I went for an 8km (5 mile) run this evening. I'm working my way up to 10km, but I think this was a little too much, too soon. We'll see how my middle-aged joints are in the morning...
Every time I look at Sven's blog I get jealous. I loved his previous design so much I copied it (with his permission). His new design is so fun and it's making me want to make mine more fun (no copying this time though).
I'm just not sure I have the time at the moment. 🤔
Haven't worn this watch for months, but it's such a fun one to wear in summer. Beautiful dial and a Seiko movement that will probably outlive me.
It's a beautiful morning here in North Wales. My wife has taken our youngest to his cricket match, and our oldest is upstairs playing with his Lego out of the heat.
Me? I'm sitting in the sunroom, listening to the goats and chickens, with a coffee and book.
Perfect Sunday morning.
A Rant About Modern Cars
I recently bought a new Peugeot and the experience of getting setup on their online platform has been painful to say the least.
Extinct
The 3rd book in RR Haywood's Extracted trilogy did not disappoint. Such a fantastic series.
I have just eaten a GIANT bowl of granola, fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt, and home grown honey (by one of our neighbours). I have zero regrets, but I may skip lunch today. 🤣
Guinea fowl keets are doing great too. All 5 are loving life with their foster mums.
We now have 3 chicks - two white and one black.
First two chicks!
Two of the eggs are starting to hatch and we can hear multiple chicks cheeping away. Exciting! 🐣
Built for Exactly One
Amit talks about what motivated him to build his custom blogging platform, Jot. It's an interesting read that resonated with me as it aligns with why I created Pure Blog.
This blog is written in en-GB
Terrence talks about some of the wonderful idiosyncrasies of the British language and that, no, he won't be making his writing more global.
Our 2 hens have finished sitting on the Guinea fowl eggs - out of 10, we managed to hatch 5 of them.
The chicken eggs we have in the incubator won't be ready for another week or so. Excited to see how many of them we get.
The Laziest Generation
House prices are a fun topic! Ibrahim gets into it and I have opinions.
3D Printers are actually very useful
So it turns out that 3D printers are actually very useful and I've been able to make my home office just a little bit cooler.
My first rather large #3DPrinting project. Can anyone work out what they are?
(No they're not abstract Starship Enterprises)
You know what isn't fun? Living in a 200 year old stone house, with no insulation, during a heatwave.
There's collapsed animals (not literally) and fans all over the place. 🥵️
Create one of those Uses pages. Still a work in progress, but there's a good chunk of the stuff I use on there now.
