Thanks @dave, yes indeed - pretty unique GlowWorm adventures out of Charleston on the West Coast. Drop us a line :)

And yes, have been quite absent of late! Still lurking every now and then but spare time is a distant memory lol

Love Earth Sea Sky. Best raincoats on the planet. rest of the range is pretty nice too

Roads from the same concert is just heart rendingly good

Portishead do this so well

Oh no, won’t someone think of all those critical Temu shipments! Anyway…

(Seriously, there must be a lot of irreplaceable stuff that goes through the post - this is actually a fairly big deal and I’m sure there will be people quite badly affected. Horrible to think about actually)

I volunteer with LandSAR and one of the things they drill into us is risk vs consequence. Yes, the risk of something may be low, but if the consequences are high then you should seriously consider another option… At least in theory 😂

What a wall of sound. I’ve never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Scary, yes. But it’s funny really in some regards, when you think about our tolerance to risk - I live practically on top of the Alpine Fault yet barely give it a second thought. And we’re up in Auckland for the weekend - I was surprised to discover that Rangitoto Island is only 600 years old - 2M+ people living ‘on’ a barely dormant volcano is kinda terrifying.

I’m sure there’s a name for the formal Fallacy that applies here - Acceptable Risk maybe?

Yes, I’d considered that too. Alas, not the case

Thanks. I’ll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you’ve suggest too. But at this point it’s looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

I’ve tried. We’re rural and tradies just don’t want to know.

Yes, there’s another pump back in the main line from the boiler.

With the bypass valve closed, the hot water doesn’t seem to circulate at all - either down the bypass or through the loops.

And, the thermostat on the circulating pump there switches it off below whatever temp you set. Once switched off, then the top rail starts to heat (implying that got water is now going into the loops). So strange , I just can’t get my head around how it’s ‘supposed’ to work, let alone if it’s actually working properly.

I sang semi-professionally for quite a few years. Used to use in-ear monitors and they do a similar thing - you do get used to it pretty quickly, or at least it becomes less annoying!

Just North of Punakaiki, West Coast, SI.

A bit cloudy here but still stunning

Well my comment aged well 😂 Had a sensational display here. Awe inspiring

Sounds like this morning’s display was pretty decent, but expected to subside by tonight :(

Ooh, hadn’t heard of the Night Manager. Looks good, Cheers!

Sounds like we have similar taste! Funnily enough, I couldn’t get into Shogun though.

Oh man, such a good series.
