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.
FFS #Mozilla, what are you doing?
Say it with me folks…
WE 👏 DON’T 👏 WANT 👏 ANY 👏 ADS
To “fix the internet” we don’t 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? 🤯

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. 🥶🔥🔥
When I was in the USA recently, I’d get laughs every time I pulled my phone out (not very often as I hardly use it). It’s an #iPhone 13 Mini and everyone commented on how they’ve 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? 🤷♂️
Ahhhhh shit, he found us. 😂😂
Tia and I are sharing peanut butter pretzels.
Shhhhh Sid hasn’t noticed yet. 🤫
The dogs hate being walked in the rain. ☔️
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. 🫣
I finally broke and allowed my wife to get one of the kids an #Alexa for their birthday. They love it. I’m now silent every time I walk past his bedroom…
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 can’t bend down without groaning.
I checked my phone and there are multiple “happy birthday” texts. Ah yeah, I turned 40 today. Bollocks.
Kids are at their Nan’s and we went to CostCo yesterday. That means we end up having shit like this for breakfast. 😂
Wife and I went to a spa today. I had a facial treatment (my first ever). The conversation with the therapist (is that what they’re called?) went something like this…
Her: what’s your daily skincare routine?
Me: mmmm, I wash it?
Her: Okay. What type of skin do you have?
Me: Wrinkly? 🤷♂️
I don’t think I was her target demographic. 😂
Morning walks in the field with the dogs are my favourite time of day. All I can hear is sheep bleating, chickens crowing and birds chirping. It’s the best.
I've just been upgraded to #Windows11 on my work machine, only to find that there's no longer an option to move the taskbar to the top. What the fuck is that all about??
The pea collector… 🫛
Spent today re-laying part of the drive, but I ran out of gravel. Apparently 4 tonnes wasn’t enough. 🤦♂️
Another tonne is coming Wed, so I’ll finish it then.
My wife sent me this picture yesterday. Growing your own food is pretty fucking cool. 🥕 🫛 🥚
