Your tech breaks. Buying new seems cheaper than repairing. We’re making the Right to Repair the new standard in Europe.

Graphic designed as a smartphone screen with a cracked display, showing a humorous decision tree about repairing broken tech. The title reads, “Should I toss my broken tech?” It asks, “Do I hate money?” If yes: “A bit!” If no: “Is it under warranty?” If yes: “Repair it! BOOM: free 1-year warranty extension!” If no: “Am I a billionaire?” If no: “Fix it! Spare parts for up to 10 years.” If maybe: “Soon: EU site for cheap local repairs.” A repair icon and battery symbol appear at the top, and the EU flag is shown in the bottom left corner.

After listening to Andy Burnham’s speech, it made me realise that if he really does what he says about local areas getting the power to decide what they need, if you vote say… a green council in, they will have more power to do what you voted for. Which is how it should be.

I got 10 seeds from the heritage seed library for Suttons Early Giant #pea. Nine germinated, and were planted at my #allotment. here is the result from the first pods. Great! 🫛 I’m going to let it provide seeds this year and grow a bigger crop next year. #UKGardening

4 pea pods on a wooden table. You can clearly see large pea in two of the pods which are split open.

At last! A coherent plan for dealing with the perversity of fossil gas largely setting electricity prices, even though it supplies only 1/4 of our power. Stepping into the market like this offends the government's deepest instincts. But it needs to happen. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lets not do anything about Climate Change it's too difficult, it's not like Solar and Wind are 8x cheaper than Fossil Fuel and only need to be replaced every 40/25 years. Oh wait... The only reason we don't act is to protect the outrageous Fossil Fuel profits.

I only discovered this within the past year or so, but sash windows were designed to enable passive ventilation. If you open them at the top and bottom they suck in cool air and expel hot air. It seems to work too. #HotWeather #StayingCool

This nut bowl and unusual egg cup are the first things I have made with my pottery course. I know they are simple, but ‘I’ made them. I have also made a cup and plate, so I may have the complete set for breakfast. 😀

A small blue/green bowl sits next to a small egg cup holder with a foot. A large egg sits on the egg cup.

Visited RHS Wisley today by coach. It was lovely to see all the autumn colours. Even sat into the odd talk, and visit tropical greenhouses. I had to treat myself to some plants to bring home.

A whole host of autumnal harvests site on autumn leaves, including pumpkins, courgettes, apples and more. An orange pumpkin has RHS caved into it.

Gas makes renewable energy cost more than it should. I want to see the link between gas and electricity broken so we can enjoy the cheaper renewable energy we are generating in the UK. We sometimes generate 50% of our own renewable energy.

Richard Tice is making it up as he goes along… Yes, wholesale energy is too expensive. But it’s nothing to do with net zero - the price of gas is what’s keeping our electricity bills too high - that’s a fact. This is just another stupid counter factual culture war.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
