Notes
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 just logged into my RSS reader and I see a number of unread posts from Jack Baty. That can only mean one thing...he switched platform again. 🤣
Youngest: [pointing to a sign that says "Chiropodist"] daaaad, what does that say?
Me: That says "shi-rop-oh-dist".
Him: What's that?
Me: it's someone who looks after people's feet.
Him: Random...

Wife has some friends over.
Me: "I'm just going out to the garage. I'll be back in 10 mins."
2 hours later... 🤣
I've been having some fun coding on this site recently (now I have more time). The latest addition is a Stats page. I've been wanting to do one for ages, and finally managed to get it done. Check it out...
The cat and I don't really spend any time together as I'm not a cat person. She can be quite cute though.
Out of office is on, my laptop is shut down, and my work phone is off.
See you in a week, work! 🥳
Spent the last couple days re-jigging my watch collection and watch wearing log so they use an SQLite DB instead of a text file. Been a fun little project.
I also added the last time I wore each watch in my collection.

I've been really struggling lately. I have very little motivation, and very few things are making me happy. I feel over-worked and under-appreciated, which is having a much bigger impact on me than I thought it would. I need to make some changes and pull myself out of this rut.

Cheers, son. 💩
The single most frustrating thing about flipping from #iOS to #Android is that on iOS I can swipe from the either edge of the screen to go forward or back. On Android, for some stupid reason, swiping either way always goes back.
Sign me up! 🤦🏼♂️
I'm really enjoying #Ubuntu, but the single most annoying thing is that a number of apps are blurry to the point of being unusable, thanks to fractional scaling. I believe it's a Wayland issue. 😟
Anyone know of a fix?
So it turns out that rotavating (tilling) is really bloody hard work!
Another beautiful day in north Wales. Today's plan is to get on the 60 year old rotavator that I recently repaired, and chop up some grass ready for planting wild flowers in one of the fields. 🌷🌹🌻🪻
I love this time of year.
There are few things more enjoyable than the first coffee of the day. ☕
End of an era. 🙁
There are definitely worse places to spend your lunch.
The fact that there is no discover emoji on Micro.blog for technology is very disappointing. 😟 It seems like such an obvious one to include. 💻️
Beautiful moth I just found on the wall. Never seen one this colour before.
