I switched to O2 to get free European roaming. But the service in the UK is so terrible, I can’t want to switch away.

Good Morning from Skiathos.

🚨Just 2% of the population - under 800,000 people sustained the whole of England's blood supply over the past 12 months The NHS has put out an urgent call for 200,000 donors to come forward Book an appointment or register today ❤️🙏👇 blood.co.uk

My feed is full of the disappointing news from the USA. I am sympathetic to those affected. But what’s annoying is that Americans *voted* for all this. The problem is not one dysfunctional politician, but a profound sickness in the soul of the country. I can’t see that going away.

Sunset in Skiathos - over our pool. Rayleigh scattering is ace.

Retirement. Year one. Vacation #3 #greece #skiathos

These two just popped up on the path a few metres ahead of us.

Sheffield is getting rid of its GreenParking permit (free parking for electric cars). - so bought me an e-bike for trips to my studio.

Last night’s pizza took a bit of char. Not bad tho.

This is my first year with solar panels, battery and heat pump. So still watching the numbers like a nerd. Today was the first day when the energy returned to the grid was worth more than what I bought. So my bill was -17p!

Possibly the best pizza I have made yet. Dough crisper. Sauce not over reduced. 🧑‍🍳😘

Watched the first three episodes of #Andor with my son. That was quite the satisfying ending to the first act.

Sheffield people will understand.

Watched Conclave (because it is a bit topical). - what a great movie! Wonderful writing, performances and cinematography. Sound good too - uses silence like a weapon.

DO. NOT. VISIT. THE UNITED STATES. Under ANY circumstances. Do not blithely presume you will be the exception. Our teams of gleefully malevolent stormtroopers WILL traumatize you for the sheer fun of it.

I accept this suggestion will have little traction but just imagine if we organised a lockdown level don’t show when the old Mango Mussolini visits London. His ridiculous vehicle entourage drive through totally deserted streets. Literally no one to see or boo or shout. Total silence.

Today’s walk. Alport Castles. ( not a real castle, but a tower created by a prehistoric land slip).

The Pitt is so addictive. It’s hard to stop watching.

@octopus.energy Hi. The usage tab in my Octopus app seems to have stopped updating. The last full day was Thursday. (Tried all the usual remedies).

Every Friday I make pizza. Making small tweaks to improve. Might be the best one yet.

We visited Haddon Hall.

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

Spotted this handsome fellow. He had hopped into a field with his family just on the edge of Sheffield.

If you live in the UK, and have an electric vehicle, today is a good day to renew the vehicle tax for a year. It will be free. From tomorrow it will cost you. (Does not matter if it’s not due).
