Made a little slideshow.

Exciting to watch. Flying by boats on the river in the background.



What makes it resemble a helicopter has no motor spinning it. **

It is powered by the smaller rear propeller, which is what makes it unique

** A mechanism starts it spinning up to speed, but then disengages.

Just some tips that we can take to reduce the price of our bills, some well known but other not so. This is a case of every little helps, come the end of the year you will have saved money. I've done these and they do work

Light bulbs, OK we should all know about this one already, LED are the most efficient and cheapest to run.

Fridge/Freezers they are on all the time, modern units take considerably less power to run.

TV backlight, by turning down the backlight brightness on your TV you can half it's power consumption, I dropped my TV power consumption from 90 to 40 watts. ( only works with LED and some florescent TV's, look in your TV's menu for backlight brightness setting ).

Washing machines, some cheaper machines take considerably more power than others, when buying a new machine seriously look at its efficiency rating.

Boiling the kettle, kettles take a lot of power, only fill it to the level of water you need.

I have others but that will do for now.

Please feel free to add any more tips that you have found and put a tick in front of your tip.

I suppose this fits here as well as anywhere.

The bungalow has been fitted with a Hive Hub and one of these:

Later I might see how it works with Alexa, but I'm happy just to use it manually.

I wouldn't try this on my microwave but I know of one in your loft, Data. Want to play sometime?

A well thought out idea.

Formula E, the electric car racing series is attracting some big names and growing in popularity.

This season all the races will be live on the BBC and also shown on YouTube, the season starts on December 15 (2018) in the Saudi city of Ad Diriyah.

The battery technology has improved at such a rate that this will be the first season where the cars can run the entire race on a single charge (It just got serious).
