It’s Craney…

My son is doing great work in Japan and has now acquired me the holy trifecta of konbini socks (7-Eleven socks were already gained in Vietnam). 🧦 🧦 🧦 😊

My exciting thing came! Now to start the setup! 😊

Sat waiting for our carpet fitter to arrive in a bit now to lay the new carpet in the bedroom.  Doing some general house tidying beforehand. Might be getting a...

🔨Yet another busy week! Decorations continue. Plastering is done. We had fun1 installing some new skirting board where the fitted wardrobes used to be and we needed to get this done before our carpet gets delivered next week. Thankfully that’s all sorted now. Plaster is nearly dry now, so we’re going to hopefully start painting the undercoat middle of this week. Colourscheme is TBD. We’re thinking some sort of light sage green? Maybe…? If you have ideas or good sights for interior decorating/...

1 bedroom 100% emptied and ready for total re-plaster, new carpet and new furniture.

Ah yes, shit I bought in my 20’s and thought was super cool that I now just rediscover as we redecorate and think “what the fuck am I gonna do...

Bank holiday Monday 🤘 Today’s plan 👇 ✔ Empty the bedroom completely for replastering tomorrow. ✔ Work on some blog posts and techy organisational things (I haven’t forgotten about you...

I read about the Charmera on Petapixels and immediately rushed off to get one. It was just too cute to resist having one for my ever growing collection of little technical tchotchke‘s on my shelves around my computer desk. It’s a collection of “blind box” or Gashapon styles that replicate some classic Kodak cameras from throughout the ages. Amazingly, I got the exact one I wanted! That classic Kodak yellow 😍  That red one is pretty nice as well. You can see what they all look like on the offi...

🥖 My wife is making sourdough again and I’m here for it 😋 ⌛Well it’s been a couple of weeks since my last update! Things have been busy but not in an “Interesting and fun stuff to write about way” just the daily machinations of work and home stuff keeping us busy. So I haven’t really been compelled to write much of anything last week.

Because Apple make it so hard to use their peripherals with multiple devices I’m currently using my magic touchpad with my iPad when docked meaning my MacBook uses a Magic...

🍊🍺 Oh my god, I think I might have found one of my favourite beers of all time. Vault City knocked it out of the park with their mini egg stout...

Beautiful light this evening. Sunshine, long shadows and pastel skies.

🤘4 day weekend!  🩸 Donated blood today and my iron level was good! 😊  🍔 Been practicing making home made smash burgers and I’m really dialling in my technique! (Which...

First time in 5+ years I’ve had to wear a suit. I am ready for our evening event (kinda wish I was in my PJ’s under a blanket though 😂)....

Gig rowers 🚣

Gym done! 🏋 Now it’s time to listen to podcasts in the bath (which is made of 50% water 50% bubble bath btw)  😌 🛁 And day off tomorrow 😎

Light at the end of the tunnel

A week with some sad news and reflection, busy work and recalibration. ♥ First thing I have to mention is the tragic loss of Michael Borland. We would talk on social.lol about Tech/Mac stuff, Productivity, LEGO, having a blog as well as life in general. I never met him. Never even heard his voice, but it was a pleasure every time I had a conversation over Mastodon with him.  I use his icons for Bullet Journaling in my own work journal and he’d just encouraged me to start looking into if Johnn...

Did I make this turkey bacon, low fat cream cheese and scrambled egg everything bagel myself? Yes! Did I wrap it in paper and cut it in half so it...

I was feeling a bit down this morning. A trip to the gym and a walk in the sunshine has sorted me out 🚶🏋 I have spent way too much...

Best game I’ve played this year so far. loved every moment of it. The Yin/Yang of sneaking around and counting every bullet as Grace to being the absolute zombie murdering...

I have no need for this but wow what a beautiful object 😍 Casio S100X
