#today I submitted revisions to my #paper, a day ahead of deadline...
I have an ash-scattering and ticket-handover this afternoon and evening...

Yesterday had some unplanned #nightclubbing which meant #TaiChi with minimal breakfast and a slight hangover #today ... Just ordered some bits for my off-grid tinkering. Not doing much else...

#today I *may* have just finished revisions to my paper, though I need to do another read-through and wait for supervisor feedback... And temperature is 'only' 26C at my desk!

#today I did some Tai Chi and I am back on my #paper, though with some excellent procrastination...
Temperature peaking at ~27C today.

#today I am going into uni for supervision (and, I hope, comments on my paper revisions). I didn't get to start the energy system #schematic yesterday, but decided *how* to do it (with an eye to supporting a second use of it), and have started it this morning... The forecast is for 33C today, …

#today I will be recovering from a good clubbing session and maybe catching up on various bits of admin. I was due to go out again today but that friend is not well, so I will get more rest!

#today I have more revisions to do! The journal responded same day yesterday with the second round of review for my #paper, which is unexpectedly fast! Reviewer 3 still wants major changes, and I am away at a festival for a few days very soon, so that is hard to manage! Eeek!
@…
(We may have had a tiny bit of rain last night.)

#today I should be working on various things, and catching up on the #NewScientist article splurge...

#today was a Repair Café and a couple of FINAL_FINAL_v2_REALLY_FINAL tweaks to the journal #paper and I am now in the pub...

#today I did just half an hour of Tai Chi (but I also get the 2 miles walking there and back). I have worked quite productively (I hope) on my #research #paper revisions/corrections. Graphs looking smart…

#today visited the ARC@KU #retrogaming

#today (and tomorrow) I shall be back on corrections for my #research #paper and not much else I think. I have a large jug of

#today is uni including Journal Club (we're looking at poster creation) and later the inventors' club.
There will be paper and stickers too, I'm sure!

#today is the start of #festival week, so a ~300 mile train(s) journey to Cumbria starting soon, with a friend for most of it. I believe I have everything packed, well probably a bit too much. And as a sop to my inner sysadmin, yes I do have an

#today I am doing a two-step upgrade to #macOS27 Golden Gate right now...
I also ought to work on my energy-saving project, and organising Journal Club and Kingston Invents for tomorrow: a bit neglected while my head was down on proofing...

#today will be a bath, some admin, organising 3 separate meetings for next week, reading a paper, measuring mains water temperature, and preparing for Repair Café tomorrow. And the flood of #NewScientist articles needs reading. I am exhausted just listing that stuff and want to go back to bed already. Plus it was a #BigNightOut (someone's 30th) last night and I don't think that I slept much after I got back in the early hours!

#today have done some work on the #paper revisions (purely editorial for now), and I am now going to finish packing for tomorrow...

#today I have caught up on some #research reading that has been glaring at me from open tabs for a week or so, and there were some nuggets there. I have some admin chores and a meeting to chair this evening. Not much else.

#today going into uni, scrabbling to finish #paper review changes in time!

#today I start two days of heavy grind through requested major revisions of my #paper - this is going to hurt!
#research

#today is forecast for a mere 34°C; I am running laundry (cold wash) now and have scheduled dishwasher (ECO) around PV generation and #SSES morning grid peak, and my laptop remains off-grid, though not the extra monitor I am using to help with my journal #paper reviews (I am on review 3, which is 'major' revisions, so the toughest).

#today more #paper #proof stuff! Argh!

#today is uni, and possibly a friend's birthday party this evening...

#today is last full day at #GreenMan2026 #GreenMan ... Nights and mornings are COLD!

#today I have fitted an extra circuit-breaker to an experimental doohickey that I have going, I have checked some documents for friends, and I am about to do some admin including for a meeting next week. All wrapped around a nice warm relaxing bath*.
*Except for some HUGE knots in my hair!

#today I have done supervision and will potter on with some #research, and also prepare to release one moderately physical product idea developed into the public domain with the help of my supervisors. Now off to lunch. My son is on campus this week for work experience, so I may bump into him...

#today at #GreenMan #GreenMan2026 day 2 and queues are moderating so we may get on site this year. Not many people provably dead, even in the flash flooding which kept flashing back to steam on the…

#today did a little #research (drew the new building archetype outline), watered plants, put bins out (very early), and did a bit of tech fiddling...

#today on way to #GreenMan #GreenMan2026 with a bunch of friends.

#today I am *slowly* getting some admin done and doing some tinkering. My order with 12 Volt Planet was dealt with this morning, hurrah!
(I have also run the dishwasher and have laundry out on the line, and I think I shall go for a quick walk...)

#today I have just caught up on the #NewScientist article backlog, I am fiddling around with some logging detail for my microinverter proof-of-concept, and will probably go round to a friend's for the afternoon...

#today I have now merged my #paper's Introduction and Methods sections (and the bibliography that I did first), so maybe half-way done? On to Results. Really hoping that I haven't missed out anything vital!

#today is meant to be open 'eco' home day, but with non-responses and a cancellation I may be down to just one or two visitors. I'd hate to think that a few days of cooler weather have made people forget global warming entirely...
I am taking the opportunity to work on my #paper #proofs, and it is going faster and better than yesterday at this point!

#today will do a little admin having tidied up my short-term to-list. At a friend's suggestion yesterday I bought some "Dried Beancurd (Spicy Hot Flavour)" https://hiyou.co/products/shii-fure-dried-tow-fu-piquant-flavour-vegetarian-100g from a newish Korean shop in town. Ymmmm!

#today I ought to do various bits of admin today. Probably won't go for my 'flu jab because I think that I've probably had COVID or similar for last ~3 days and no need to spread it further if so - but if no more symptoms today then I shall go tomorrow. Will still do my old COVID walk round the cemetery though!

#today I have had a nice bath, just got a 'flu jab, on my first cup of coffee, and now aiming to complete a £50k grant application today without saying the words "spend it all down 'Spoons on 99p pints"...

#today I had (unplanned) lunch with a friend, outside at a greasy spoon in Kingston, and bought some Korean snacks the first of which I have already tested for SCIENCE...
Nothing else planned.

#today a bunch of admin stuff to do, a few bits already done, some probably too big to do more than reject or plan today!

#today I hope to attend some of this https://lancaster-university.github.io/loco2026/programme/ and do some of my proposal write-up, and maybe go for lunch with my friend who has just submitted their MSc thesis...

#today meeting with cllr done, I am booked into an EDM festival in May, received an actual free lunch unexpectedly, now on my way to see @… by electric bus, and will listen for bats later...

#today I will be in at uni, and *possibly* afterwards going to see a short film by a friend...

#today I will (soon) be submitting the grant application (with one suggested tweak), then have some other admin to try to get through.

#today I have done some admin chores (eg preparing for tomorrow's supervision at uni), and I am starting to gather some material to present over the next few days.
It rained overnight here, and is still steadily raining, which is a good thing. This is testing some of the anticipatory changes I made in my energy systems since way back in March/April!

#today in at uni, possibly starting a big new side-project with real impact potential, but also working on my main #research, and going for beers afterwards (possibly at 99p each).
Raining here now, which is good, though slightly inconvenient for the travel, obvs.

#today my family is on its way back from France, so a tiny bit more tidying up and so on before they get back this evening.
Also, the journal has asked for another round of revisions on my #paper, though not too horrible at first glance. I may not get to think about it much today, and am in at uni tomorrow...

#today proof-read a friend's MSc dissertation which took a few hours, have taken a walk in pleasant sunshine, and now have a glass of wine!

#today I will likely go to the Energy Group meeting this morning, then do a bit more admin, and should get back to my model/research.
Will probably postpone my flu jab to Thursday because I need to be fully with it for uni on Wednesday...

#today I submitted my round-3 #paper revisions. I am uncomfortable because I could not keep to the original intended scope and meet reviewer 3's remaining concerns. A rejection is possible.

#today although I am waiting on a response from the editorial office on my "I don't think I can do these contradictory things that you have asked of me" email, I shall plod on with trying to deal with some of the milder requests...
I may watch the IgNobels this evening with a friend...

#today is #RepairCafé!

#today I will be in at uni and working on revisions.

#today will include EOM data processing, slipping out to the pub to collect some free baked goods (and maybe a pint will be involved), and work on my research building model. And probably a bath and timing laundry and dishwasher loads...

#today is a #BankHoliday but I am doing some mild chores and have an online meeting later...

#today has already started, with some frantic document writing for my supervisor to present today at a meeting!

#today I'm not doing much at all. (I had a bath and did some washing up and watered some plants in pots, and tested the tomatoes for safety, thoroughly.)
Tomorrow is a #bankHoliday here but I suspect the journal does not know and I will be asked to do more work on my #paper then!

#today is reading a couple of (UK gov) research reports, and a video call about TTK's #WildWays project.

#today I am overdue on my #paper resubmission but mainly only needing a final read-through and confirmation that my submission format is correct this time. #IThinkICan

#today I have done some admin and may do some research (but don't hold your breath - I dodged it yesterday).
Tomorrow I will be in the scrum to try to buy #GreenMan #GreenMan2027 tickets!

#today have not yet gotten back into my main research topic. Will get some admin done that I have put off for a couple of days.

#today on way home... Hoping for a hot bath and horizontal bed... Who knew that a 10-pack of Madri was between me and rolling down the hill asleep.

#today in uni, and will try to steer back on to my primary topic/paper!

#today I've just stumbled into a bit of #recreationalCoding that looks fun, then hope to meet a friend at my old local (pub) later...

#today I am in at uni, for #JournalClub, but also trying to make sense of the next round of revisions required of my journal paper in the system!

#today is already stuck in a queue for #GreenMan #GreenMan2027 tickets, which may take an hour or so.
So much better if this were with pint in hand and some #EDM in the background...
