Right then, off to the garage...
Worst Day Ever
Today has just been the worst day ever and I’m ready for it to fuck right off.
The Wild Robot
A lovely book to read with the kids, or alone. It's a great story, but there are some slightly darker parts.
Today it's monster trucks.
Just sitting down with the kids to watch The NeverEnding Story and this happened...
Me: this was released the year I was born, so it's the same age as me, boys.
Oldest: So it's old fashioned?
Me: Yep
Oldest: So why is there colour then?
😂😂😂 why do kids troll us so much??
One of my favourite #Kirby plugins seems to be abandoned. The default Kirby textarea editor is fine, but this adds some nice quality of life things that I really enjoy.
I wish I had the skills to maintain something like this. I'd love to help. 😞
I've been thinking about getting an activity tracker to, you know, track my activities. But I don't want to wear that, plus a watch. Then I remembered I have an old Garmin (from 2017) in the drawer. Still working great, so I'll use that instead. 🙃
RSS Feed Changes
You've probably seen a load of unread RSS items from my feed, sorry about that. Here's why...

Whenever I've checked Mastodon recently, all I've been seeing are angry posts about Trump, Elon, and now the whole Manton/Vincent vs Adam drama.
For the record, I'm not saying any of it is wrong. I'm just saying I'm sick of reading about how shit the world is. I need a break from it.
I write most post from the notes section of my blog and they're automatically syndicated to Masto. So you'll probably still see posts, but I doubt I'll be active in the replies for a little while.

I've heard a lot of people comment on how good iA Writer is, but it's £50!
Is it really that good?
I heard a great saying recently that I'm 100% going to steal.
"Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one."
How I Do Security Questions
Security questions like 'what is your mother's maiden name?' are so fucking bad. Here's what I do to make them slightly more secure.
Fellas, it's gay to like pop music?
Keenan talks about their love of Toxic by Britney Spears. Great song, great post.
2025 can just fuck right off. I'm at the back end of my second working week of the year which, ironically, is also my second 50+ hour working week.
There's a big yellow thing in the sky that has killed all the snow.
I don't know what it is.
Send help.
I don’t understand services like Instagram and their ilk. They’re photo sharing services, right? But I can share photos here AND write text AND add links. See, I just did both below.
Don’t get it. 🤷♂️
(yes, that is an evil looking chicken)
With all the shit going on at the moment with #WordPress and #Facebook, this is a welcome change.
Love this.

"Quickly switching to the new monitor" has turned into a bit more of a thing. 🤦🏼♂️
Out with the dogs in the fields, kids are sword fighting with some sticks in the background (can you find them?) this is what Sundays are all about.
