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? 😳

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. ❤️

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 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.
