Working on a document… on holiday… for 2.5 hours… auto-recovery turned on… manually save the document before closing it for the night to be greeted by ‘Word cannot save owing to a permissions error’ and poof… all changes gone. Hasn’t happened to me in a long time.

Doing a little bit of work on holiday helps me return more relaxed. I think.

Volcà del Croscat - a dormant volcano (“the last eruption dated back to about 14,000 years Before Present”). It was “quarried … until the early 1990s, exposing the internal structure of the cone”

Lovely walk, but incredibly windy!

A dramatic, stratified quarry landscape is dominated by red and brown earth tones under a cloudy sky. This is the excavated side of the Volcà del Croscat

When we were young, my brother, cousin, and I would rope in my mum and my aunt to help us serve cream teas at our local Scout hut. Missing my mum very much today, so this scone (from a packet given to me by a dear friend) was just the thing to unlock some happy memories of her this afternoon.

A raisin scone topped with butter and strawberry jam is on a plate, set against a backdrop of potted plants.

I’d love to know how much research IKEA put into how little flavour you can add to coke from a dispenser before 100% of your customers tell you it’s disgusting 🧑‍🔬🤔

The Paper Pro Move from reMarkable looks like a really interesting format, but I don’t think it’s for me. Great exploration of the device from My Deep Guide, highlighting both the good and the bad, which helped me come to my conclusion: www.youtube.com/watch

I have a custom timeline in Tapestry (https://usetapestry.com/) that is an oasis of photography, insight, stories, and kindness. It’s a wonderful place to immerse myself. I still take a deep breath and wade into the unfiltered stream daily, but the oasis reminds me how joyous social media can be.

I signed up with Kagi (https://kagi.com/) for paid personalised search. I’m having to retrain my muscle memory that the links are the top of the page ARE actually Kagi’s genuine top hits, not some paid-for links. I realise I’m so used to skipping down the page on Google to find the proper results.

Going to see Superman tonight. It’s the first film in a long time I’ve been genuinely excited about. I really enjoyed Zack Snyder’s take on the characters, but the films didn’t feel very hopeful tonally. Going in, this film feels more like it’s going to feel like the Superman of my youth.
