We left at 22:30. It’s now 02:20 on Sunday morning. I have some amusing stories to tell. StayContinue reading “A Delay”

Since having a smart meter installed we’ve been able to cut down how much energy we use, but I suspected there was still some savings to be made. It turnsContinue reading “A little look at energy…”
