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! πŸ₯³

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.

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! πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

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. 🌷🌹🌻πŸͺ»

I love this time of year.

There are few things more enjoyable than the first coffee of the day. β˜•

Beautiful moth I just found on the wall. Never seen one this colour before.

I hate getting new prescription glasses - it always takes me a few days of wearing them for my eyes to adjust to being able to see properly again. πŸ€“

Most of the time it's motorbikes up on my lift, but every now and then weird stuff make their way on there too, like this 60 year old soil tiller...

Traffic is awful round here.

So I recently took my #Motorbike in for it's first service and while there, they gave me this absolute BEAST to take out for a few hours.

Very similar to my bike except it's 200bhp instead of 170bhp. Beautiful machine.
