Solar as Saving Bond

One of Youtube electricians made a suggestion that solar installation is more like a saving bond.  Instead of thinking it of an investment, searching for a return on investment.  It is like a saving bond, that gives 10% return year on year, and it can be improved it you could run the battery/self-consumption better.  There is no product that gives this kind of return.

Discounted Coffee Stockpiling

I went to a couple supermarkets, and they are clearing out their coffees ready for more summery drinks.  I am now fully stashed with coffee at a good price, what is not to love.

Outdoor Oregano

The oregano shrank a lot over the winter.  We moved the oregano to outside this year.  It has its first growth spurt. The leaves are much bigger, it does look happier.

Char Siu Wrap

I made some char siu cubes for barbeque, how they are supposed to be.  Then people put them in a wrap, how very strange...

York Pride

York Pride has moved up to May this year, which was even better for the asparagus season.  We got some asparagus and went to pride.  We stopped at a few stalls.  I was short of notepad, and I managed to get one.  It was so warm and sunny that we needed a quench at Tesco after.

York Dungeon

We went to York Dungeon for a laugh.  It was a little weird, I was very much not at ease.  Some bit I did find amusing, but they are very loose with the history.  Ticked, no need to go back.  I am not sure we have the time and patience for the one in London.
