I’ve been thinking over addictive personality. A side to this is my unwillingness to give up, even just to give up and go to sleep.

However enough is enough. At least for today. I have to get up in 6 hours, so any later and I really will regret it.

What’s the best alternatives to Lightroom? ( @johnholzer @jack ?) I’ve been using an inherited copy of Lightroom 3 for 3-4 years and it’s looking like I’ll have to upgrade or move to something else as I update macOS (from 10.12)

My Micro-Monday recommendation is for @JohnPhilpin.

John mixes short, memorable posts,

“I should have coffee before I try to make coffee”

with replies which test push the term micro-blog to the limit, but worth every moment of your time.

No indication of which app has failed or the potential solution.

Just seen a commercial for body shaving products for men. Speechless 😶

Tired today.

I’m regretting getting my “Net-Fix” from a certain streaming service last night. Never a good idea to open Netflix after 10pm.

Ouch. That’s embarrassing. That’s gonna take a while to get over but we’ve all been there.

I think in addition to the fabulous Micro-Monday we need a Food Friday (hint hint @Manton). In order of FF I present slow cooked Beef Dopiaza, skilfully prepared by my better half.

Only the left AirPod is working. So there’s another thing to fix/replace.

Airline Staff: ”Can you check that your bag fits in here?”

Me: “No, it doesn’t.”

”Thank you sir, we’ll just check into the hold for you”

(Wow. Thank you so much. I may never see it again.)

Board the plane and there are bags 2x the size in the massive overhead luggage bins.

Spring has finally arrived. Evening bird song, and an active conversation…

Tried to share photos taken on my SLR with my father, knowing that we used to use Flickr (when it was a thing) but its painful to use by modern standards. And even with the album set for anyone he still couldn’t view them. Switched to Dropbox file sharing.

I started with Micro.blog to post micro blogs but I think that my ratio of new posts compared to replying to posts is at least 5:1 in favour of reply’s.

Insomnia is a bitch. I have been burning the candle at both ends (and in the middle) for too long. Hopefully will sleep tonight.

Do More.

“Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying”

I’m a master of procrastination, and seeking perfection. Actively preferring inaction over an ill-judged hasty reaction.

So I’ll defer a little hear and there. Move things to later this afternoon. Later tomorrow. Later next week.

Now while I can’t do literally everything right now, today, I can at least strive to do what I Can Do rather than what deliberate over what I Can’t Do or Should Do now. Easier said than done when I have so much on my plate. But there is so much I put off till a rainy day, when it’s raining.

So this is my plan for Q2-18.

Let’s see how this goes. Maybe somethings can become new habits.

That moment when you realise your phone is full of photos of a small, white¹ dog.

What’s the best domain?

Surname? First Name?

Both First Name & Surname?

Or something else you like?

So I can add basic plumbing to my CV. Very basic, but enough for tonight thankfully.

My Micro-Monday recommendation is for @teisam

After a few days of amazing discussion with fellow micro-bloggers it’s difficult to make a Micro Monday suggestion. But thanks to @teisam for diagnosing the solution to my problems with Wordpress. Others will be on future Mondays.

Snowing again. Happy Easter.

Dear Derek

This is from your past self. You know, the one feeling a bit under the weather after a day out with a bottle of wine and some cocktails.

I’m sorry to break it to you, but you’re not actually James Bond or Tony Stark or anyone else who can knock em back and still look cool. No you just look like everybody else.

You are not James or Tony. You really can’t take that much or look fresh the following day. Quite the opposite.

So next time please remember this day before you order yet another round of drinks. Tsk tsk.

Derek

Yesterday was a good day however I’m paying for it today…

Anything said today should be considered inadmissible in Court.
