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 #GenshinImpact #ChallengeVarka #Varka #VarkaTheLegend @GenshinImpact x.com/GenshinImpact/…

In breaking news, to meet net zero targets the Star of Bethlehem has been replaced by a Tesla headlamp.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. aptera.us/reserve?referr… 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 aptera.us, and if you fancy reserving one yourself, please feel free to use my referral code: lz953.isrefer.com/go/preorder/a9… Reservations are 100% refundable, but you get 30% off the initial fee if you use my link.

#BritishPodcastAwards britishpodcastawards.com/voting I've voted for @jemmaforte and @MarinaPurkiss, creators/presenters of their ace podcast, @TheTrawlPodcast @TheTrawlFans

@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...

Finally! After a lot of sweat & tears, I made the 3 stars achievment of the driving academy. So I'm back at 100% achievements! #ATS #AmericanTruckSimulator @SCSsoftware

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?

"Leave it!" @jemmaforte @MarinaPurkiss @TheTrawlFans

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'...

Spent an hour generating character images using Chat GPT. Well impressed with the results and can see me using these to bring some of my stories to life! Can you name the character? Also, do I need to somehow tag these as AI? Anyone advise?

This is the maximum towing capacity for a Dodge Ram 3500

@Hadrians_Gate Worth not quitting Xitter just to hear this news... 😎👍

As I get ready to get back to writing after a break, I’ve discover the power of Chat GPT in helping me with continuity. My books cover a sprawling, expansive galaxy of characters - 7 books and over 400k words in, it’s hard to keep track! And I’ve just told AI it’s exciting 🙈😂

@SimoneGiertz 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! [*don't turn the picture upside down to read the edge - that'd be cheating] {**oopsies - that's a clue} yetch.studio/products/edge-…

@mischiefcomedy "...a bed of WARTS!" "No, I made the lemonade!" "... .... ...... I'm Winston Churchil." "How many errors was that...?"

@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...

I love vegetables. I love buying them, peeling them, chopping them. But… Broccoli?

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

🚨Four Months with my Model 3 LR RWD🚨 I’ve had my Tesla Model 3 for just over 4 months with collection day on 28 December. I’ve used 711 kWh of energy to charge it at a cost of £49.77 for 2,343 miles. Its average energy consumption is 229 Wh/mile or 4.36 miles/kWh and improving as we head into warmer months. I’m very happy with that.

@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...

This is the fourth outing for a campaign that in two locals and one GE, helped to wipe out the Tories. Now, we need to ensure Reform DOES NOT GAIN from Tory losses. Tactical voting on May 1st will hurt both and give you progressive representation. stopthetories.vote
