I like to have a clock on the wall in each room of the house, even though I have an Apple Watch on and carry a phone around in my pocket. Anyone else like me?

Gardening?

Did I do any? Well, I took the garden waste brown bin back into the garden. I moved the bags of compost from the front yard to the back yard. I didn’t do anything else. I’m a wimp and it’s too cold. I’ll get out there at the end of next week, and get the potatoes planted though.

Another Blog

I linked another blog to micro.blog today. It’s a self-hosted domain rather than one, like this, that I purchased through Micro.Blog itself. I had a little jiggery-pokers getting the DNS to propagate and play nicely, but once it settled down it was fine. You can find it at ianbmay.com. I’ll be a bit more political over there, but not a ranting nutcase (I hope). Here, I like to be laid back as much as possible. I’ve linked the other blog to Bluesky, whereas this one links to Mastadon.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder?

Probably not in this case, but I’ve just been getting up very early in the mornings for work and consequently feeling too drained in the afternoons to put fingers to keyboard very much! I haven’t gone away though.

I didn’t have any plans when I got up. However, I’ve been to the corner store for bread, and to Costco for meat and fish, and now to the local pub for a couple of pints and some buffalo wings.

I’ve had the painters in these past ten days. Today he was here but went home around 2 pm. It is Saturday after all! I’ve walked to my local for a couple of pints of Fuller’s ESB, and I’m waiting for my wife to join me, perhaps with a couple of her friends too. I’m not complaining, but that, folks, is an exciting Saturday evening out for me these days.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Been awake since soon after 6 am. Slept well, though, which makes a whole lot of difference to how you feel first thing. Enjoying a large mug of coffee right now.

A Sunny Saturday

It’s been a bright, sunny day here, but it’s cold outside. It was around freezing point first thing this morning, and it’s only crept up to 43°F all day. It won’t get any milder than that now, as sunset is in about an hour at around 5 pm.

Another Grey Day

Thursday, and it’s dry outside, and currently 49°F. The sky looks like it could rain soon, but it’s looked that way since daybreak.

I’ve finally finished sorting out my local audio file library, so that albums will display correctly in Roon. My private journal is up to date, and I’ve had coffee and even some breakfast.

I think I will go and read a book for a while, right after I make myself another mug of coffee.

Wednesday

I am sitting in my living room, and upstairs, and soon, the kitchen is in upheaval as I have ceilings replaced and then painting done. It will be great when it’s all finished, though.
