@evmusings.bsky.social I just listened to the podcast about going back to ICE. I’ve been borrowing my wife’s petrol car as I had a few long trips for work (Cairngorms from Wetherby) and it’s cemented the feeling that we really need a second EV but with longer range. Looking for a PFL 62kWh MG5

A shot I took this morning of the Isle of Arran. Taken on my OM Systems Tough TG7 camera I bought for the day job after I struggled to retrieve my iPhone from a hole in the ground after dropping it.

Spotify getting political putting 1984 and Musk next to each other in my suggestions?! 🤣 It’s not organic selections because I listened to 1984 only a few months ago so it shouldn’t show up again for a while I’d have thought.

I can’t stop thinking about mk5 Golf SDis… genuinely think I’d buy one if one came up nearby even though they’re not automatic and I really should be buying another EV

I was just listening to @profbriancox.bsky.social on Infinite Monkey Cage, did he get Whitby and Wetherby mixed up? As a resident of Wetherby for ten years I was very surprised to hear the prof say we had the deepest mine in the UK 🤣

Honestly no idea what it is but it seemed pretty.

Red Kite over Thorp Arch. Don’t pixel peep though as it’s a heavy crop. Taken with a CX format lens and an 18.5mm lens!

I don’t get a chance much to head into town (Leeds) but I had a few minutes spare before an appointment on the Headrow. Both taken with a LUMIX TX40 in the scenes setting and played about with slightly. I’m looking to carry a mix of older small cameras around with me for stuff like this.

Camera reviewers, how small are your hands?! This Nikon J5 just landed (courtesy of mbp) and it’s waaay smaller than I was expecting. Here it is next to my workhorse! It genuinely feels like a toy.

They’re filming a Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson film in town at the minute. I believe it’s a Christmas special called Tinsel Town for Sky.

Because I’m busy but not tearing my hair out busy, I cracked out a few old cameras to play with this weekend. So far this LUMIX TZ40 my wife bought donkeys years ago is my favourite. Not sure I’d trust it commercially but for fodder for instagram it’s great.

Anyone else getting loads of adverts for crew cab pick up trucks at the minute? I’m guessing it’s because they need to shift them all before April hits and they become ‘cars’ in terms of tax rules. Either that or one of my devices knows better than I do.

Taking some ‘me’ time ( with @pip510.bsky.social ) today to walk the Humber Bridge. Have you ever crossed the Humber Bridge?

Finally hit the swap to @octopus.energy & almost immediately get a call from our current provider offering an EV Tariff & 15p/kWh export that we’re aiming for with Octopus… maybe if they’d made an effort beyond keeping us on standard variable despite knowing we had EV and solar we might have stuck

I don’t like DIY, I especially don’t like plumbing DIY

There’s a golf SDI on auto trader, I honestly loved the SDI. You were never going to accelerate quickly but it felt like you could tow a lorry with it. Genuinely love me a non-turbo diesel

Well that’s new, they’re projecting out beyond 2040 now! Always had to be very careful with giving flood risks

@sniffpetrol.com please excuse the quality of the photo as I was trying to be sneaky. There are a few VWs around Wetherby with lit up VW logos, is there a batch of incorrectly coded ones, have the rules relaxed or are the people who live around me good at VW coding?

Well metas advertising algorithm is a little off this morning. #coutts #meta

@bsky.app now that ‘they’ seem to be buggering around with instagram and everyone is going off Meta products, can we have an alternative from you guys?

I’m not the strongest but I’ve been doing squats a lot more lately. I’ve got limited movement in my left ankle due to an old injury so my form isn’t great.
