Been with @OctopusEnergy for 4 years. Moved house & installed PV & HP. Cannot get signal for Smart Meter (in Scotland). Neighbours have GSM meters but 🐙 claim they can't install one (BBC news says they are doing), costing an extra £10 a day to run the house. @g__j can you help?
This weekend was mainly about tiring this (loveable) numpty out. Dog sitting is fun but happy to hand him back. Saw some cool stuff though! instagr.am/p/Cq5x4y3oEKN/
Today's random wanderings involved a tour of a castle that is mid-renovation & making a new friend. instagr.am/p/Cpa39w-oGr-/
Last night's adventure was taking Explorer Scouts into the dark. instagr.am/p/CpUz19cowdv/
Despite being taken on my phone they are still a bit better than the naked eye could see but I'm still quite thrilled to have seen a smudge of the Northern Lights at last! instagr.am/p/CpJPDuaIgme/
A wander around Loch Leven with @cattyler16 this afternoon (she took the picture too). instagr.am/p/CnuvXmWIn52/
Last weekend's adventures with friends (indeed, one of them may have taken this picture!) instagr.am/p/CmhEGB_Ivlv/
3 times in a week I've tried to get the @mcgillseast 26 in West Lothian. 3 times they've been over 30 mins late. Been great fun in -9° temps. I've missed trains & work meetings as a result. No chance of getting cars off the road with that "service"
A lovely afternoon at @KelvingroveArt wandering around listening to @dcb_band. So glad they're back.
So this is how I spent my, Sunday supporting the amazing section leaders.
Thanks @astro_timpeake, the Queen Scouts on the rear rank loved meeting you and made their day.
Wonderful to support the @scouts today on such a special occasion at Windsor Castle. Congratulations to all those receiving their #QueenScoutAward and Gallantry Awards - such a huge achievement 👏👏🏅

Some Scout events can seem like living breathing things. It's starting to feel like this one is stirring and I'm very happy about that.
ALT Suitcases with a Scout woggle with the word "Windsor" on top of them.
Thanks to @DollyParton (and all the incredible scientists & medical staff) that's me #BoostedByTheBells
Took a while because of "The Thing" but nice be there for this #SOWA presentation. Congratulations to @ScoutsScotland's Kirsten for an absolutely fantastic project.
Fun also to rep @QSWP_UK and then run a Cubs campfire with @gusgillies92. I even wore my campfire mask!
Tonight's entertainment. Now the interval and the first half went in a flash. instagr.am/p/CWJimxcIzax/
Tonight's entertainment. Looking forward to it!
Tonight’s show is in #Edinburgh 🏴 at the beautiful @theusherhall. It’s filling up fast, going to be a great night 🚀#MyJourneyToSpace
Today's adventure. Talked much rubbish and stretched the legs. Both needed. instagr.am/p/CUP6EdrIDdO/
My friend @jnthncampbell does awesome drawing things of nature. Take a peek at his upcoming project on @Kickstarter if you love; nature or card games or card games involving nature! kickstarter.com/projects/jnt…
