Venus, Mars and Jupiter visible. Orion very clear. Enjoyable half hour stargazing.

I’ve charged up nicely thank you. A welcome few hours by the sea in the sun, with a fish and chips lunch too. ☀️ 🌊 Happy Birthday to me. 😊

“Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.” This is not for me.

I’m puzzled too. Since when did increases in taxation affect inflation? Is the opposite true?

Horrific 😮 Thank goodness it’s just a wrap.

Paying a visit to Clifford’s Tower in a few weeks. Interested to see it with rooms and a roof. Views of York should be pretty good.

I still can’t believe I bought such a bad IONIQ5. Poor design features, unreliability, parts unavailability, zero dealer and manufacturer support led me to sell at a huge loss after just 11 months.

I care. I detest liars. They lied their way into power.

Just added some more. Thanks.

Wait until you are 60. Your battery starts to run down yet time starts to accelerate.

Visiting York in a few weeks. Decided to travel by train, let’s see how that goes. Seems York Council are working towards banning cars in the city.

This series of #potterythrowdown is really enjoyable. I wonder what hugely US dominated @bluesky would make of it? They don’t know what they are missing.

Also Hornbeam Bonsai. My favourite.

I just can’t see any benefit to myself in this change. Maybe busy young people who get many emails a day find it better? I’ve just gone to list view. I had android work phones & always preferred Apple. May be revisiting that opinion. Hi by the way, you seem to have dropped off my timeline recently.

It’s awful. First photos messed up, now e-mail. Why change for changes sake?

Only the wealthy have money they can afford to lose. Not exactly for the masses. Such a pity, I’m a huge Octopus fan.

Only had 3p for the first 6 months of generation. Someone is making money, Ripple, the operators, builders, energy companies. Doesn’t leave much for the investors. Rooftop solar is best if you can have it.

Not free energy. You get a return on your generation. Currently 6p kWh generated. Good for your carbon footprint, not so good for your bank balance. Very long term investment. May break even in 20 years.

I so want to stay on here, some great people but very limited interactions. Keep drifting back to TwiX.

Stop it! I so regret investing in “community” wind instead of my own roof. 😠

My IONIQ 5 used to do this regularly when the temperature was below zero. 🙄
comment in response to post
There would surely be insurance against that. I’ve invested in Ripple and am very disappointed. This seems potentially worse.

What might occur that you could lose all the investment?

It’s really special when visitors connect with a property. Biddulph Grange with its hospital history does this really well. You could just tell this had sparked a lovely childhood memory for her.
