Beef Sarnie

I have now come to a conclusion, hot beef sarnie is nice, but it is a "healthier" version of a steak slice, and twice the price...

Carrier Pigeon

How offgrid can we truly be?  Should we all start training our carrier pigeon?  Which is very hackable.

Online Seeds Shopping

We went to 3 stores to look for some climbing beans, and none of them sell them.  So we ended up looking for some seeds online.  We got some seeds online before, in particularly microgreen, and they worked well.  In contrary, we got seeds from shop before, and they weren't that good.  Let's see how these turn out.

Free Tea Pot

We were eating at a restaurant, and it has a sign saying, if we leave a review, we get a tea pot.  I did ask the server, and they said that is correct.  But we did not actually pursue it, we would never know what kind of teapot we would get, or the actually a teapot of something tea or something,

Planets Viewing

Venus is easy enough to see.  I think I saw Saturn before, my 60x scope is really inadequate for this purpose.  We think we also see Mars and Jupiter.

Energy Modelling

I was playing around with Heat Punk, which was pretty good.  Now I am onto non domestic and more complicated modelling, it is going to be fun...

Off Grid Installation

I had to do some research on off grid PV installation.  I have concluded it is best to adopt the caravan leisure systems.

Commercial Char Siu

I made char siu for everyone.  Similar to last time I made teriyaki chicken, they were individual lump of meat and they were chopped after roasting before serving.  Maybe we could have serve it in lumps, for them to chop up at the table themselves...

Birmingham Odyssey

We went to Birmingham to see the biker, we parked at the usual spot, rode the train into town.  Along the way, we got on the wrong platform, we had Japanese food.

One the way back, there was a massive delay.  We checked and we looked.  We went to one customer service counter to another.  We were told to go to Coventry.  I was not convinced, but we went.  The platform was full of people, we couldn't get on one, and waited for another.

We walked up and down the platform, talked to more characters along the way.  They tried to palm us off to Nuneaton, which I refused.  We waited.  And by some miracle, train announcement said the upcoming train is going to go where we needed to go!

We made sure we get off where we needed to get off.  We found food in my car, and we start the drive home, along the way, we went to get more food.

It was a long journey!

Yorkshire Business Fair

I missed the last Yorkshire Business Fair, which was held in a venue a mile from me.  I finally got an opportunity to go.  It was a very generalist business fair.  There were a lot of freebies, but I refrained from getting too many!
