Oooh gosh it's really about time I updated this.

I'm alright. Life is full! Sometimes I am very tired. I remain hopeful about and thankful for everything.

Hi CSS Day!

Just come out of what has felt like a long period of constant low level stress.

Kidding, it's still there. Just not as urgent and noisy as it was! And the sun is shining.

B-b-b-b-b---b-b-b-r-r-r-rrr-r-rrr shivers

It's autumn. Or fall, because leaves fall down. Either way it's cosy 🧡

It's spoopy time!

I am finding many different ways to be confused, lately.

Hitting some kind of stride. I think. Maybe. Maybe it's because spring is in the air..

What is this... code? props? functions? Oh my...

It's still Christmas for as long as we keep the tree

We're in Covid Land again. Yay.

Feeling slowly rather festive - the snow helps!

Can I go into hibernation now please?

I've not even had my autumn birthday yet but I'm feeling very festive

I have Monday Brain.

Had a holiday. Had one day back at work. Getting my head back into gear - I think the cogs need some oil

Work has felt like super complicated spaghetti lately! I need a holiday...

Enjoying a bout of contentment

⛈️☀️🌦️ Weather. Lots of weather. Hot.

CSS CSS CSS! Joy! Lol.

Rolling my poorly foot on a ball. Been sore since January. Plantar fasciitis can do one.

I am one size up from default smartphone font size years old

My new little basic site has hatched!

It is very not finished and will remain a playground/under construction/work in progress for some time, but you can see it anyway at

It begins - website refactor time. Project minimalism is a-go. No deadline, no rush :)

Very tempted to make a stripped down version of my website.

The rollercoaster of impostor syndrome.

My youngest keeps singing happy birthday to me. It's not until November. Shh boy, I'm not really in a rush to get to 40!

Feeling a bit slow lately.

But maybe I'm just working on things that take their sweet time.

Change is good. Even this Sarasaurus can learn new tricks.

Hiyay it's Friyay!

Note to self: Next time I bake, drop some cake batter into a couple of cupcake cases so I don't have to wait to try it 🤤

Making a complete pig's ear in git today. Have fixed it all now, but oof.

Amazing what adding a square or two of dark chocolate can do for a chilli con carne 😋

Rainy weekend - lots of cartoons :)

ARRR, back to work!

I'm. So. Tired.

A week off work for family time ❤️

The rule for wearing masks on public transport has been dropped here since yesterday.

It's 50:50ish masked:unmasked today. I'm wearing mine and will continue to do so.

Not me: Refreshing my new guestbook, as if I don't get email alerts and moderate each post myself..

Mondays are so much nicer when you like your job 🧑‍💻

A Friday off work, whoop! Happy weekend everyone :)

Looking up Eisstockschießen... Like curling but not?

Feeling very supported and happy at work.

I'm so happy I keep putting undue pressure on myself not to screw it up!

Come on toddler, what happened to that sleeping-through thing. You had it down.

As a parent of small children, weekend != restful - but it's nice to have more snuggles

Come on brain, you can do it... 🤯

Back to work

Still getting a very strong positive line on covid tests - but feeling better 😷

Covid finally got me. I'm so tired.

Bye Gmail, hi Fastmail!

Friyay! But also, need more sleep..

Getting back into coding flow :)

Running on coffee fumes.

Confused, but happy!
