...and now I'm playing around with similar designs to this site circa 2020, and I have to say, I really like it. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Just been for my 3rd run of the week and managed to knock another 35 seconds off my time. πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

I've just been tweaking the design history page and realised that I've had the current design (pretty much) for 3 years now. No wonder I'm getting itchy feet.

I am so tempted to re-design my site to something like this. Someone please step in and tell me it's a bad idea. πŸ˜‚

We've been having some groundwork done to flatten a section at the top of the garden. Living in the Welsh hills means no flat land.

44 tonnes of soil later, we have a flat space. Just need to seed it with grass now...

I hope nothing comes the other way. 🫣

Long day in the office resulted in me feeling tired and lethargic. Went for a run, the endorphins started pumping and I knocked 45 seconds off my time. Feel great now! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

Out With Old Tech, In With the New

Swapped my MacBook for a Framework 13, iPhone for Pixel, left Fosstodon, joined Micro.blog, and canned Kagi & YouTube. Less noise, more life. Here's how it's going...

My mum wanted to go see 28 Years Later, so I took her tonight.

Absolute dog shit. Don’t waste your time. Ralph Fiennes was about the only good thing in it.

My Morning Walk

This post started life as a simple photo of a bridge for the Micro.blog photo challenge, but I ended up documenting the whole walk. Because, why not. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Bought the new version of the #Framework keyboard, which doesn't have a #Windows logo on it. That's always annoyed me, so I'm glad they now offer a version without it in the British layout. πŸ‘πŸ»

Ok, my moment of irrational thought has ended and I'm now thinking more clearly - I don't need to switch anything up. #Kirby is fantastic and I love the site I've built. I'll be staying put.

The edges of the case I have on my phone are textured to help with grip. Why can't phone manufacturers do that on the phone itself? They're so bloody slippy without a case.

I just had a 5 minute conversation with my oldest son about Fortnite. I have no idea what he said; it's a completely different language. πŸ₯΄

A moment of reflection during my early morning outage with the dogs (and cat) this morning. I'm so fortunate.

Doing a Jack Baty...?

I've been thinking about a changing some stuff up around here lately, but I'm on the fence as to what to do. You could say I'm doing a Jack Baty...

It's about a million degrees here in the UK today. This happens about 3 times/yr; for those days we have a portable Aircon unit. Got it out to cool the bedroom and the bloody thing won't turn on. Brilliant. πŸ₯΅
