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’¨

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.

Just been for my first run in quite some time. RIP my knees tomorrow...

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»

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₯΄

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₯΅

Haven't ridden the #Enfield since I bought the BMW. Decided I'd take it to work today to see if I can make up my mind about whether or not I want to sell it.

Still on the fence...

If you have never stood in front of your destination, with your back to it, and said to the kids "I think it's around here somewhere. Possibly over there... while pointing in the opposite direction to said destination, are you even a Dad at all?

Does anyone else's #Ubuntu machine hang on shutdown? This happens to me regularly. It just sits there and I have to long-press the power button.

I ended my #Kagi subscription 11 days ago, and switched back to #DuckDuckGo. Honestly, I haven't really noticed any difference. I still found what I wanted to find, and I'm $10/month better off.

One of the things that really annoys me about #Ubuntu are tabs on the Files app. The colours are back to front. If you look at the image attached, "Home" is the active tab here, not "GitHub".

It should be inverted; the inactive tab should be grey and the active tab should be white.

Hot weather β˜€οΈ + pooches with thick coats 🐢 = uncomfortable pooches. πŸ₯΅

Lucky for us we have a way of cooling down at home. πŸ™ƒ

Always reassuring when you're sat on the toilet in work and you hear the iOS camera sound coming from another cubicle. 🫣

One of the things that's been frustrating me about #MicroBlog is that it only ever replies to a single person. If I want to reply to multiple, I have to remember their handle.

...and then I discovered the little @ symbol in the toolbar that lets me reply any/all in the thread. Idiot! πŸ˜‚

I watched a bit of the #Apple event, but lost interest after 40 mins. So this "groundbreaking re-design" is (drum-roll please πŸ₯πŸ₯)...

Translucent backgrounds. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

🀣🀣 Oh Apple...

Is there anything more frustrating than updating the maps on a Sat Nav? Why have Sat Nav manufacturers not figured this out yet? It's been long enough...
