noting this...
Mind you, it would also require some means of coping with the vast clouds of ticks and midges there

And for a really extraordinarily unique book (which must really be read as a physical copy), I ended up reading The Raw Shark Texts after reading an intriguing thread on twitter back in the old days ... "what if your memories could be stolen by a conceptual shark" that's alive in the text 🦈

Once again very grateful for the Wellcome Collection making a much better and cooler waiting room than Euston... And an opportunity to quickly catch the very topical Thirst exhibition, which incidentally has awesome aircon ☀️☀️☀️

Yes, but a video of it in action probably helps to get it across. On that note, loved this visualisation of CO2 flows at the 'You:Matter' exhibition in Bradford

In the midst of researching drought resistant plants for the garden, time for the annual #ShowYourStripes for why this is now necessary for the once stereotypically wet and cold NW UK

Delighted that Beyond Belief Brewing have now launched in Sainsbury's, because they're in my @innovateuk.bsky.social #CircularEconomy portfolio and we're obviously not allowed freebies! Really interesting tech for making high-value use of lots of (otherwise) wasted foods

Thank you to whoever in Sheffield championed the planting of wild and drought tolerant flowers in the verges and roundabouts of the city. So much more appealing, and presumably better for nature, than scrappy bits of grass.

With the right zoom level, it's definitely reached the continent in time 😂

...
- top up with remaining batter
- put in oven for about 18-20mins (at 200C)
- remove and allow to cool (if you can resist just eating them)
- finally give up waiting and eat... several
End 3/3

...
- stir everything together fairly roughly
- prepare muffin cases (between 12-16)
- add dessert spoon of the batter to each case, followed by a few pieces of rhubarb
- add spoon of custard on top of rhubarb
...cont 2/3

Since it's worth repeating..
- acquire a few sticks of rhubarb
- chop, coat in a little sugar, stick in oven at 200C whilst do the rest (about 10mins)
- add one cup of custard to bowl
- add 3 cups of self raising flour, 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup veg oil and 3 eggs
Cont... 1/3

Finally, 4 years after moving in, and now re-planted in a raised bed, our rhubarb plant has regained enough health to be harvested for rhubarb and custard muffins. Recalled once documenting the improvised recipe here: www.instagram.com/p/4ZbBvhle0z...

#CircularEconomy Sunday, attempting to fix a ps5 controller and packaging up Vinted clothing sales #Repair #ReUse 😁

Really appreciated @markshayler.bsky.social hosting and particularly the wrap-up session, reminding us that we may have been talking about #CircularEconomy for years, but all the pieces have to come together for it to make a real hit in the public’s eye

Lots of interest from the audience at the Festival of Circular Economy today to get into the details of the CE Task Force and strategy development.

Battery and solar proving useful in the rather large power cut that just happened in Cheshire. Shame there isn't a way to turn off all the house alarms in the area that couldn't cope... 🚨😬

Retrofit milestone update... Yesterday was first day of being Net Energy Exporters 😁
Technically has been the case for all of April, except for overnight car charging on the 1st. #ActuallyWorryingHowSunnyItIs
April 3, 2025 at 9:03 PM
Today was about #CarbonAccounting with an event highlighting the learning from the @catapultnetwork.bsky.social project developing a standardised framework for manufacturers, funded by @innovateuk.bsky.social .Great to join the panel with @jrbarrett.bsky.social talking urgency of addressing carbon
April 1, 2025 at 9:11 PM
I thought we'd done well getting over 20kWh for the first time today 😁
March 18, 2025 at 11:39 PM
Big milestone in the home #retrofit progress today, with the solar and battery setup powering the house outside the hours of the cheap overnight @octopus.energy Intelligent Go tariff hours. Even managed a tiny bit of export to grid.

Although it would be nicer to actually be out in the sun today, it was still fun seeing our #solar install make it past the 8kWh mark whilst working from home today.
