Spotted the weirdest cloud I’ve ever seen when driving to the shops yesterday. Never ever seen a square cloud before. Bizarre.

My daughter made me an amazing Father’s Day breakfast this morning, toast with smashed avocado topped with a perfectly poached egg. Worked in the garden this afternoon and my son even helped me, what a day! #feelinglucky #fathersday

Twitterrific 6

Twitterrific 6 launched this week. I’ve used their apps on iPhone, iPad & Mac since, well, forever and I’ve never truly thought about the cost. Until this week. Their new business model made me sit back and think about just how much I‘ve spent on their apps over the years and I realised it simply wasn’t enough. Great software costs and users should pay for it, no questions asked. That’s why I immediately signed up for @Twitterrific ’s annual plan and if you use a Twitter you should too.

Lovely morning in London. Have a great day people!

Had a fantastic walk up Ben Vorlich today with my boy - he bagged his first Munro! Incredible scenery, amazing views and the weather held up too. 😀

With my client office changing location that means a different walking route into the city, which means I get to go past the best darn coffee shop in Bermondsey every morning. Fuel for the day! Happy days. #coffee #fuckoffee #fuckoffeelondon

Sitting outside on a warm-ish spring night, listening to good music and drinking nice wine with your better half… What’s not to like?!

Early morning sunrise from Tower Bridge London. Such a great city.

This is an incredible and almost unbelievable story - fantastic podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Lovingly my new Mac Mini with LG monitor setup.

The iOS Podcast app in iOS 12.2 is really rather good - 3D Touch to mark an episode as played is so intuitive, the app seems to work remarkably well, syncing works reliably between devices (iCloud sync perhaps now?) and the animations are really smooth too. Surprisingly I’m using it more than Overcast or Castro, which is an interesting twist of fate. All it needs is dark mode and I’m all in (which im assuming will come in iOS 13).

Upgraded to the $10 a month micro.blog plan so I can a) support the great work @manton and team do, and b) post short video and audio bits & bobs… (you have been warned!).

Cold beer with/for lunch. Don’t mind if I do.
