Well this is disappointing from the @libdems.org.uk @ollyglover.bsky.social I hope you will be taking this up with the people who made this decision within our party. This is making me seriously question my party membership, and whether I should have joined the @greenparty.org.uk instead.

I went out to feed the feral kitty we've been looking after for the last few years and saw a lil bee sitting motionless in the entrance to her feeding hut 😟 A teaspoon of sugary water and she was happily tucking in. 15 mins later she flew off! 🐝😊

People wanting to ban trans athletes in this country could do with watching this video and maybe then they’ll get some perspective as to how ridiculous this has become. www.youtube.com/watch?v=flSS...

By trying to obtain a trade deal with Trump Starmer is colluding in Trump's divide and conquer tactics. The UK should be standing shoulder to shoulder with our democratic partners in Europe, not undermining democracy by collaborating with Trump.

The results are in for our ASHP for 2024. We have a combined SCoP of 4.4 (heating + HW) for the whole year which I am happy with. If we exclude hot water the SCoP is 4.7. I will caveat this with this is built in monitoring. I meant to post this sooner but 2025 has started a bit busier than hoped!

So this morning at 07:00 to 09:00 Octopus Energy were giving away free electricity over and above standard usage for that day/time because of all the excess renewable with it being so windy. Obviously the best thing to do is dump electricity to the grid before hand and then charge up for free! 😜

Screenshot from my Powerwall app showing I em exporting to the grid at 19.3kW.

Screenshot from my Powerwall app showing I em importing to the grid at 20.8kW.

Screenshot from my Powerwall app showing the plan being executed perfectly. We charge up in the cheap rate at 7.5p/kWh, export when that ends at 15p/kWh, and then fill up again with free electricity because we usually use 0 from the grid in this period due to the batteries.

Those of you familiar with my Twitter posts from when I had our air-to-air system(s) installed will know I have had no end of trouble with these. When they work they're great, but we have had numerous refrigerant leaks and it seems it's very likely to have sprung another! FFS 🤬

I currently have an Ecowitt weather station in our back garden which measures all sorts of things like temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, etc. I've also got their outdoor air quality sensors. However, whilst these are good I don't think they're super accurate, especially /1

Rachael @techpoodle.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

My heat pump stats for the last week. The average outside temperature as measured by our weather station was 9.4C. The heating COP was 5.2, the DHW COP was 2.9, for a very respectable combined COP of 4.8. Although these figures are great the hot water needs optimising as it has room for improvement.

Graph from my Ecowitt app of the outside temperature over the last week. The average outside temperature is shown as 9.4C.

Screenshot from my myVaillant app showing my Air Source Heat Pump stats for heating only for the last week. Electricity in 52kWh, Environmental Yield 220kWh, total heat output into the home 272kWh, overall weekly average COP 5.2.
