Slightly disappointed in myself for letting the release of new Coldplay music pass me by. Making up for it now though.

Using my iPad for some further ideas generation and realising just how useful an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil would be right now.
Decided to go and do some sketch book ideas work in my favourite coffee house. It’s normal quite peaceful and not that many people sitting in. Awesome to see it’s full when I arrive! Good coffee wins.
Looking forward to 3rd party apps with drag & drop support, especially interested to see how @culturedcode do it with Things. Dragging emails to create tasks in Things from Mail.app would be awesome.
Sometimes you just need to spend a Sunday morning reading, listening to music, and drinking coffee. If you’ve never read Mere Christianity change that.
Just posted my first coffee review over on a new side project, Flat white & AeroPress. Fun to do, looking forward to many more.
Apparently it’s world emoji day. Here’s my day in emoji so farโฆ ๐ดโฐโ๏ธ๐จ๐ปโ๐ป๐ถ๐ปโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Interesting evening seeing a friend launch a book he has a short story in and hearing some bits read out.
Itโs been a throughly pleasant day of watching sport. The Lions game, the Formula 1 qualifying and the Test Match. The only break being for a nice walk in the sun to treat myself to a flat white. #winning
Also, waiting for name servers to propagate is rubbish. Just let me start my new project idea!
Another heatwave hitting the UK, I could get used to this. Sunshine is so good for the soul. โ๏ธ๐
Been listening to the new London Grammar album thanks to the latest @ugmonk email. Never listened to them before, absolutely top notch. Thanks for the heads up Jeff!
I’ve been using the free trial of @culturedcode’s Things 3 the last week or so. Superb app. Feels like it suits my way of thinking perfectly.
Just cast my vote. #ivoted
Apple are flying through this keynote, not spending much time on features they might otherwise.
Never mind the new iMac Pro, I want that wireless keyboard! I miss the number pad on my current wireless one.
Finally watching the new season of House of Cards.
Made some updates to my websites theme, the link posts now behave like the traditional linked list items and quotes have a style more befitting them.
Typical British weather, sunny and hot in the build up to a bank holiday weekend then wet and cooler when the weekend arrives.
Love it when the sun is shining, it always lifts my mood considerably. โ๏ธ๐
Waking up to the horrible news from Manchester. Praying for all those effected.
Pushed an update to my portfolio this morning to make it easier to update and more versatile layout wise. Keep an eye on it for updates through the week.
Sat down after work to do a bit of design/coding for my website, all of a sudden it’s well after 10pm!
Decided to try and experiment this week. Alarm clock set to go off at 0730 everyday โ including Saturday and Sunday โ and iPhone alarms turned off.
Cooked breakfast with a friend and now a day of introverting ahead of me. Hopefully some progress on my personal site and portfolio updates.
Such a busy day, all I want to do is crash on the sofa, watch the football and tinker with my new blog design.
I just discovered it’s Mental Health Awareness Week here in the UK. Mental health is vital, take some time this week to read up on it and the effects it can have on people.
Ended the weekend doing some structural design for a new personal website. Clear categories and hopefully some less noise by using a separate stream for Micro posts and photos. Just a case of trying to get WordPress to do what I want, the weakest part of my skill set.
One thing I’ve still not sorted to help me use Micro.blog is posting from my Mac. iOS is no problem thanks to the app and Workflow but the Mac, no so much.
Work finished for the week. Time to relax, feels like it’s been a long week.
