Just saved money booking a hotel on my iPad mini where it was £100 cheaper than on my Mac. Insane!

A shopper in Sainsbury's this evening checked out her shop then headed to the food bank drop-off to help herself to a box of tea and a bag of rice.

Waking up slowly this morning

Bagged-salad connoisseur and all-round bonne vivante Mrs Moorhen rates Marks and Spencer Watercress, Pea Shoots and Sorrel salad: "Not crispy. Slimy. Do not buy. No stars".

In a paralysis of choice with to many things to do.

I’m in hospital this afternoon and the nurses are singing. They can’t sing very well, but it’s nice that they are.

Rarely for me, I’m getting through my todo list this morning.

I've found my coot-toot

I'm overthinking things

I have Covid and I'm running out of steam

So this is how moving fast and breaking things feels.

Time is running out...

I'm giving something a test. Excuse the noise in the timeline.

Peckish.

Sending good vibrations

Ooh! Ikea SOMRIG shortcut buttons finally available in the UK! Out of stock in the Greenwich store though.

Faffing with the social medias again.

And of course the Overground isn’t running this morning

Cooking cabbage and carrots in left-over NYE champagne

Haven't said - but should have - absolutely great Christmas presents from family this year.

Up early.

It’s snowing in Canning Town.

Held in a queue.

Troubleshooting something

No way neoliberals are going to colonise space. No way.

The glacier is advancing in the refrigerator

Aches and pains.

Very enjoyable lunch with family at the ever-reliable Marcella in Deptford

I'm improvising in the kitchen.

Please top the fireworks. The pigeons are terrified.

I am wondering about the insufferable arrogance of the comfortable bag people on overcrowded public transport. How do people with that much sense of entitlement actually function day to day?

Wet

Me taps payment terminal in M&S foodhall AI: A shopping trolley emoji paid £30.67 in Marks and Spencer

Very low level of pigeons (actually none) at Napoli Centrale this morning.

Today's secret ingredient: panch phoron. Try it with cabbage-type vegetables: cabbages, kales, spring greens, broccoli, sprouts.

Noticing how much food advertises how little nutrition it contains

Hot and sticky

Overground. Of course it’s delayed. Silly me.

I would like to try a timeline where no one ever tapped “for PSL early access”

I like Marugame Udon - the food is tasty and good value, but oh dear the branch Spitalfields is really dirty today.

The problem with giving 110% is heat dissipation.

It's bucketing down. The pigeons on the balcony are studying the rain intently.

Skeeeeek! Something has destabilised the local parakeets this morning.

Caek!

The pigeons are massing on the rooftop opposite

Reorganising all the gadget bags.

So many out of order signs I’m getting me a pack of “bang” stickers.

Why do I worry about keycaps?

So. Friday night. Sorting pens.

Riding the pride train this morning.

Getting ready for a picnic before it gets too hot.

Naples. Cooler than London.

The warm weather is welcome. But I’m glad to be getting out of London!

Ready to hit the hay and it’s not yet dinner time!

Been listening to too much electronica. It's time for Raï

The warblers are at their wild improv down by the Lea this evening

No hot water this morning.

Going for a picnic

Lovely morning. Looking forward to a walk along the river.

Today feels like a good day

Beaking

Crowning

Working. With difficulty.

Day two of "can't sleep".

Almost home and I realise I’ve forgotten the sorrel

It’s a crisp morning for late April.

It’s been a week!

I’m walking to Hackney

I am investigating

I'm temporarily stymied, so strategising

I’m on the Hen Star

I am descaling the coffee machine

I am transgressing

It’s architects vs pigeons at Canning Town Station. The pigeons are still winning

Feels like Friday

I’m lost for words

I'm tidying up.

Very nice lunch at Marcella, Deptford High Street

Heron Keys to Island Gardens on the DLR. Well worth the price of the fare.

I’m wet.

I’m finding public transport mentally challenging this morning

I’m ordering pizza

Can’t shake the dust out of the eyes this morning.

Early coffee. Bad dreams last night.

I’m working the weekend.

I feel like I never left the Hackney Office. It should be Saturday!

I'm leaving the Hackney Office

I'm at the Hackney Office

I'm eating a bowl of fruit

I’m feeding the birds.

I’m wrestling with smart home devices

I’m suffering a technical glitch

I'm leaving the Hackney Office

I'm at the Hackney Office

I'm leaving the Hackney Office

I'm at the Hackney Office

The train is full this morning.

I’m reviving tired greens with chilli, garlic, shallots, and scallion and ginger Chinese cooking wine. Wish me luck.

I'm leaving the Hackney Office

I'm at the Hackney Office

Apparently there isn’t a coot emoji. Seems like a serious oversight. They don’t like it if you call them ducks.

Like my smart home, my “socials” are a work in progress. I never have spare time in large enough chunks to sort it all out.

Umbrella weather this morning. Avoided the street-side shower on Manor Road and took the tube. They judder along in the rain.

I’m baaack!

I'm leaving the Hackney Office

I'm at the Hackney Office

It’s snowing in Canning Town

I’m taking a detour

I'm leaving the Whitechapel Office

I'm at the Whitechapel Office

I’m cleaning the balcony.

Sad. The little squabs on the balcony didn’t make it and died overnight.

I'm leaving the Canning Town Office

I'm at the Canning Town Office

If I don’t get coffee soon I’ll be hiding under the desk humming tunelessly.

I'm at the Hackney Office

Need another coffee!

Playing with something new when I should be going to bed

In at the last minute, this week's award for best autocorrect in an email:

"Refurl" for "Referral"

I am trying Arc browser. Maybe it will grow on me

Have done something against my better judgment.

Two double espressos and it’s not even 8am.

Really feeling under the weather this morning. But it's not Covid-19.

Sneezing uncontrollably. Last time that happened, turned out I had Covid-19. Going to bed now. Will take a test before work in the morning.

I am in the matrix

Hah! Kindle has crashed. Too much left-wing thought to process.

I’m bouncing back!

Sorry for all the noise. Was trying a few things out.

I'm playing with APIs.

On my way to Star Lane.

I’m on my way home.

I’m taking a detour

I wonder what actually goes on at the Habbot Sports bar and restaurant. It’s always empty and there isn’t the steady stream of Deliveroo riders.

I’m crossing Vicky Park

Spent far too long minor-tweaking my /now page

Hating web UIs that lose all your input if you accidently click just outside the flyout.

Brr. It’s got cold again.

I am doing things in the wrong order today. I must have got out of the turnstile on the wrong side this morning.

Have a sore wrist, so learning to hold my phone in my right hand.

It’s a three espressos, one oat milk cappuccino kind of Friday.

Next meeting put back 15 minutes - so I get a "lunch break". Hooray!

In this weather I’m either underdressed or overdressed. Can’t get into the Goldilocks zone.

Aah, Hackney. The jackass meter just exploded

Getting ready for work. Foggy and frosty this morning. Yay!

The fog is lifting, and it's shaping up for a sunny afternoon

Thinking about cooking dinner. My shoulder is stiff so I’m procrastinating a bit.

I’m cleaning up the terrace

I'm stitching all the things

I'm coalescing.

Mmm. Red bush chai. Delicious.

Here's me with a lot of annoyances with LaunchBar - but I still use it because it's empowering, and it's the least worst.

More people should watch “Trading Places” and grok its central premise

Have you ever stopped and watched birds in flight? I mean really looked? Amazing.

Hoofing it to Hackney

Well. I’m up.

I’m posting from status.log!

I've got a tickly throat

I’m thinking about another coffee

Struggling to update my journal tonight. It's been a long week.

Now I can measure it, I'm thinking about humidity.

Emails, journal, then bed

I'm paying my taxes

The Fifth Element is the best film ever made. I will not be taking questions.

I'm cooking Chinese food

I'm gradually edging Twitter out of my life.

I have cold feet.

Getting ready to brave the cold evening for a post-work walk.

Testing negative on a lateral flow.

Stuffed - had a bit too much lunch!

I definitely need a coffee

I'm wondering what I am doing

(Testing) I'm working at the Hackney Office today

I'm cleaning up Microsoft's mess.

It's late an I'm automating

I'm working in Hackney today. Clear skies, sun is shining.

Just as I was finishing up, I received a stainless steel ChromeOS camping mug. Not sure why it got sent - but it's a nice mug.

... and I'm out of vegan mayo

Making lunch - chips and mushy peas.

Feeling chilly
