Playing with my iPad home screen now I have access to more widgets. Didn’t realise you can rearrange portrait and it doesn’t affect landscape until now.
This Apple Music playlist has been good for my soul this morning. Found it thanks to the “Friends Are Listening To” feature. Thankful to the two friends who had listened before me.

Got my updated driving licence. Why do I always look like a convict in the photo?

I never understand why task management apps truncate the task title instead of wrapping the text.
First day back after a week off work. Finally made it to the bottom of the pile of emails and Teams messages.
Watched the Apple event. Considering replacing my XS with a 13, but not sure if I need it just yet. Can’t tell if the midnight is really dark blue or black, it’s a confusing name but at least it’s not another space grey.
Having a week away with my parents. Went for a wander around Leominster today.

I really like the idea behind the Logi Dock. I’m looking at a dock of some kind for my laptop given I’ll be going to the office more in the coming months and it’s a pain unplugging all the cables each time.
I’ve been looking at Hook again this week. I really love the concept of it and I see that it has more app integrations now. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work with the beta Todoist app which has me looking at other task apps again.
Very gloomy weather this morning. It’s a dark mode and headphones kind of day.
Put the iOS 15 beta on my iPhone over the weekend. I actually really like new Safari, although taking a bit of getting used to tapping at the bottom of the screen to start a search.
Blocked off my day into three distinct chunks today. It worked really well. Made progress on three projects so I’ll be repeating the same structure tomorrow.
Not quite sure why, but I’ve made the docks on both my Macs and my iPad match their layout this morning. Muscle memory I guess. Or procrastination…
I wrote a post. First one in a while. It’s about elephants.
Apparently the RSS feed for my Jekyll powered blog isn’t working. That’s a project to fix for the weekend.
Culturedcode added markdown support to the notes field in Things. Since version 3 Things has always felt more like an living document, probably even more so now.
World Elephant Day Is Today
Wednesday, August 11, 2021
This morning I found out that it's world elephant day. It's one of those facts which has stuck in my mind ever since for the simple fact that elephants are my favourite animals. My parents tell the story of when I was small and we went to zoo together for the first time. There was one animal I wanted to see, the elephants, but for little me they were terrifying. I had only ever seen pictures of elephants in books, where the scale of the images didn't communicate to me how big the creatures are in reality.
I’ve found myself working in 2.5 hour bursts today. It’s been much more productive than two larger blocks of focused work. Might try and implement it tomorrow.
New coffee delivery! Looking forward to trying these fun bags ☕️
It’s a big day at work today as school pupils receive their results and get their places at university confirmed. Despite not being on the front line as part of the customer service team, it always feels like the whole business is in it together.
