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 β€œupgraded” 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 πŸ˜‚)

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. Β£6 in parts and the thing is now running great. πŸ˜‚

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...

LinkedIn homescreen that's not visible due to unread messages.

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. πŸ™ƒ

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 β€œfree” hosting make anyone else uneasy? No? Just me then? 🫣
