...of rather more regular blogging.
Had the MRI of my left hip yesterday afternoon, and therefore missed the Coronation flypast over Chelmsford. I hear that the low cloud meant there wasn't that much to see anyway.
Played boules at Ongar this morning and met a couple of new players who've appeared since the autumn. Played two matches, won both comfortably. It was Market Day in the usual car park so had to use the other car park across the High Street:
Some new arrivals - four electric chargers at the expense of four "normal" parking spaces. And, as with most of these things around here, none of them in use. I know it's a case of which is the horse and which is the cart - do we need more chargers to encourage more electric cars, or does demand from electric cars lead installation of more chargers? - but it seems to me that a lot of them are going in the wrong places. It's the motorways and the major trunk roads where "range anxiety" really kicks in and people don't want to be queuing to get to a charger as well as the time taken to charge up. If you want to encourage electric car numbers (and I'm far from sure that battery electrics offer a real long-term solution), those are the places where I'd put them.
