It's Saturday! For many of us, probably the best day of the week. Even if it turns out to be crap then we still have Sunday waiting in reserve.

So, what are your exciting plans for this, a traditional drizzly British summer weekend?

We were planning another two day camping trip, but with thunderstorms forecast at our destination, I think as a family we have all decided to dump that concept and just doss around instead.

Went to London to see the Bleak Expectations show at Criterion on Piccadilly. Very silly! Nice to see Jack Dee in person

We're getting a bigger solar battery installed next week! So lots of tidying up the porch, making sure we have tea and biscuits on hand, and researching whether we can move to a dynamic electricity tariff.

And hoping next week is sunnier so we can fill the damned thing!

We moved onto Octopus Agile which has been great so far ~3 months. Todays rates for reference

I have a (very low) fixed tariff with them, but I'll move to agile when it ends.

Supposed to be going a cycle to Eglington Country Park but, much like yourselves, since it’s pissing down I’ve just fannied around all morning.

I ran Ethernet cable upstairs so at least I’ve done something I guess. Although some prick eyeballed “I reckon we’ll need around 50m” because I was too lazy to dig out my tape measure. Consequently I’ve got about 25m of it coiled in a basket. It’ll do for now I guess, but I feel like a right dobber.

If it makes you feel any better I've got a spool of 50m of Ethernet cable that I've had for about 10/15 years due to a similar reasoning.
