Well, in perhaps the most unexpected thing to happen today, I have placed a reservation for an @aptera_motors SEV! Apparently, even in sunny Durham I'll only need 2 full charges a year.

2WD, 25kWh, but full solar. May hold off getting the boot-tent camping kit...🤪

Thoughts?

I'm playing Genshin Impact, and I earned the Grand Master's recognition in the trial! Come give it a try!

Yeah, this is just a silly gaming thing, sorry... :D

In breaking news, to meet net zero targets the Star of Bethlehem has been replaced by a Tesla headlamp.

In a unrelated story, three travellers from 'The East' have been reported missing after their camels were last seen stumbling around wearing sunglasses at night...

REFERRAL CODE UPDATE...!

After 3 years of using my old code, Aptera have just announced a change to the referral link.

Use this instead - the deal is the same: 30% off the reservation fee for you, one Aptera point for me if you eventually buy your SEV!

What's an Aptera SEV? Check it out yourself, over on https://t.co/Mx7OIekUpf, and if you fancy reserving one yourself, please feel free to use my referral code:

@Blood4You @SCSsoftware Good going!

I'm at 18 3-stars so far - mission 19 has cost me about 4 hours and I'm still trying! I refuse to move on until I have 3-stars completed...

12 years 2 months and 25 days manufacturer cover?

@vauxhall Zafira B Lifetime Warranty finished as the car passed the 100,000 mile, er, milestone moment today. Basic 1.6L petrol, brilliant family car!

I wonder if there are many more of these Lifetime Warranties still in place?

Nerdy goodness - @LEGO_Group and @Alienware combined!

Yes, it's an Area 51 desktop PC reimagined by @buildamoc in bricks, right down to the liquid cooled CPU, system build/upgrade QR code, and case-top USB ports.

What a time to be alive!! 🤓👍

@Hadrians_Gate Rereading #7 whilst on a short Lake District break. I'd say this is a good representation of a certain 'semi-attractive redhead'...

Ooh, something has arrived safe & sound here in the UK. I wonder what it is...?*

Just need a hideaway jigsaw table** and we're set!

@mischiefcomedy "...a bed of WARTS!"

@MrJamesMay Shave the broccoli, lightly crisp the florette shavings in butter, sprinkle on top of a baked potato along with a generous dollop of Lurpak (spreadable if you must, otherwise get a proper brick of it).

Give the stems to rabbits...

@graeme_cobb That red pops - reminds me of the Mazda red that has depth when the sun shines on it!

@supertanskiii Too many wards around me (23 out of 51 in county) have "Advice pending - check back later" on the stop{insert-here].vote websites - this is the evening before polling day, so it's cutting things fine.

Might be worth starting a campaign for Aussie-style Prefferential Voting...
