  • Something has changed in my Instagram experience with the app offering full access to my camera and microphone that I can’t bypass. This has left me pausing and thinking it’s time to say farewell.

  • As I watch TV and movies I find myself agreeing with this.

  • I’m enjoying reading The Restless Republic about the interregnum between the reigns of the first two King Charles. Some aspects of this old story remind me of the current political situation in Gilead.

  • I noted that the BBC is celebrating 50 years of the TV comedy The Good Life. Quite rightly they are keeping shtoom about another show that has its 50th anniversary this weekend.

  • Decided to cull my podcasts to focus on those I regularly listen to. It’s meant saying goodbye to a few politics and news podcasts. I tried to listen to too many and often these were just people musing out loud.

  • I think I will be removing the Arc browser tonight not out of anger, just because it won’t be maintained further.

    I will be happy using Safari day-to-day, Orion as my second browser.

  • I love this time of year for the opportunity to gorge ourselves on English asparagus. It helps that I still have some of my wild garlic pesto left too.

  • I love that when I get a letter (through the post!) from the Master Animator they include tiny sketches of that day.

  • Me: Olives! Such a lovely grown-up flavour.

    Wife: Not for Maltese people.

  • I’ve done my homework from tonight’s Analog Tools Meetup.

    My EDC.

  • My grownup daughter got me the perfect tee-shirt for Christmas. I find I give off a very different vibe wearing this.

  • I’ve just sent my Leica R8 film camera off to be sold on commission. A little regretful to see it go but it wasn’t my favourite to use and hopefully it will go to someone who loves it more.

    And perhaps that cash will turn into another film camera; perhaps a Contax.

  • Another update to my now page.

  • Over on the big blog, my initial thoughts on the new Ajoto Pocket Pen.

  • Very pleased with this photograph from Vienna.

  • Last of the 2025 wild Scottish garlic pesto just out the food processor. Corra Linn cheese from Lanarkshire along with walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and pistachios.
