Heat pump installation is complete!
I'm going to have a challenge boxing it in 🤔 but so far very happy with it. Once I've gotten used to setting the schedules for water and heating, along with temps etc I'll post more about it

After much chaos the heating system is now gurgling away being filled with water in preparation for commissioning.
We did run into a house created problem. The stop tap inside failed... so did the one in the street as it was unmaintained & about 100 years old 🤦♂️
Replacing the outside stop tap!

Currently getting a heat pump installed. It's a bit chaotic 😁
All new radiators throughout the house, plus new cylinder, and the heat pump itself outside.
Glad this was all organised and sorted before I got made redundant last week.

Had a trip to Birmingham to see Gnome playing a gig. Amazing fun, enhanced with silly hats of course!
Then to Think Tank, lunch at Dishoom.
Wonderful time

I hate this. It's not fact or science, born intersex? One of the many biological, chromosomal (XX, XY, XXY, etc), genetic, hormonal insensitivity, etcetera people out there? The Supreme Court apparently just forgot you exist too!

2019's Labour result was 10,269,000 == 32.1% of the total.
2024's result was 9,709,000 == 33.7%
Essentially Labour won in 2024 due to downturn in total number of voters (fewer Tories voting), voter apathy, disillusionment with Tories leading to Reform/LibDems/Green splitting vote.
2024's result was 9,709,000 == 33.7%

I'd just gotten all dressed up and the bloody angle grinder burnt out after 30 seconds 🤦♂️
Early finish to today's boat work I guess.

It's taking days to get these two to equalise their voltages. Occasionally topping them up as I was doing it at too low a voltage initially due to needing to recover the bottom battery from a very low voltage state.
Getting there though.

This is not gamedev related at all but gives me a chance to post a picture 😁
Equalising these 5kwh batteries that got out of sync. They're for the never ending boat project.
The top one is charging the bottom before I restart the charger and bring them both up to charged together.
