To my surprise I really enjoyed it. It turned out that writing and learning are a lot of fun, and I was constantly looking for ways to practice my new found writing skills. I think that's part of why I still love typing - I just find creating words on a screen a lot of fun.

I couldn’t agree more. It makes my recent writing block all the more troubling. After a message from a kind friend who saw my post yesterday, I’ve decided to try and start small with posts like this one.

I have a problem, that some might call a block. Simply put, I want to blog but don’t know what to write. Every time I sit down I am left with a blank brain, every time I think I should post about that nothing comes out. A blockage that won’t budge that results in nothing being written.

Catching up on the new Apple stuff over coffee this morning and so far there’s one thing I want from the Duo on my iPad. The dock on the side, some of those controls on the side of apps especially when in tablet mode and detached from Magic Keyboard.

Finished reading: Odyssey by Stephen Fry 📚

Very enjoyable. I wish I had been able to read it all before I saw the new film, but even so, it is worth a read afterwards.

First day back at work after a very relaxing and enjoyable week and a bit off exploring the North East coast of England.

At last we have some rain down in the south of England. It’s been a long time coming and desperately needed as well, if I hadn’t been on a work call and didn’t have the plumber here I think I would be outside standing in it.

I’ve set my old MacBook Pro up as a home server and I’m slowly experimenting with various different things I can do with it. It’s like a fun summer side project.

I’ve set up Plex and Navidrome on it so far, I’ve been rediscovering my old mp3 library while I work. This afternoon I set up Home Assistant, although I’m not sure how much better it is than the Apple Home app, I do like the way it handles my TV. More experimenting to come.

My attempt at watching and capturing this evenings eclipse.

Filming for Amazon’s Young Sherlock in town today.
