I've been thinking about getting an activity tracker to, you know, track my activities. But I don't want to wear that, plus a watch. Then I remembered I have an old Garmin (from 2017) in the drawer. Still working great, so I'll use that instead. 🙃
This post is fantastic. Thanks, Manu.

Whenever I've checked Mastodon recently, all I've been seeing are angry posts about Trump, Elon, and now the whole Manton/Vincent vs Adam drama.
For the record, I'm not saying any of it is wrong. I'm just saying I'm sick of reading about how shit the world is. I need a break from it.
I write most post from the notes section of my blog and they're automatically syndicated to Masto. So you'll probably still see posts, but I doubt I'll be active in the replies for a little while.

I've heard a lot of people comment on how good iA Writer is, but it's £50!
Is it really that good?
I heard a great saying recently that I'm 100% going to steal.
"Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one."
2025 can just fuck right off. I'm at the back end of my second working week of the year which, ironically, is also my second 50+ hour working week.
There's a big yellow thing in the sky that has killed all the snow.
I don't know what it is.

I don’t understand services like Instagram and their ilk. They’re photo sharing services, right? But I can share photos here AND write text AND add links. See, I just did both below.
Don’t get it. 🤷♂️
(yes, that is an evil looking chicken)
With all the shit going on at the moment with #WordPress and #Facebook, this is a welcome change.
Love this.

"Quickly switching to the new monitor" has turned into a bit more of a thing. 🤦🏼♂️
Out with the dogs in the fields, kids are sword fighting with some sticks in the background (can you find them?) this is what Sundays are all about.
Picking the kids up from school today (which is at the top of a massive hill) and it's utter carnage with all the snow. Glad I got here early, but I'm worried I'm gonna come back to a damaged car...
Thank you, hooman, for lighting the fire for me.
Just logging in to catch up on work emails ahead of going back tomorrow. I know I'm going to regret this...
It's so cold even the chickens don't want to go out! 🐓🥶
First day back to school/work tomorrow. The kids did NOT like being forced awake at 7am this morning to get them ready for tomorrow. 😂
I really hate the dark version of my site. I'm thinking about removing it completely and going light only, but don't want to burn people's retinas at night. I suppose there's always reader mode for them... 🤔
Ok, so I just watched The Godfather. Yeahhhh it's pretty good.
Just looking at Manton’s new Micro.one service and I don’t understand it.
It looks like Micro.blog, less the cross-posting stuff, for the same price. Colour me utterly confused. What am I missing?
Been in bed since 10pm on #NewYearsEve and that’s perfect. 👌
