 ​My aTLI EON Camera has suddenly stopped connecting to the WiFi on the phone - or anything. Therefore it can't be controlled. Shame its a great camera for timelapse and it will probably cost more to repair than to replace it.

All Electric


 With the new electric induction cooker installed, the household is now all electric. With 26 solar panels, 48KW of batteries, and Air Source Heating, we have done as much as we can to make the home as eco-friendly as we can for the time being.

Snow driving


Late-night snow gives some opportunities to get out and practice some snow driving, and this can be fun on Hemel Hemptead's hills. This morning, the rain is turning the snow to slush, making some of the roads worse.

First Aid Course

My son and I taking part in an RYA First Aid Course at the Upper Thames Sailing Club, requalifying our first aid for another three years, looking at CPR, using an AED machine and perfecting our bandaging skills in case we need these skills when out in a safety boat.

Smoke Alarm


 Our smoke alarms have reached the 10-year mark—time to replace them! Regular testing is crucial, but alarms should be replaced every decade for safety. Remember to test yours weekly and replace as needed. #FireSafety #SmokeAlarms
