Technology doesn’t need my stupidity to help confound. I gave it a good go today in a moment of laziness.

I spoke too soon. If my MacBook was a dog, it would be sent to ‘live on a farm’ in the very near future.

Despite significant improvements with my MacBook since a total reset, it’s still a little laggy.

Might spend tomorrow morning sorting the spaghettified cables in my computer area. My MacBook Pro is truly banjaxed, so I’ll have to save up for a new computer (planning on a Mac Mini).

Get. IN!!!!

So if Burnley win tonight, we’re promoted back to the Premier League. Come on you Clarets!

The older I get, the crankier I get about selfishness and rule-breaking. I am morphing into my hero Victor Meldrew.

Then factor in messages on my watch I just ignore. Things have improved massively since I’ve culled applications and email subscriptions. My Apple Watch no longer annoys me, the few pings I get are messages I actually want to know about.

I’m trying to cut down on the amount of electronic clutter I receive. It’s insane how many emails I subscribe to that I don’t actually read.

Pretty gutted about Paul O’Grady’s passing. Dog people are my people.

My cancelling of apps and seeing how I get on within the Apple ecosystem is nowhere near as traumatic as I thought it would be.

Synth pop perfection. The song that convinced Vince Clarke to go full on synthesiser. Almost - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Going to spend the weekend trying to make my Apple Watch less annoying. I exercise every day, be it a walk or (in the past anyway) a run a few times a week. I walked without tracking in the past, but feel I have to track now. That’s how Apple get you, isn’t it? 🖥️

Has anyone here stopped wearing an Apple Watch and gone back to a regular time telling only device? Any regrets?

Hey email really is beautiful, though. 😍

As much as I love Hey email, I’m not sure I can justify paying for it. I’m not a businessman and most of my emails are newsletters and receipts. My subscription is up in August/September so I plan on spending the next few months unsubscribing and refining.

I put on a stack of weight after the initial lockdown, like many. Realised I’ve dipped in to bad eating habits again, namely throwing meals down my neck and not chewing properly. I need to remember to eat mindfully again.
