#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 given that there is negatively-priced electricity available (though not to us on our #tariff), so lots and lots of renewables, I am running #maintenance (hot)

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

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

#today is a grand library tour with the new Repair Café at Tudor Drive in the morning, returning some stuff to the main library, and now on my way to chair KEF at Tolworth library, and meet the people who run the library services as it happens!

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

#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 will involve a bath, the #NewScientist article flood, some #research work (I think I may have settled on a change of building archetype in a set of 4), and prep for tomorrow's new taster …

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

#today I should do more admin and #research but also I'm going to prep some ideas for adding a little bit of #plugInSolar now that our

On my way into uni #today, though hotter than I'd usually like to be travelling (~30C), so I am exposing my manly tank top to the train a/c to try to be less damp upon arrival... A friend is taking his viva today, so there may possibly be a beer afterwards...

#today is the TTK Energy Group meeting, which gets me out of the house and walking, then I aim to get back on #research ...
It will be hot again today (>30C) as the last couple of days and the next week or so.

#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 I have done some admin chores, noticed that my journal paper has had one reviewer respond so far, and would really like to get back to my #research #3D building

#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 trying to find a way through some trying insurance stuff for our putative new #RepairCafé and then will be probably back on some #research stuff - 3D building outlines in

#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 caught up on some admin around one project in advance of a Zoom call for it, had the next stage of a slow-mo fight with insurers for a proposed new #RepairCafé, and two of us had to wrestle with the cable TV company cancellations folk for an hour to avoid home phone cut off AND price …

#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 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 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 will be mainly spent avoiding the heat again (34C forecast), with not much 'work' planned. I will attempt to keep on top of the #NewScientist article flood, if it arrives (only 5 unread tabs at the moment).

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

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

#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 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 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 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 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 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 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...

"Grid flex rhymes with derivatives trading: an observation"
#Research #paper published #today:
#openScience #openData

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

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

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

#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 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 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.
