Forgot to turn my work alarm off. A classic. Took Forest out for a long walk and it was like walking through soup.

Solstice
Apparently today is the winter solstice. I took the dog for an early walk and was treated to this weirdly black-and-white sunrise.
Cool World
First day off of the Christmas period and I have already had an email me asking to do something before Christmas eve. Sigh.
Lights
Nice light day today. And I got to write my out-of-office, which is always nice. Two weeks of Baileys for breakfast.
Nearly there
Tabitha was doing an F1-related art project in acrylic paint. I love acrylic paint.
Blur
Another day I'd rather not think about.
Motion Sickness
I like to go and stand on this when the tide's in. Feels like the floor is moving.
Tethered
The tidiness of my desk is inversely proportional to how chaotic my days have been.
Regal
I was taking pictures of our tree, and Friday decided to come and sit majestically, and stare into the light.
Relax
Weird day. Long day.
rpi
I think I've had most, if not all, revisions of the RaspberryPi since it first launched. They all live in drawers somewhere.
Trash
I can't tell you how often I drive Tabitha to school, see some beautiful light or something, and it's gone by the time I'm home.
2024 Albums
I haven’t done this for a while, but seeing Luke talking about scrobbling and all that made me think about my own listening habits, and before long I had my Plex sqlite database open and was trying to figure out where everything lives.
Buffalo Christmas Meal at terre à terre
I've been looking to this for so long. Don't do that.
Threatening
Trees were full of crows this morning. Tried to get a picture of them but they scarpered. Kinda works anyway.
Ornamental Cherry
I've posted a picture of this before, but I took it on a phone so it doesn't count.
Sticky toffee
Well the plan was to take a picture of the TV when watching the F1 final race, but I forgot.
Foam tips
The new tips on the Airpods are incompatible with my ear. Keep sliding out no matter what size I use.
Paraphernalia
I have a bit of a thing for paraphernalia. I don't really care snot the activity, but you can talk to me about, and show me, your paraphernalia all day.
A new project
We've been using spreadsheets to track time at work, and I've hated it the entire time.
A new record
Cleared out a new Kallax hole in anticipation of some new records. We don't have enough storage/I have too much stuff.
Après Moi
Super nice light this morning so we walked down to the beach with the dog before work.
Sicknote
I am ill today. Slept like absolute trash last night and, thankfully, I had something to put live at 7am and a tonne of email over the weekend.
November Recap
Remembering to walk
I was going to sit in the car and play Mario Kart whilst Tabitha was at badminton, until one of the other parents reminded me I like walking.
For the last month, I've been doing Vimovember (shh, yes it's a thing), and taking a look at how...
For the last month, I've been doing Vimovember (shh, yes it's a thing), and taking a look at how I use Vim and how I could change or improve. It's been super useful and interesting, and it's got me thinking about doing this with other software that I use. I'm not smart enough to come up with the prompt list though!
17
It's our 17th wedding anniversary so, naturally, we spent all day in a dark room, watching 12-year-olds play badminton.
Birb
This lens is hard to use.
We love this little cat
It's illegal to walk into a room where the cat is, without going over for a little chat and a kiss.
Frozen
There's something extremely satisfying about scraping ice off your windscreen in the morning. Unless it somehow got on the inside of the windscreen. Then it's annoying.
