Just looked at the weather station info:
Day length 17 hrs 47 mins
And still 3 weeks to go until the sun turns.
Makes such a change from the 6 hrs 30 mins in mid winter.

@nprofile1q... The same is true of the MG4. It's a real afterthought. The saving grace is that the car supports android auto, so getting it to use VLC is pretty straight forward. There's also a streaming player with android auto support called non-stop music that means we can weirdly listen to Cape Town's Fine Music Radio while driving around the north of Scotland.
We bought one of those little USB dongles off aliexpress so that the phone auto-connects to the car without having to plug in a cable

The ticks are just awful this year. No idea how this one got under my watch, but glad I got it out before it did too much itching.

I've been meaning to take a snap of the cuckoo flowers (I think they're called). A pleasant surprise was seeing the teeniest itsy bitsy spider on a petal when I looked at the snap on the screen

And that's why the deer still keep coming into your garden!

That moment when you're drinking from a tin and the ringpull reaches out to grab a beard hair in a vicelike grip, but doing so gently, so that you're not aware of it until you finish your slurp, and try to lower the tin, which apparently is done with such force it feels as though it's ripped half your face off.
That.
The ringpull then laughingly displayed the hair like a trophy, never relinquishing it's dastardly prize.
Meanwhile, I only have half a lip.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... We tried to follow all the advice that came from all kinds of directions when we first got our car, especially re battery health. Then, on the MG4 forum, someone said something like "Just follow the manufacturer's instructions. They know best." And it's true. A lot of advice is seriously outdated. Some is plain wrong. And most, the manufacturers don't even mention.
tl;dr - don't worry about it.

@nprofile1q... I'm sure that, with practice, you'll quickly gain the experience to tame these things.
Also nice work planning a charge near a Spur. We can never understand people sitting in their cars while they charge. Get out and do something, even if it's just wrapping yourself around a legendary stack of waffles.
