At the start of March, it was Book Week at the British International School of Tbilisi. Year 3 students were given a fun assignment: create a short video about their favourite book and take photos of themselves reading in unusual places.We slightly misunderstood the task and ended up focusing entirely on reading in unusual places, turning it into a little family adventure around Tbilisi. What started as a simple school project became something…
As of March 27, 2026, our options trading driven stock portfolio declined slightly by -0.24%, closing at $11,183.The dip is largely explained by EUR/USD exchange rate movements rather than any weakness in the underlying positions. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, trading around 1.15. Since our base currency is EUR, this directly impacts how the portfolio is valued in USD terms.That said, broader markets did sell off sharply on…
In a few months, my personal blog will turn 13 years old. Over that time, I’ve published hundreds of articles. For most of it, I followed a simple rule: every article should include a custom image.At first, that meant manually sourcing visuals. Later, creating them myself. Today, with AI tools, generating images is trivial.But that leads to a more interesting question: do we actually need a separate image for every article?I’ve written dozens of…
As of March 20, 2026, our covered-call stock portfolio has increased slightly by +0.62% and closed at $11,210. For most of the week, we didn’t make any trades or adjustments. On Friday, after previous spreads expired worthless, we opened two new credit spreads on NVDA and BMY.Additionally, we bought 0.1 shares of MCD. If you’ve been following our portfolio, you’ll know this is something we do occasionally—typically when visiting a McDonald’…
As of March 13, 2026, our covered-call stock portfolio has decreased slightly by -0.63% and closed at $11,141. This is already the second week in a row that our portfolio value has decreased. However, the decline is largely explained by currency movements. Since the portfolio’s base currency is EUR, the drop should primarily be attributed to the USD/EUR exchange rate. The greenback strengthened against the euro and traded around 1.14.Rising…
As of March 6, 2026, our covered-call stock portfolio has decreased slightly by -1.16% and closed at $11,211. As our portfolio’s base currency is EUR, the decrease should primarily be attributed to the USD/EUR exchange rate. The greenback strengthened against the euro and traded around 1.16.At the start of the week, I took a proactive stance and rolled down and forward the PFE put for a credit. The plan is to roll it further if needed. I…
Ethereum has been one of the most important investments in my crypto journey. I started accumulating ETH years ago, held it through multiple cycles, and even at some point I was holding about 12 ETH. Over time I sold portions at different prices.Today I hold 2 ETH, which I actively use in our Terramatris Ethereum strategy of trading covered calls on Ethereum. Despite trading around my position, I have a simple long-term rule:I will not let…
I first discovered the Magalaant Church Complex a few years ago during one of our spontaneous road trips to Kavtiskhevi. No fixed plan, no strict itinerary - just a turn off the main road and the usual curiosity about what might be hiding on the hills above the valley. That’s often how the best places are found.Magalaant sits modestly on a hillside, overlooking the surrounding landscape with the calm confidence typical of old Georgian churches.…
