19.01.2023 Danish Greenshitting [Lite.]

 ~~

 Thursday 19th +2C/35F. Early rain promised and supplied in abundance. Up at 6.20 after an earlier false start or two. The house is cooling but the kitchen responded to the new heater. 13C/55F in the lounge. 15C/59F in the kitchen. Albeit at twice the expense for electricity. 

 The stove is lit but I just used the last stick of kindling. Hopefully I can get more on the way home. I have lots of scrap bits and pieces of wood in the greenhouse. Which will make do if needed. Thursday cooking class today.

 The post title refers to the bullshit surrounding local government erection of solar panels. More specifically the ridiculous rules foisted downwards by the "Light green tinted glasses" Danish government. 

 While the government may freely add solar cells to its buildings. Local government must set up an independent business to control every single solar cell. Even if it is only a solar cell on a lamp post.

 This week's environment minister [Lite] sees no need for change. Which sound's about right. I expect he's hoping for promotion to the sports minister post. In the next round of musical chairs on the perpetual gravy train. I'd link to the fiasco but the [supposed] newspapers [Aka. advertising bureaus] are hiding behind paywalls. Or in Danish: DR is the Danish equivalent of the BBC but less trivial.

 This story shows this week's Danish environment minister [Lite] admitting that no new wind turbines will be set up this year, nor the next, on Danish soil.

 14.00 +2C/36F Safely home from cooking class. Curry soup with chicken. Meatballs in a complex tomato sauce. Our hero was responsible for the latter. Two sacks of kindling went into the boot on the way home. 14C/57F in the lounge. 15C/59F in the kitchen. 15C/59F upstairs. Stove relit from scratch.

 23.00  Had a chat with my English friend on WhatsApp. No dinner required as I ate at the cooking class.
