Thought you'd be free of my nonsense when I am finally gathered up into the arms of the Lord? Think again, assholes.
And the second wasn't bad either
One thing need to work out is hot water though as takes too long. I believe I might be in eco mode so will fix that next.
Vaillant vs Heatmiser seems to be a couple of degrees out. So setting my Vaillant to 21 but many rooms on Heatmiser are about 24 degrees so it's toasty. Together with Octopus Cozy and the battery it's working really well so far. Though curve settings I will look at I think.
First few days with the Valiant Heat pump after the five day install with British Gas. So far just getting used to it. Have Heatmiser round the house but a single zone and just seeing how the house reacts to the low for the Ufh. So far I've had to back the temperature down on the main controller.
I have a Vaillant 5kw going in. I have Ufh throughout house so it hopefully will be better than my current gas boiler for that. Would love to move to induction hob but have a 100cm range cooler to replace in the kitchen but need to also possibly upgrade my power to there as well.
Two days away from getting my new Vaillant Heat pump installed. Don't have hot water or heating for some of the week but excited to see this project come alive. Battery already installed to try to take advantage of it. And then I just have gas for my cooler hobs (which are not going to change)
Zipcar is shutting down its UK operations, basically the only car club that worked in London. Massive kick to anyone who tries to live in capital without owning a car. Having been a customer for 17 years and used Zipvans to move house repeatedly, this is.... very bad! (Zipcar is owned by Avis)
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."
The cost of living crisis was caused in large part by gas prices.
Heat pump policy supports a solution which which gets the country off gas AND reduces emissions.
I seriously hope this is some crossed wires, if not we really are in trouble.

TELEGRAPHIC MEMORY “STATE censorship and press control is rife,” warned the Telegraph of the United Arab Emirates when a fund backed by the country’s vice-president looked likely to take full control of the newspaper. Former editor and ongoing columnist Charles Moore warned that this would be “unforgivable” on the grounds that even the UAE’s “best friends would not pretend that it is a democracy, or that it has institutionalised the rights and liberties of the Western world”. Now that the same UAE-backed fund has got government clearance to retain just a 15 percent share, releasing the paper from its two-year ownership limbo, the Telegraph seems much, much keener on the place. All year opinion columnist Isabel Oakeshott has been singing the praises of her move to Dubai, the UAE’s biggest city – but she’s not the only one. “Weather, quality of life, a sense of community: why I left stagnant Britain for Dubai,” read a column at the start of this month by PR Alice Holtham-Pargin. Another, by travel writer John O’Ceallaigh, said: “I joined the exodus to Dubai – and it’s a relief to be out of the UK.” As well as the opinion desk, the money section of the Telegraph has also been bigging up the UAE. An article from late July headlined “Quitting high-tax Britain? Here’s where to move for the most money” put the UAE first on its list. Money reporter Madeleine Ross interviewed a real estate agent who said: “I’m 33 and leaving for Dubai – the earning opportunities are enormous,” while a news piece quoted perfumer Jo Malone, who moved to Dubai four years ago, brown-nosing the city’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed as “the most wonderful leader”. The travel pages have been joining in too
Lots of Telegraph writers ranting about Britain's spiral into despotism seem to have decamped to...the autocratic UAE. Via Private Eye
London is increasingly under Shania law. And that don't impress me much.

Totally not a cult.
Going from sea level to 2500m is really hitting me hard. Wanted to run this week but even walking feels like I need to acclimatise a bit more.
So much wrong with this email from @daznde.bsky.social

Funny thing you notice after a while is that institutions really do start to take on the personality of the person at the top. In this case, the Tory party feels deeply, viscerally unpleasant.
There's a list on trakt of all the seasons which I have used. But so many classics like Vanishing Point and I think also introduced me to HK
and Japanese cinema
Get a coffee with a loyalty card. Then spend the next few days with multiple emails asking for feedback on my visit. And couriers asking for the same. Feels like my email account is just asking for validation for services these days.

All across Europe eh, Trainline?

It is pretty funny that even after Musk has fed this thing a constant diet of Nazi propaganda it is still smarter than your average Fox News viewer
I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
The barriers were installed despite a FOI request revealing that no complaints or reports of collisions between pedestrians and cyclists in the park were submitted to the council last year – with the local authority admitting that the decision was made purely on “anecdotal” evidence
For an ending of a show to only have 6 episodes is beyond disappointing. Guess only need to subscribe to Paramount for a month or so now
CM: Help our viewers then understand who you are as a Conservative. You referred to previous Conservative leaders. Your shadow chancellor yesterday, Mel Stride, eviscerated Liz Truss and his argument being that she trashed your party's reputation for economic competence. Why not-... throw her out the party? We saw Keir Starmer throw Jeremy Corbyn out the party as a badge of saying the party has changed. Why not do the same for Liz Truss? KB: Is she still in the party? CM: Well, you tell me. KB: Well you tell me. You're the one asking the question. CM: You're the party leader.
fair to say Kemi Badenoch’s last interview on BBC wasn’t a storming success
The Tories are already trying to pretend that their decade and a half of rule didn't exist. Got a hilarious flier through the door
Ordinary people "feel like mugs" for paying when others feel they can get away without doing so, says Robert Jenrick, who was found to have falsely claimed £122 in travel expenses, and used his own office to help a Conservative donor avoid paying £45m in tax www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...
Today is the day! The heat pump 1m rule finally gets lifted. Getting my own heat pump installed later this year (planning no longer required!) 🥳
