Jeremy Clarkson ploughed my field 😁

Tesla will trickle charge all day on solar. Judging by the decent forecast tomorrow, we’ll easily begin the week with 80% as usual. Put €40 in the old banger (which I use as my bar car) and the fuel gauge barely moved 😳

Siri has taken over my phone.

Ok. Let’s buy a heap more here. I wonder where we’ll be in 10 years’ time.

🇮🇹BIG NEWS: Italy scraps the bollo (Vehicle Excise Duty in U.K.) from 2027 on cars with engines rated up to 80 kW - along with every motorbike/scooter.
The Tesla is already on different rules. This one is for the cars most people drive. UK still taxes the lot. Would you rather Italy’s cut or Britain’s road tax?

Remember this. Today: Buying $OPEN

iOS 27 installed. Is anyone already doing anything particularly cool with it?

Hazelnuts. I have thousands ready. Apart from just eating them as they are, any ideas?

More figs. My wife has made a couple of crumbles with them this time. Freezer is absolutely rammed. Would you let the birds have the several hundred left on the trees?

This is worth a read. Even if you’re a hard-core Trump supporter, there are things here which you can’t ignore. Andrew Neil takes no prisoners of politicians of any side. It’s almost as if he dislikes them all - so don’t come back at me with accusations of bias. I’m increasingly interested in how the mid-terms will go - as an investor, almost entirely in US stocks, you have to pay attention.

UK 10-year gilt hits 5.3% ouch! Highest since 2007. Higher yield = nightmare for Chancellor before budget. Will he tighten spending, raise tax, or borrow more?

iPhone Duo isn’t for me. I have enough trouble with my Pro Max not fitting in a pocket. This would genuinely be inconvenient to carry around for me. Very cool engineering though. It’ll sell in bucketloads in the US & Asia. Who’s ordering?

There’s some interesting fashion going on with the Apple Event presenters. 🤔

13A trickle only. Matches my 6 kWp solar.
Sun out = free charge. Sometimes I drop it to 7A and let it tick during production hours to 80%. 
Who else under-charges on purpose?

Incredible F1 GP. Edge of my seat all race long. 8 years ago I stood on the track underneath Lewis Hamilton & his Mercedes win. The atmosphere is like nowhere else.

Italian pizzeria. Pineapple!! is on the menu. I ordered Diavola + jalapeños. Would you go for pineapple?? 🍍🍕

Fig season has arrived in Italy. 🇮🇹 I’ve got hundreds of these beauties ripening on the trees right now, and they’re coming thick and fast. The problem isn’t getting enough figs. It’s figuring out what the hell to do with them all. 😄
