My new heat mat is a real success! It is designed for reptiles, but the one I bought will fit perfectly under two full size seed trays. It gets wonderfully warm, just right for germinating chillis. I've put a piece of cardboard under it to protect the table, and will experiment with coverings for the top when I need to vary the amount of heat coming through.
Under the bear hat is some kombucha scoby, which needs warm dark conditions to develop successfully. I knew it was only a matter of time before it was discovered in the airing cupboard, especially as it was beginning to smell gorgeously yeasty in there, just like freshly baked bread. I think it will do much better protected by a bear anyway.
Kombucha is a health drink that is very good for the immune system, and for detoxing the body. Here is a really good guide to making your own:
