Three quick CSS tips
Setting a 1px solid coloured border makes it easy to see how much space an element is taking up on the page, or what the CSS selector you have written selects. This is helpful in debugging where rules apply on the page. The :target selector lets you select an element whose ID has been targeted. For instance, if you are viewing example.com/index.html#coffee, the element with the ID coffee would be targeted. This is useful for adding a highlight (i.e. a background colour or a border) to the element that the page the user is visiting has linked directly to. Add line-height: 1.5 to text on the page to create more space between lines of text on the page. Learn more about line height.

A little thing I wrote in my notes recently: To push for things to stay the same means you miss out on all the richness that can come from novelty — to miss out on all the stories one could have lived. This very post is pushing to try something new; to share a note as yet undeveloped, with only the knowledge that I feel I will be reflecting on it for many years. As the years pass I appreciate the beauty of the changing seasons more, and all of the new-to-me things I see within each.

A wooden love heart and a pot of flowers
We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.
… aaaand two months after the warranty expired, the Bosch CityMower is dead. 😔 I had mustered all the choice-supportive bias that’s in me to make me believe for a little while that although the thing felt like plastic trash, it is “lightweight” and that “it’s a Bosch.” I should have known better … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
🎬 12 Angry Men

Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.
