Why Did You Do It by Stretch

Waiting “up to 5 days” for a domain to transition is the new cheque clearing queue…

Finallly made the switch over to a hosted blog. Micro blog to follow.

I apologise Micro.blog. It has been many weeks since my last submission.

After eating more than my fair share of fudge I really don’t feel so well…

The only thing worse than sites which disable paste for the email address field is those asking to “confirm your email address”.

The UK will spend more time debating the expansion of Heathrow than on uncertainty and chaos of Brexit

The clematis has flowered for summer 2018.

Poor poor show from Microsoft on iOS, particularly in the login to OneDrive. Maybe the “White Screen of Death” will catch on.

My bank, ever efficient, has written to me by postal mail (6 double sided pages to be precise) to advise me that our complimentary travel insurance will auto-renew next month, with £0.00 costs. Such a waste of paper, time and effort.

Fell into the Twitter swamp again.

Note to self: Don’t watch BBC Question Time with Twitter open.

I’m so enjoying re-watching Dire Straits Alchemy Live, recorded from Sky Arts a few weeks ago. I can still remember getting hold of an audio tape (bootleg-of-a-bootleg-of…) one lunch hour in ‘86 or ‘87, bought the CD when I had my first CD player, and I reckon I know every note. So it’s awesome to see them in on-stage, even if the lighting is terrible. Found the BlueRay on Amazon.

Hoping from something worthwhile in terms of Mac hardware from WWDC in 2 weeks, with MrsP hopefully treating me to a new MacBook something? for my upcoming birthday.

We spent the first few years buying plants, trees and soil home to transform our small space it a real garden. But 10 years later I feel like all we’re going to be doing now is hacking through the undergrowth, removing roots, stems and branches.

Looking up hotel website with an animated hourglass as it loads! What is it loading that takes this long?

The thud you can hear is my head hitting the desk in disbelief. Wow thanks Brexit. Cause competing in high-tech economy isn’t difficult enough.

If I still opened Tweetbot as much as I used to then I’d be setting Mute Filters:

  • windsor

Patrick Melrose ★★★★

Benedict Cumberbatch ★★★★★

Unbelievable performance and very enjoyable 1st episode.

Definitely worth a watch, although I’d not recommend trying to match Patrick drink for drink!

Working with the Spark Mac app feels more like a game of mortal combat, me against the software, that a utility. The Smart Inbox is anything but.

It’s so great to be able to eat dinner outside on the decking. That was such a long Autumn/Fall, Winter and Spring.

Someone must think that this is a perfectly normal thing to sell in a local supermarket

After 2 weeks of work, work and more work, I’m still suffering from a bit of writers block for the blog. I need to dis-engage and switch off, and then switch on here…

After debating (with myself) about my ancient version of Lightroom I might have reached a solution, if temporary. I’ve installed macOS 10.12 and Lightroom on an external SSD, if only for photo management.

Someone’s graffiti’d “THE EARTH IS FLAT” on a billboard off the side of the Motorway. Clearly never heard of Eratosthenes, Christopher Columbus, round the world cruises, air travel, NASA, telecommunications satellites…

Finally landed back to Earth after more than a week with near 100% focus on one deadline. Feels like much longer since my last blog post.
