Day off today. I didn’t wake up until almost six. Been to the kitchen to brew the first mugs of the day. Back to bed for a short while to read and decide what to do today.

So iOS 27 is here. First impressions from this first beta? So far, it seems stable. There’s an enhanced Siri, on certain devices, but there’s a waitlist to join. Transparency in Liquid Glass is easily changed with a slider.

It’s good mood time! 4.30pm. I’m home, at my computer desk with a pint of London Pride, and I have two days off work now.

How do you and your partner see each other?

I remember writing the date in my school book: 6/6/66. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge in those sixty years!

My wife has a day off today. I was working, and up at 4 am. She messaged to say that she had been in the garden and mowed the lawn. I had said I would get her to help me with it when I got home. I usually mow, and she rakes up. I’m not complaining, though!

4 am. Another day starts. Making coffee.

It’s 6.30 pm. My wife is home late from work yet again because they take the piss. Anyway, once she gets home, it’ll be time to eat, then time for bed, as I have a 3.45 am alarm.

There’s always talk about Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube Music and so on, but does anyone use MixCloud? I find some cool stuff in there.

I’ve been slacking. With blogging. Work has got in the way. Right now, I’m making dinner. My wife will be home soon , and then I’ll have another early night, as I’m up at 5 am. Still I will soon make amends

A Day in the Life: From Blood Tests to Costco Runs

I was awake at six. Went out with my wife. She went to work. I went to the hospital for a blood test. Then a bus to a coffee shop. Priorities! Then another bus to Costco. Waiting outside for them to open at 10:00.  Well, half an hour and £260 later, Costco shopping is done. Waiting for Uber now, as too much to get on the bus! When I got home, it took me much longer to portion the meat for the…

When I got home, it took me much longer to sort the meat into portions for the two of us. Still, we have enough meat for 44 days. I also got yoghurt and cheese. I do prefer cheese from the cheesemongers, but the Costco stuff is better than regular supermarket stuff, and good enough for my sandwiches for work. Now, I think I might have a stroll to the pub for a couple of pints. I need to check when Amazon is arriving first, though. It’s Subscribe & Save Delivery Day.

Staying Productive at Home: Bedding, Tech, and Gardening

We did consider going out today, but then we changed our minds and decided to stay at home and get some jobs done. It’s bedding day today. Everything. Bottom sheet, pillowcases, duvet, mattress protector, the whole nine yards. We’ve ordered some new pillows too, and thrown away some old ones. On the computer front, I’ve bought a new monitor. My old Widescreen ASUS still works fine, but I’ve had…

I got in from work at 2.15 pm. I watered the garden, made a lamb stew from scratch, cleaned the kitchen, put all the rubbish out for the dustmen tomorrow, took a shower, and paid some bills. THEN I opened a beer and sat down. It was 3.25 pm. You can get a lot done when you put your mind to it.

I got some watering done early, as it’s the best time to do it, and also it’s a job done. Alternatively, watering late in the evening is second best.

Here are some strawberries with one of our rose bushes, and grow bags containing four different varieties of potatoes.
