So 26.3 is out. So I shall spend the next hour updating all the devices here. M4 Pro Mac Mini, M3 MacBook Air, two M1 iPad Pros , two Apple watches, two Apple TVs, four iPhones.

I got a doctor’s note today. I have seen my surgeon for a post-operative follow up and everything is healing as it should, but I still have some discomfort when turning my head, and I don’t want to undo any of the healing process. My doctor has given me another three weeks off work, so I will use this time to get slowly back into things. I feel fine in myself, except for the head-turning, but that is getting better as each day passes.

I decided to go out for a walk, and take some photographs.

As I was near to the Queen’s Head, my local pub, I thought it would be rude if I didn’t call in for a pint or two.

The Fuller’s ESB is always in top condition, and today was no exception.

I was up with Kathy around 6.30 am. I have to go to the hospital this morning for a follow-up for my partial thyroidectomy. It seems to be healing up nicely, although it’s still uncomfortable when I turn my head too much.

I was awake early, as is often the case, but, after making a coffee around 5.30 am, I went back to bed and chilled for a while. I dozed off for a few more minutes before finally getting up around 8.30 am.

My brother and partner are staying with us right now. They got up and headed out around 9.30 am, and my wife and I are having a relaxing day with some coffee and music.

It’s a bit of a laid-back day for me today. Kathy went off to work soon after 7 am. I had a short lie-in and got up around 7.45 am. I’ve made coffee, waded through emails, and am about to get some journaling done.

There is way too much drivel written about politics and politicians. It should be about policy, not personality. Thing is, unfortunately the squeakiest wheel gets the most grease, every single time.

Sir Kier Starmer is an example.

The media mutters that Kier Starmer is ’never here’. I don’t hear the same comments about Farage, who is always busy across the pond eating Trump’s shit for breakfast. Then, commenting on how Kier Starmer walks. Hang on, did he comb his hair this morning? Do his socks match?

Find something constructive to discuss, and stop being so bloody pathetic.

This morning, I had to pop into work and let them know about my post-op recovery and when I am likely to be back to work.

I went to the pharmacy first and picked up the meds I had sent to the doctor’s surgery on Monday. Once I had got those, I then took a bus downtown and went to work. I had a chat with quite a few of my colleagues, before getting the formal stuff out of the way, and a bit more chatting afterwards too.

I went into a local charity shop and got some CDs for a quid or so each. There were two multi-CD collections. One had a CD missing, and the other had an extra CD!

I then took a bus towards home and dropped into the local pub for a couple of pints and a burger. I did a little writing when I got to the pub.

it’s been one of those days. It’s really done nothing but rain all day and it’s a little windy too, which made it unpleasant. I didn’t need to go out.

So I didn’t I stayed indoors all day and I think that was a wise decision. So I didn’t I stayed indoors all day and I think that was a wise decision.
