Well, It’s Tuesday. That means it’s not Monday, although, really, every day seems much the same sometimes. After today, there is just tomorrow to do, and then I have a four day break, which I always look forward to.

It’s a mundane Monday morning. Grey, damp, dreary, depressing. Quiet at work though. I am done at three, so hoping the quiet continues.

Bloody typical! Working all weekend, and the weather is really nice now. Currently 67°F (19°C), a real gorgeous blue sky day.

It’s a working weekend which sucks, but someone has to do it. At least it’s sensible hours.

Another day done. I got home and prepared some dinner. Jacket potatoes in a very slow oven, lamb chops to go in with them later. Had a shower, shave and all that good stuff. I HAVE to get out of work clothes when I get home, or I’m not comfortable.

My second day off. Back to the salt mine tomorrow. Indoors today, as I’m waiting for a DPD delivery - a new Apple Watch - and I have a telephone appointment with my IBD team this afternoon. At least I don’t need to trek to the hospital.

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?
