Micro.blog seems like the right place to ask about cable management (filth!). Despite being a small space, my writing area is getting untidy looking with cables and it’s doing my head in. 💻

It’s incredibly warm again.

Safari bookmarks sorting, take two.

Well I finally got all my Apple devices syncing in Safari, but lost a load of research and ideas that were on my iPad. I swapped from Google WiFi to Sky and they synced almost immediately after restarts and suchlike. Gutted about the deleted stuff, but will check iCloud to see if they’re there. 💻

I tried to get clever with Focus modes and ended up overcomplicating matters, missing calls from a number I didn’t allow access, but not seeing the attempted contact until later. Will have to have a rethink (and any advice is welcomed). 💻

The most recent iOS beta update is glitchy as flip!

Sky News got Josh Gates, someone I admire greatly, on to talk about the missing sub.

I’ve tried every bit of advice to try and get my Safari reading list and bookmarks to sync, but have now given up. iPad Mini refuses to sync with iPhone and MacBook, the latter two maintaining the same saved information and the Mini refusing to share. I have the majority of info on the Mini. 💻

Took my son to McDonald’s after his dental appointment, bought my usual double McPlant meal. My stomach has been in knots since, I’m putting it down to getting older and my constitution being weaker these days. Feel rotten.

Storms and Stuff.

The day started with another power cut (I’m boring myself now, too) and at the time of writing the double espresso I consumed this afternoon is causing havoc with my nerves. My lack of willpower with junk food is hampering any chance of regaining my pre-lockdown weight, but aside from all that I’m doing alright. Can’t do anything about the weather, rarely have espressos and will probably avoid in future and my weight is in my own hands. I don’t like carrying extra weight, it makes me sluggish and unhappy, so I just need to regain that same mindset that benefitted me before.

It’s a power cut, again…

Alright weather, we get it. You’re in a rainy mood.

While this is an awful and traumatic story, I find stuff like this fascinating. Woman who knocked on coffin at her own funeral dies.

Another power cut last night, which is why I was so late responding to people. Stayed in the living room with my lurcher for a while as my he was petrified, but woke to see his slobbering face beaming over mine - so gave him a kiss and came to bed. Power came back on at 2am or so.

Will it be palatable? Will it taste like it’s been filtered through a tramp’s sock? Roll up, it’s alcohol free beer bingo! 🍺

A silver can of Asahi 0% beer sits unopened on a brown table.

Getting a few glitches now on the devices iOS17 is installed. Trying to sort out Focus modes and it’s all over the place.

One minute you’re taking your boy to Dublin so he can cheer on John Cena at a WWE event, the next he’s off to the same city with friends to watch a rap concert. I might raise my waistband another inch or two.

Wowsers.

Another storm on the way. 🌩️
