Batteries came from here

Used them a few times order that amount they seem to come next day even with the cheapest postage option guessing the weight means it's cheaper to use the couriers over royal mail

Well operation stock up for winter has begun

On top of the jump pack and 50 ea AA and AAA

2xd cell batteries have gone up 50p per pack grabbed a pack today I use them for a few things so always keep a stock in

Another litre of lamp oil,

Found some little power banks in home bargains for 99p only good for micro usb or lightning but still 99p rechargeable too the little usb to micro is worth the price...



Got some fly strips for the kitchen door

Some more car shampoo it was covered in tree sap/ honeydew so got a good hot pressure wash a good soap and a scrub

We have weather moving in it appears. So today,adaptability! I have jobs to do in the workshop. The first is most important- sort of prepping,as it is towards my health care - sorting fishing kit for tomorrow! I shall make the most of my favourite sport whilst possible. Fixing up a tackle trolley for my ten minute walk to the river. I do like a project. As I am not allowed to drive now,nor recommended to ride a bike,this will do the job. And all made for nowt!
After that I have to service my chainsaws. It sounds intense,but it is a simple task,but most important. At this point,when logs/ firewood come in,they are whacked and stacked immediately. Up until falling unwell,I reckon I had the best part of a full Winters worth of firewood unprocessed. That won’t happen now,although the lads are tending towards sorting it for me. And there’s a valuable lesson. Friends. Worth more than any money.Good lads all of them.
Whilst out shopping yesterday,I picked up replacement consumables for bench work. I’ll get that put into relevant containers today too.I can’t be doing with a job being needed to be done and nothing to do it with! One particular purchase was a simple one : 13 amp fuses. I was on my last one. Enough there now to last forever - and I mean forever.
More tea now,and sort a grocery delivery for mid week. Grocery shopping is not what we physically do when Mrs J is at work.

Do you guys actually USE that quantity of AA cells? Cripes.

Anyone heavily into solar or domestic wind, check out residential vanadium flow batteries. Safer than lithium, 15,000 cycle, 25 year life, can fully discharge. Upfront costs a bit but over 25 years is cheap. I think these are quite new (though they were invented decades ago), they are being developed for national grids, and are starting to rival pumped hydro for storage, but a few companies are now making domestic models. Further info on the climate thread.

Yeah! I have batteries ( disposable) with use by 2030. So lots of time for using stock. And better to have them now than when the lights go out and all the sheep run for them! Storage,storage,storage!

Changed a battery in a clock this morning,and those in my laser spirit level needed it too. So does my digital fishing weight scale .Every longest day and shortest day all the smoke and monoxide alarms are changed regardless. Our approach lighting is a big plus too. In fact at night on our landing and bathroom we rely on our battery lighting. It’s very efficient,always there( especially in emergency) and is plenty bright enough. The mains lighting is too harsh during a trip to the loo !
