"Operation Economic Fury" is apparently happening now. Sanctions against the entire middle east. 20% of the world's oil is stranded and the USA is stuck in a mire and escalating.

This weekend, the Trump administration walked out of talks with Iran without progress and threatened to double-blockade the Hormuz.

Sounds like the negations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz have gone even worse than you'd have expected.

The number of countries blocking the strait has doubled, as America joins in blocking passage to even more vessels.

At this rate, with the number o more...

Gary's back after making his documentary for Channel four and he's frustrated and face-palming at the utter political ineptitude of the UK Labour Party that mean a collapse of 200 years of political bipartisan ship.

But we do get the configuration it'd mostly be in during a camp. Single bed out, sink and fridge available, batteries under the bed.

Note the infinity mirror in front of the mini-fridge. Pretty.

And if the bed feels too cramped, the fridge and sink can go under the other side.

Nice. It' more...

Added carpet tiles to the front two thirds around the trap door. These crates are great. Stackable and collapseable and fit in the gap between the front seats and in the spaces under the folded-out beds and have a wooden table surface on top.

Took the floor trap door back to the flat last night and added the ring-pull and carpeted it.

Cleaned up and badly caulked the joins in the back third in the hope of keeping the wallpaper from peeling.

With the back third done, I could install the newly rejuvenated boot kit.

That gives more...

Yep, as expected, out of wallpaper before even attempted the doors at all. Gonna be next weekend before I can do much more really.

It is.... Not great. Wallpapering curved surfaces is tricky and I have no idea what I'm doing.

The van's metalwork is exposed in the back and it is far from actually cosy in there so the job today has been to cover the entire insides in a foam insulation.

Great show @stuartgoldsmith.bsky.social , thanks. You realize of course that the reason nobody in an Islington venue has a EV is coz hardly anyone has a car at all 😆
