@zarch1972.bsky.social Hello, loving the podcast! I learnt about Predbat and Axle VPP, now currently fiddling with whether I can control my Powerwall's export from HA. I noticed in the Intelligent Octopus terms 2.4.1.9(f) - it looks like you can't join another DRS service (such as Axle) when on IOG?

I have a bean to cup espresso machine, and my wife has a Nespresso machine as she likes the variety of flavours. As I start both machines concurrently each morning, and then put some milk on to froth, I often wonder two things...

The other thing I just discovered, which is really bloody useful, is multi-net SIMs/eSIMs which roam onto any of the 4 major UK networks to get you data wherever you are. anywhereesim.com does a convenient OTA eSIM provision, and www.amazon.co.uk/stores/page/... physical SIMs.

Private COVID vaccinations in the UK are only available for over 12s. All of my children are under 12 - two are eligible for vaccines due their autism diagnosis, and one has been suffering long COVID for 2 years. How can I get vaccines for the other two? Can we get them in France or Ireland?
