Appreciating the inbetween week

I’ve got the week off work (but my daughter is still going to pre-school) so I’ve drawn up a list of things to do that I would normally struggle to do due to lack of time or her presence! There’s a lot of big topic conversations with my wife plus making sure I’m fully present and engaged with her in the evening.

First item on my list - cleaning up my desk, notes and old clothes that need to be thrown out.

15 years of service. Thank you, boots.

Thanks, Santa.

Most web3/NFT enthusiasts I know seem very against mastodon and federated social networks. That seems odd to me (but maybe there’s more nuance in their views than first glances).

Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty. - Doris Day

a brain being pulled up by a balloon gratitude and pulled down by a weight of complaint.

Anyone doing a yearly theme? Tell me what it is and I’ll make a phone wallpaper for it.

So the rumours were true.

Revue is shutting down on Jan 18, 2023.

Very disappointing but luckily there are options like substack ConvertKit and Ghost.

The sketchy ideas newsletter will move to one of these services soon.

Hello from Goa

Been bed ridden most of the day. But I read some books.

Sometimes I see a chain of messages on Facebook messenger and wonder how some people have so much time on their hands.

A few photos from my first day in Bangalore

Finished reading: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 📚

10 years ago I was in Spain…and I did movember…and Apple photos just reminded me of both of these facts. Thanks for the warning never to grow a beard again.

Apparently Musk has complained about Apple on Twitter.

He should have filed a radar 🤭

As part of my wife’s new business she got a whole load of neuland stuff. And I have permission to use some!

I went looking for my Ricoh GR this weekend so I could take it to India. Then I remembered I had left it in the UK! Not sure what I’ll do for photos there but maybe it’s Olympus mju time!

Sometimes I see YouTube thumbnails and worry what happened to the creator…then I realise it’s a review for a new productivity app and it’s “all for the algorithm”.

Happy thanksgiving to all the Americans on Micro.blog.

Visa sorted. Going to be in Bangalore and Goa early December. What a delightfully unexpected surprise.
