Bank holiday coffee by the lake.

I’ve been struggling with my depression again the last couple of months. I’ve been lent a massive Lego kit to build, it’s great for occupying my mind.

Confession time, I’ve never once snoozed an email. I don’t understand why people want to snooze emails, if it needs acting on I turn it into a task and move on.

Starting to play around and appreciate the camera on the iPhone XS a bit more. Only had it a couple of weeks, but it’s a big jump from my iPhone 7.

I’ve been making use of my Starling Bank current account more this month. Starting to think it’s time to make the jump and go all in with them. They seem to be the most promising of all the challenger banks at the moment.

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

Matthew 28:6

Excited for this to arrive today! Big fan of @austinkleon’s other books.

Really encouraging morning at church seeing three of the youth get baptised, followed by an afternoon hanging out with my fellow youth leaders planning the a future youth weekend away.

Apologies to my Mum (and anyone else who gets notified by email about new posts) for the couple of hundred emails now clogging your inbox after my Instagram photo import. Didn’t think about that before I started. #oops

Decided that tonight I’m not going to turn the TV on in an attempt to stop myself wasting evenings absorbed in whichever boxset I’m currently watching. I’ve personal projects I want to start, books I want to read, and music I want to listen too.

Had a nice start to the weekend enjoying a couple of glasses of wine, catching up on Designated Survivor while hacking away at a new custom blog theme. Aiming to have the theme resolved enough to put it on the site this weekend and then keep iterating from there.

Such a beautifully sunny day today, sucks to be stuck looking out at it whilst at work, but something about the sun shining brightly is uplifting.

The world is going mad. I’ve just seen a shampoo advert with one of it’s points being that it doesn’t have any gluten in it… what does gluten have to do with washing your hair?

Downloaded Drafts 5 to give it a go. Any hints for a new user?

I haven’t listened to Beats 1 since Apple Music first came out, but today I discovered that Bonobo did a One Mix a while ago and it’s excellent.

Decided to turn off cross posting from my blog to Twitter for microposts. Might look into doing it on a per-post basis, but I’ve found myself posting less and have a hunch that might be what’s behind it.

Shift 4 of 4 today. Really looking forward to a day off tomorrow, it’s been a long week.

Gah, can’t seem to get iOS to post photos to my blog properly.

Very intrigued by the updated iPad with Apple Pencil support. Since it was released the Pencil seemed like it would be a great fit for me as a designer, the iPad Pro has always been too expensive for me to consider but this seems much more within reach for a future purchase.

The more I use CSS Grid the more I wish for the ability to set a baseline in my CSS. It seems like a logical addition since the two are so intertwined in the print world.

Many years behind the curve, but I now have Windows running in Parallels on my Mac so that I can fix a CSS display bug in Internet Explorer.

Forgot to wear my hat to work this morning. I don’t think my ears have ever been colder than they were on the way home from work this evening. This Beast from the East is showing its teeth today. ❄️

Today is the 30th day of posting to my blog in a row. I set myself the challenge to post everyday through February, started a little bit before and here we are. I aimed to post a bit more than a status post each day, but sometimes life happens and that’s ok.

I was going to start a new running programme this week, but with the weather as cold as it is there’s no way that’s happening!

On weeks that have felt as long as this one, a glass of wine on the sofa in front of a great film seems like the best way to end it. Tonight’s movie choice, Gladiator. 🎥📺
