Not your main concern I’m certain but I still see you!

You've often seen charts showing how the IEA's scenarios underestimate renewable energy - but they also tend *not* to overestimate fossil fuels.

Eg: gas consumption is higher than the IEA's 'current policies' scenario from 2015 (and every other scenario they published)

British Library. Sorry should have clarified!

Those aren’t Christmas decorations, they’re completely legit kitchen decor.

I can potentially delay it into next
year but then again I may have cause to be in London anyway for family reasons that may leave me with time to kill during the day so it’d be good to know how things stand?

Just keep a few strings of lights and special colourful things and clear out the rest when it starts to be in the way!

Grew up pitting them up on Christmas Eve but keeping at least some of them up until Candlemas in the continental tradition, which is rather lovely.

Use deep pots (my neighbours gift me their spares), sow very thinly into sandy compost, water, cover with a plastic bag and uncover once they germinate. When they get going put them on a sheltered shelf outside, planting out once they fill the pots. This method has revolutionised my harvests! 🥕🌱

That too but on the assumption that every other comment on this post would be saying that, I thought I’d go for something a bit more niche and very much more me?

I remember when NFTs hit and once we understood how they worked (a receipt for a purchase without an establishment of ownership of anything at all) we immediately got it: you were selling star-naming as a tech scam.

And you said that wasn't true.

And it was.

We *remember,* assholes.
