Hello everyone and firstly apologies for the long silence. I’m writing from the beautiful Atlantic coast of Portugal, where my young family is in the process of relocating in search of a sunnier outdoors-oriented lifestyle.

The move is (of course) proving more complicated than anticipated. My hopes of getting back to regular writing by the end of August proved hopelessly optimistic. Downsizing from a four-bed house to a car with a roof box is, to put it mildly, a bit of a squeeze.

Billing will remain paused for the foreseeable future while we get to grips with the new school run, accommodation, local bureaucracy and — most exciting of all — new remote office facility near the beach.

I won’t put a timeline on all this to avoid being held hostage to fortune, but I will endeavour to publish occasionally when circumstances allow to keep my fingertips alive.

There are some big changes coming to Energy Flux. I’ll send more details in a future post, but for now rest assured that you won’t be charged for renewals and existing subscriptions will not expire. The full archive remains accessible to premium members at www.EnergyFlux.news.

Até breve,

Seb
