Seasonal cheer















Yesterday was a stunningly beautiful morning for a loch side run, but today was too slippery. 
Talking of which,  being in agreement with anything this UK government does is a very disorientating experience, but life is full of surprises. Until recently they (ie the UK tax payer) have been subsidising the installation of expensive photovoltaic panels to the extent that installers would effectively receive a 10% return on their capital investment, regardless of whether they use their volts efficiently, or whether they use the subsidy to fund their gas-guzzling 4x4. Last week the subsidy was cut by half, amid howls of outrage from much of the green community and, more crucially, from the prosperous carpet baggers who thought they had found a way to get a load of cash and some eco brownie-points at the same time. Which just goes to show that, if you wait long enough, even Conservatives will eventually stumble onto a good outcome.
