Electric Cork!

Apologies for the lack of updates for the last while, as most people who read this know my brother passed away recently after a long battle with cancer as a result I've been in Ireland for that last couple of months not posting.  So this is just a quick post to say that normal services will be resumed in the near future, I'm heading back to Reunion in June where Aurelie and the kids have been enjoying life in my absence (more on that in a future post).
 
Anyway while in Cork I came across this for the first time:

CCC van getting recharged
 
Its an electrically powered Cork City Council van getting recharged from a roadside power station.  Go Cork City Council, welcome to the 21st century!  It's things like this that make me realise more and more that the future of my childhood is now (but with less spaceflight, though it's coming).
