Got the bed of veggies going for the roast, potatoes, carrots and parsnips are peeled and ready, Yorkshire pudding mix is chilling in the fridge, some tunes on in the background and the coffee is brewing.

Just another chill Sunday afternoon.

Docker Desktop is killing my Mac today. Multiple updates/restarts have failed and two re-installs of it are not working either. Going for a clean uninstall and install next.

Geeking out tonight with a live concert viewing of Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse.

A reminder from Nicholas Bate to re-set your personal compass.

Cracking afternoon of golf with the wee guy.

Still blue skies, the slightest hint of a nip in the air, and the changing colours on the trees.

Love golfing during this time of year.

Watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife tonight. I thought it was great. Nice touch at the end.

Can anyone recommend some resources on getting setup with Obsidian? I’m thinking plugins, themes and organising it. It will primarily be a place for me to organise some notes and perhaps some writing.

Cracking day at Edinburgh Castle with the family! Still a great place to visit. I would have liked less crowds there to get a chance to get a few more interesting pictures, but can’t argue with its popularity.

Heading over to Edinburgh today. Planning to visit the castle, Camera Obscura and wander a bit round the old town.

I am looking forward to some time off next week. No big plans, just see what each day brings.

Giving Omnivore a go as a read-it-later service after seeing it mentioned on Micro.blog. Like what I see so far.

Messing about with a new Rails 7.1 app this morning. My first time running with the import maps option for handling JavaScript.

Stacking projects is a nice new feature in Basecamp. You can stack projects together much like you would bits of paper. They then expand out when you click the stack. Nice!

Finding people who I used to follow on Twitter has led me to following a couple of people on Threads. While Threads is not my first choice, it’s definitely, for me, less toxic than Twitter has become.

Just went through the remainder of my tweets on Twitter and deleted them.

My account will remain there but only to follow those people that I can’t find elsewhere.

I’m pretty much a passenger now on the platform. It’s value as a platform as significantly diminished for me.

A consistent nights sleep continues to evade me. Third day in a row I’ve been awake since around 2:30am. I usually find myself having at least a few sleepless nights a week like this but three nights in a row is a new record. And not a good one! 🥱

What a Ryder Cup that was! Amazing golf played from start to finish. Team Europe playing brilliantly and glad to see MacIntyre walk away with a win on the final day! 🇪🇺🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Upgrading my Air to Sonoma. Not having paid much attention to the Sonoma changes outlined a few weeks ago, I have no idea what will change!

📸 day 26 / beverage #mbsept

Early start this morning.

The big yin’s office for the day as he prepares for the Scottish Junior Team Championship tomorrow.

📸 day 21 / fall #mbsept

That little hint in the garden that fall is here. And yes, I prefer using fall to autumn.

Updated to iOS 17. Anyone know when the Journal app will be available?
