Old chap, keen on clocks, stamps, old engines and measuring residual stresses. Slowly getting to grips with a Polestar 2 and PV solar array.

Ouch! That's a lot of gas and wood ☹️.
I occasionally watch the "Diggle Junction" and "Diggle Diaries" YouTube feed showing loco and rolling stock movements across the Pennines (where I used to do trainspotting as a lad in the '50s). Train after train of wood from Liverpool to Drax 😧

It's been a busy old time, on this day, while you were away! Welcome back 👍.

Are there any TinyTalk classes near you? I understand that they use BSL.

My very first Airfix kit in, around, 1959 (?), age 6. Loved it!

Get well soon. I sincerely hope you don't need to be manhandled on a stretcher between too many decks.

Reassuring to see a straw boater safety hat in use while moving heavy equipment!

Thank you. A reminder, each day, of how much we owe, over so many years. 🙏

Philip Whitehead @psw100.bsky.social · 23d

Well, that told them.

The order in which the plotted data is stacked may disguise some of the trends. Solar plotted directly above nuclear leads to a strong day-frequency base line for wind, which makes the true trend of wind (night/day) difficult to follow. Could the solar/wind order be inverted?

Thank you for this information, as always, very interesting. I have a comment/question about the presentation:

Such a wonderful name! Wikipedia lists her as the former French privateer "Le Jeux". I suppose "Child's Play" is in a similar general area of naming but misses the meaning by a mile. Thank you again for your carefully related reports of losses.
