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
Last month felt busy, and this month has been no different. Although I actually have been super busy, especially the last couple of weeks!
Earlier in the month we went to see Benson Boone at the O2. Can't say I'm a big fan of his music but it was a good evening. On the way b...
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.
James Acaster at Komedia
I lucked out and got tickets to go and see James Acaster this evening. The show was a very welcome return to form.
Wave
Charlotte and I took the dog for a walk at lunch. The sea was so rough.

Florian recommended me to Hyde for his series Over/Under, which was very nice of him. I love the concept of this, and I love answering this sort of thing.
Whenever I come across someone riding a fixie, I feel a connection with them as if we are part of the same group.
Strongly agree with this. It's quite strange; I don't feel this way about anything else I do. Photography, gaming, badminton, even cycling in general don't trigger that for me, but I love seeing people ride fixed gear.
Don’t be lazy, and make your own ones.
Now I really want to do this, but I probably shouldn't.
I've been using fzf all wrong
fzf is one of those pieces of software that I've had installed for years, but I don't really use it. I know how good it is, but I just absent-mindedly used it for something so useful that I think I accidentally just made something I find extremely tedious, incredibly trivial.
Morning cuddle
Sometimes this dog is so full of love. I know he wants to be good, but he's too drawn to being annoying.
(hed) p.e. at Chalk
Charlotte and I went to see (hed) p.e., Spineshank, and Drowning Pool at Chalk. We left after Spineshank.
Cinema
I would like to propose a concept: the cinema license. It would get you into specific license-holder screenings of films.
Resident Annual Launch Party
Tonight was the Annual launch party. Was looking forward to this, for no other reason than not knowing what it was going to be!
Sweets
Charlotte got me some sweets to have after badminton. I learned it's too cold for sweets.
Ominous
Crows on what looks like a wrought iron weather vane, atop a church? That's ominous.
Sick day
I have been ill today. Couldn't even drag myself to my desk. Went for some fresh air and to get any old photo for the day.
A revolting hotdog
We went to IKEA because they have a hotdog that Charlotte wanted to try. It did not look appetising.
Chelmsford, Essex
Tabitha played her first U15 match for Sussex today.
Art Supplies
Tabitha is enjoying art at school. To be fair she's always enjoyed drawing at home, I just didn't expect she'd enjoy the more rigid structure that comes with learning it.
Silhouette
I really liked this photo this morning, but now I don't and I'm not changing it. Maybe in two months I'll like it.
Stars
There is supposed to be a meteor shower this evening. Clouds blew in with comic timing.
Loud
I've had a loud day today. Lots of noise. Some good, some bad. Some audible, some metaphorical.
Wheel
There's a guy who lives near us, who's had two really old Rovers parked outside for ages. Today there was a new car.
Morning Ride
Went out on the bike whilst Tabitha was playing badminton. My stamina is atrocious, but I had a lovely time and now I feel great!
