Doing some writing to this absolute beauty of a soundtrack. Killer Klowns From Outer Space

Had a delicious veggie quiche this evening. I live a dangerous and thought-provoking life, I really do. 🌱

I need more silliness in my social-media feeds.

My back is feeling a little better. Started my walk with the dogs and feared I’d made a terrible mistake, but slowly the pain and discomfort eased up and while it’s still tender, it feels much improved.

My back has seized up. Not a fan of middle-age, walking like I have a stick clenched ‘twixt my bum-cheeks. 🍑

Watched the first episode of Time Bandits yesterday and enjoyed it. Knowing it’s now been cancelled doesn’t exactly fill me with a desire to fully immerse myself. 📺

Finished reading: Where the Dark Stands Still by A. B. Poranek 📚🎧

I’ve also set up another blog that I plan on using to show how I use Apple native apps and Ulysses to plan my writing. 💻

Right then. Now I’m back using Micro.blog as my primary hub, I’ll spend a few hours tomorrow making sure everything is up to date (reading list, etc). 😐💻

Such a beautiful serial is Fang Rock. Four is great, Leela hilarious, and the supporting cast play it beautifully. 📺

Watching Doctor Who ‘Horror of Fang Rock’. 📺

Cross-posting to Threads is now working for me, thanks for all the help Micro.blog.

The Double Tap gesture on Apple Watch 10 is beautiful. 💻

Might grow my beard long for the winter.

I don’t know why I keep drifting away from Micro.blog, the drama never takes long to unfold elsewhere. I look back at this place and appreciate the gentle unabashed geekiness (a compliment).

My AirPods Pro have give up the ghost.

Hibernation mode is kicking in. Putting on the chunk ahead of what’s likely to be a cold, hard, winter.

Does anyone else still use Apple Journal and are you also having issues since iOS 18? Mine won’t show Podcasts in ‘recents’. Generally it had ‘Morning Walk while Listening to…’, but since the update it’s totally unreliable. Music wasn’t showing for a little while, it’s suggesting time at home as a ‘visit’. 💻

Some photos of my dogs. 🐕

Leela the terrier relaxes on a picnic table in glorious sunshine.  Shane the Lurcher smiles a big daft grin. Leela the terrier relaxes on a picnic table in glorious sunshine. She is grinning. Shane the Lurcher sleeps.
