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'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?
So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq #Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?
Me: Go and tidy your room please. I only want to see a single Hot Wheels loop out in there.
1 hour later…
Youngest: Dad, I’ve tidied my room and there’s only one Hot Wheels loop in there now. Come and look…
Me: THAT’S MASSIVE!
Him: Yeah (looking confused), but it’s only one loop.
Me: 🤦♂️
It never ceases to amaze me when I go to the stable and find fresh eggs in there. I don’t know why, I just think it’s incredibly cool that these little animals can produce an egg, every day.
Also found 2 had been snuck into the pack of bedding straw. 🥚🐓🥚🐓
My wife has been offering to make a lot of coffees recently, should I be worried? 😳
#KillHimLikeAWeed
One really great unintended advantage of building my watch picker/log is that it’s now become a little thing that my youngest son and I do every morning.
He chooses the watch, then finds it in my collection for me to wear. ❤️
This is a fascinating read. I’ve never heard of Hikikomori before.

Holy shit that was a busy day! What ever happened to relaxing weekends??
Ok, kids are in bed so it’s time for a beer in the hot tub, I think. 👌
I've been experimenting with a notes page on my blog (https://kevquirk.com/notes) and cross-posting to socials.
It’s getting tedious already, so I’m not sure this one will stick…
I replaced the blades on the mower. I think its fair to say that the old ones were past their best. 😳
Having my 1:1 with my boss, both on camera and my cat throws up in the background.
Him: Did your cat just throw up?
Me: Yes. Yes, she did. I was hoping you didn't see that. 😂
Him: You wanna end early and go clean than up.
Me: Nah, it's good. Looks like one of the dogs is eating it anyway. 🤮
So over the last couple weeks I’ve been getting back into weight training and more intense cardio in my little home gym.
I nearly skipped tonight because I’m so tired from work, glad I didn't now those endorphins have kicked in.
