The sad demise of the smartly dressed traveller… It’s not just the smartly dressed traveller that’s disappeared. I recently saw a film of the streets of London in the late 1930’s, everyone looked smart, well dressed, and respectable. Yesterday a trip to buy some groceries revealed a man in a baby pink tracksuit and a woman wearing pyjamas, bathrobe, and slippers… not all progress is positive.
The iPhone 14 Pro is still massively hard to get hold of. Delivery is not until 8th November, and collection is non-existent.

A little under four months ago I made a decision about my blog and moved it to use Ghost with the aim of building a more regular posting habit. Needless to say it hasn’t really happened. So I’ve decided to make another decision and go all in on Micro.blog. Recently I’ve been on a slow and considered drive to simplify things in my life mostly in the digital realm, but not all of it.
My copy of Somebody Feed Phil the Book arrived yesterday. Forgot I had ordered it so it was a nice surprise.
I really want to find a widget that can recreate this kind of style on iPadOS.
Finished watching season 2 of Tehran on Apple TV+. I really enjoyed it, definitely one to watch, more and more gripping as the season went on. 📺
You know it’s a long day when I brew a coffee at 16:30… 🥱
I am constantly torn when it comes to Google. I don’t like their data collecting strategy but the design of their products is very attractive and appeals to me which makes me want to use them…
Mid morning coffee in Cheltenham’s newest espresso bar. Tastes as good as it looks. ☕️
Goodbye Your Majesty, and thank you for everything. 😢🇬🇧
I have never known life without the Queen, she was a women of great integrity and dedication. I never met her but I will miss her in a way I can’t quite put into words. May God bless her as she finally gets to rest in His presence.
The new default theme in Obsidian is a big improvement, but I think I still prefer Craft. The only thing missing is some kind of graph view.
New Obsidian theme looks good, but I think I still prefer Craft. I do miss the graph view though, especially the local graph for the relationships with the current file.

The last few years has seen the prolific rise of the content creator the people who create content for other people to consume. I dislike this phrase. I don’t like it for a few reasons, but the primary one is I don’t consume content and I hate to break it to you, but neither do you. If you read books they are written by an author, someone who has taken a lot of time and expended a lot of energy in dedication to writing.

I’ve just heard someone use the phrase “minor attracted”. Excuse me but that’s called paedophilia and should never be tried to be legitimised by changing the language.
I’ve really enjoyed this episode of Thoroughly Considered discussing the Sonos Move and the whole Sonos ecosystem. Made me reasses how I’m using mine. Just wish the Mac app wasn’t so horrendous.
It’s Coldplay day!
Moved back to Overcast from Pocket Casts because Overcasts CarPlay app is better…
Saying good bye to this faithful friend after 10 years and thousands of miles. Happy retirement.
