Mondays are generally a high demand day as people return to work and industry ramps up after the weekend. This year has probably been more pronounced as many people who have not been working because of holidays (last week was very good weather) and the drawing to an end of Furlough.

Was there today, up for lease.

Just had a look at the last ten years worth of electrical generation data. I picked Mondays during weeks 35,36 and 37 as these will always take in the Bank Holiday and the main start of school. I suspect you will be getting cheaper power next week. I can't be bothered to look up when school started each year, but others can.

That is probably because software engineers do not understand the problems involved. That is why they are software engineers and not energy traders or renewable energy experts. And if it is a government funded project, then it will never work.

I use Dulux Easycare on the St. Ives picture frames I make. It stays white.

Comes as a solid lump these days.

That may be contractoral obligation. Most of Europe is on a different timezone. Coal fired power stations were limited to 20,000 hours run time a few years back (2001 LCPD). So they are only working within agreed limits, not, as far as I know, breaching them. About this time every year scare stories go about that claim we don't have enough capacity. Since I started taking an interest in this over 2 decades ago, we have not 'run out'. Taking the Copernicus view, the best predictor of future usage is past usage patterns. It is not as if the National Grid does not know about future trends, or if they do, they are doing nothing about it.

And give the Taffs a shortcut to here, no thanks. Trouble with the Seven Barrage is the ecological cost. Don't bother me as I am 200m above sea level, but controlling a few billion tonnes of seawater would have unexpected consequences somewhere. Now tidal flow turbines are a much more interesting concept.

True in my experience. But some of us suffer from perpetual vertigo, which is not the same thing at all. Did not stop me rock climbing, but then you are looking for your next handhold/best route, and what is below is irrelevant.

No diesel came on yesterday, or OCGT.

Or a higher than expected demand by almost 10% compared to the year before. (I will concede that the last two years have been a bit odd)

And Last year

First day back at school after the holidays. Couple of charts.

Went to a cafe in Mousehole and there was a sign in the toilet. "The hands that clean this also make your food" I never went again and noticed it is closed down now.

Find somewhere else. Flats are toxic at the moment because of the fire risk. You will be having the same problems when you come to sell.

Gridwatch has generation data of all types.

If the clients inexperience costs a contractor time and money then that should be priced in. That is normal in all business.

It is a while since Shellhaven burnt down, twice.

All that fresh air blown in from Greys, glad I lived up wind of it in Basildon.

I’ve got a sore bit in my groin ; can you take a look please ? I was a gynaecologist, until I got caught. (I have been a 1st aider, qualified as well. Really enjoyed the courses and have been told, by the main dermatologist at the hospital, that my treatment of burns is tip top, better than their casualty.)

Welcome. Back in the 1990s, a girlfriend dragged me off to see Jo Brand at Dartford. The opening line of her show was. "I looked up some information about Dartford, found it was twinned with Bernard Manning's arsehole". From that I assumed she had never been to Erith, or Gravesend.

Nor me, but must have seen something odd about it to remember.

I have taught enough overseas students to pick up the odd thing that is different.

There are 10 types of people that understand binary
