There’s a lot to be said for a 6am walk in the field with the dogs (the cat came too) and a cup of coffee.

Everything is so quiet at that time; just the sounds of various animals doing their thing. Birds, sheep, cows, chickens.

Bliss.

Ooooooooo new #watch day is always fun. This is my new #Spinnaker Spence that I got for an absolute steal from the Spinnaker site. Can't decide if I prefer the bracelet or the blue leather strap though?

Wife: Your 40th birthday is coming up, what do you want for it?

Me: A watch!

Her: Really?! You have loads of them!

Me: So?

There's one I've been saving for her to get me as a gift. To say that I'm now excited is an understatement. Not gonna say what it is yet, but I cannot wait to get it on my wrist.

Also bought another watch last night. I think this means I need to probably sell a couple again...

My wife and I “upgraded” to our fancy-pants new memory foam mattress this weekend, but neither of us are sleeping well. I hope it gets better as we get used to it. 😳

|

My kids (well, let’s be honest, my wife) know I’m a greedy bastard and got me this for #FathersDay.

I think I win Father’s Day, right?

(and yes, some of the donuts are gone already 😂)

Been after a petrol strimmer for a while, but didn’t want to pay a stupid amount for one.

Found a non-running one for free locally. Wasn’t running because of perished fuel lines. £6 in parts and the thing is now running great. 😂

I just logged into #LinkedIn (something I do very rarely) and this is what I was greeted with. Like, seriously, how the fuck is this even usable? Maybe it's time to delete my account...

Apologies if you subscribe to my Watch Log feed. I just pushed a change to it that fixed a small problem, but that problem was with the guids, so feed readers think everything in it is new.

Sorry again. 🙃

Me: This year, I'm gonna get that field looking like a bloody lawn, and I'm gonna cut paths into the other field like a big maze.

Wife: You're a dreamer, Quirk! The grass is far too long for you to cut paths and you're never going to get a FIELD looking like a LAWN.

Me: Hold my beer...

Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Oracle Free Tier…does all this “free” hosting make anyone else uneasy? No? Just me then? 🫣

I'm so ready for the weekend. One more meeting to go...

|

Oooooo new watch day! I'm not into Manga, like at all, but when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. It's such a cool and interesting watch. It almost looks fake.

That feeling when you visit Robin Rendle's website and you're like "urgh, this is such a cool site. I wish I'd thought of that..." 😂

The design of it is just 👌🏻

You know what? The internet can be really fucking cool sometimes.

One of our younger chickens has recently started laying. I think she's a Star Wars fan? 🐔

#DeathStar

Why does #Microsoft #Windows STILL not have tabs in the file explorer???

|

Had a great few days away in mid-Wales with my wife, kids and in-laws. We particularly enjoyed the beach. 🏖️

I wish #Apple would sort their keyboard out. The text correction is shockingly bad, especially when swiping to type. It’s to the point where I have to proofread everything I type.

Perfect example - it just corrected “proodread” to “progress” WTF??

I feel like #Android had this solved like many years ago.

My wife and I recently bought an "Emma Mattress". It's one of those fancy pants memory foam mattresses. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm very excited about it. I think that officially makes me old, right?
