Rethinking Power Outlets

I remember when we looked at the Yaris, they have phased out all the USB-A and cigarette jacks, so I would have to get all new USB-C cables.

Then the new power station also does not have a cigarette jack.  On the assumption that USB-C is here to stay, and it is powerful enough to replace a chunky cigarette jacks, I just need to find replacement cables for USB-C to DC jack to replace my devices with cigarette jacks.  Or I just have to accept the inefficiency by using AC adaptor and increase the conversion loss.

Speed Fixing

At the repair cafe, you see the trivial repairs, and you fixed it in two minutes.  Someone at the Leeds festival called me magic for zipping their tent up in minutes.  And I refit a child's bike's brake and changed a fuse, all done at the drop of the hat, they were really quite trivial...

Lost Not Found

I dropped my little power bank in the camp site, and I kept asking the shops if anyone handed it in.  I looked and looked.  It was a useful little power bank, I was a little sad.

Portable Power Station III

We recommended the same power station to someone, and their also arrived.  They also have a solar only system, so they are now enjoying the morning and evening electric heater use, and the thought that should there be a rare power cut, they can keep the freezer going.

Meanwhile, one of the days, I managed to use 50% before recharging.  And that we are making good use of the X-boost function.

Autumn Camping

The forecast was very good, so I brave myself for a weekend in my tiny tent.  I did plan for the night being cold, so I packed the biggest sleeping bag.  On the last day, there were so much condensate, that the sheets were dripping when I put them away.

That is my camping badge refreshed.

Lincolnshire Mills

I went on the bike to visit and revisit some mills.  Sibsey Trader is English Heritage and it was free and well managed.  Waltham put the cap back on, and apparently they sells rolled porridges.  So I stopped at 3 windmills, one water mill and saw another windmill enroute.

Bacon Flatbread

We had a couple of couple coupon for breakfast flatbreads at Dishoom.  They were okay, they managed to make at least three mistakes in our small order.  We are glad we tried.
