I stopped in at the Indian grocer and got a handful of little white aubergines and two handfuls of ladies' fingers.

We're the ladies upset or happy when you grabbed their hands?

I leave that to your imagination...

An Allpowers 600W 299Wh Portable Power Station & 100W Foldable Solar Panel from ebay.

I had it on my watchlist when they sent a 30% off offer to me that brought the combo down from £399 to £280 which meant it was the equivelant of getting the solar panel for free and a tenner off the powerbank.

Have you got a specific task for it or just general back-up?

I Will do. Tis the next step on my learning journey, started with sourdough bread a few years ago, then butter making, moved onto curing my own bacon which then led onto sausage making, so the natural progression is 'fermented' sausages. Hopefully get this mastered and then it will be onto cheese/yoghurt making.

Not so much bushcrafty I know, more self sufficiency but it does mean I know exactly what is going in to my 'home' made produce.

Me too.

I would love to cook more but my fathers kitchen is too chaotic.

And there is no stove these days, only a whole load of gadgets I do not know how to use.

Today I received my order of Ecover stuff for the new place. On private drainage (albeit we replaced the very old septic tank with a top-notch packet sewage plant during the renovations) so choice of products for washing and cleaning needs care.

I grew up with a septic tank so the idea of being very selective what I put down the sink/bath/toilet/washing machine waste is very familiar. But much less so my other half, so I have equipped the house with septic-tank safe products so he gets a "soft landing."

(Nothing like private drainage to focus the mind on the impact of washing and cleaning products..... and on what goes into the waste system).

Bit of everything, take it camping for phones, tablets, lights, use it to power my work laptop when I'm out and about etc.
On thing i'll definitely use it for is powering my camping fridge when I'm driving to the camp site.
