Or thereabouts.

In the fields really.

Very nice and placid.

It’s nice being able to draw the curtains and not have gongoozlers look onto your boat all the while.

I have some nice orchids growing outside my window. It’s close enough the I can see the insects moving up and down the stems. Closer to nature, I guess they say!

A45 Weedon Bypass

Has been completed. Last November to be exact.

Flowers of conciliation are now growing across the earthworks.

It was definitely noisier last year when their were less plants to absorb the sound and vibrations.

Can hardly hear it now.

Moving up past the waterpoint and sewage farm.

More into the center of the village.

Solar

Since putting the solar panels and buying a new PWM controller for the portable panels, I’ve only been having to start the engine to move the boat.

What I used to have to do every morning for 2 hours. I now do only every other week for about 1 hour.

What’s left is free energy.

By 6pm at night, there is a lot more left, meaning I can watch TV and do those other things I want to.

By 9am the next morning, the batteries are full again.

Who can say this isn’t good value?

Government increases tax rate on domestic solar panels to 20%

The government is trying to discourage people from using these by increasing the VAT on them to full rate, whilst a VAT reduction remains for other fossil fuels energy items such as gas, diesel and coal.

Goods or services VAT rate
Electricity for domestic and residential use or for non-business use by a charity 5%
Gas for domestic and residential use or for non-business use by a charity 5%
Heating oil for domestic and residential use or for non-business use by a charity 5%
Solar panels for domestic and residential use or for non-business use by a charity 20%

Just shows how serious our government is about renewables and climate change.

Thankfully, I’ve got my panels now and I won’t be paying this charge.

The charge comes in in October, so it’s time to getting fitting your panels now.

Or Stowehill, whichever way you want to see it.

Moved into the bad weather. Been buying logs and coal.

Mooring here is on pins, technically, but I managed to get chains behind the railings.

It’s opposite the campsite.

They don’t believe in the Lunar landings.

9/11 was an inside job.

The world is run by a elite cabal of bankers, industrialists and investors.

Most tellingly, Sandy Hook, (and any other shooting or atrocity), is an action by the state to control the people.

Chemtrails?

Weather weapons?

Islam, femenism, homosexuality?

They’re all out there, and they’re there as mechanisms for the state to control the people.

So say Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan, and Milo Yiannopoulos and Laura Loomer in varying degrees and with various different slants.
