Notes are my shorter posts; kinda like my own little microblog. They have their own RSS feed and are automatically syndicated to my social profiles.
I upgraded to MacOS Sequoia last night. This morning I had a popup explaining some of the new feature.
STOP THE PRESS! MacOS finally has window snapping...it's finally caught up to Windows 7. π€¦ββοΈ

Was searching for something and I clicked on a Sun link (π€’). Anyway, I got this popup. What the actual fuck, we now have to pay to be able to reject cookies??

Beautiful sky when I came home this evening.

I just realised that today is the 2 year anniversary of our move to our little Welsh smallholding. How time flies...
Our chickens have half a stable that I partitioned for them. I even insulated it!
Chickens come in at night and are like βnah, weβre good on this tiny ledge right by the open door. Cheers though. πβ


FFS #Mozilla, what are you doing?
Say it with me folksβ¦
WE π DONβT π WANT π ANY π ADS
To βfix the internetβ we donβt need more ads, we need you guys to come up with more diverse revenue streams. Like, I dunno, making great products and charging for them? π€―

I've just discovered baby hippos and they're my new favourite thing.

How to make yourself sound like an absolute wanker in a single sentence:
Lee is a managing director of a $102B private equity firm, he is probably richer than me. (Though I doubt he gives back as much.)
Well done, Matt. You continue to make yourself look like an utter tosser.
First fire of the year. π₯Άπ₯π₯




When I was in the USA recently, Iβd get laughs every time I pulled my phone out (not very often as I hardly use it). Itβs an #iPhone 13 Mini and everyone commented on how theyβve never seen one, how cute it is, and would ask how I use something so small.
Are smaller phones really that rare in the States? π€·ββοΈ
Ahhhhh shit, he found us. ππ

Tia and I are sharing peanut butter pretzels.
Shhhhh Sid hasnβt noticed yet. π€«

The dogs hate being walked in the rain. βοΈ


My wife ordered this watch for me 3 months ago, for my birthday. It finally turned up and it is incredible. These pictures do it absolutely no justice at all.
This is the Selten Salvage Bronze, for anyone who is interested.




I hope nothing is coming the other way. π«£

I finally broke and allowed my wife to get one of the kids an #Alexa for their birthday. They love it. Iβm now silent every time I walk past his bedroomβ¦
Wife and I finished the second season of House Of Dragons tonight. It was a crap as the first season; very little happened (again) and it ended on a massive cliffhanger.
I went to bed last night feeling fine, but this morning I woke up and my back hurts, my knees hurt and a canβt bend down without groaning.
I checked my phone and there are multiple βhappy birthdayβ texts. Ah yeah, I turned 40 today. Bollocks.
Kids are at their Nanβs and we went to CostCo yesterday. That means we end up having shit like this for breakfast. π

Wife and I went to a spa today. I had a facial treatment (my first ever). The conversation with the therapist (is that what theyβre called?) went something like thisβ¦
Her: whatβs your daily skincare routine?
Me: mmmm, I wash it?
Her: Okay. What type of skin do you have?
Me: Wrinkly? π€·ββοΈ
I donβt think I was her target demographic. π
