hello

Learning about minimalism, productivity and what makes us humans tick. I like marmite, bad dad jokes, and good coffee.

my apple watch experiment

One of the apple products I have never owned is an Apple Watch, I was recently offered a spare watch by my parents so I thought I would give it a go.

a compost bore

Now that I am a gardener I need to sort out the compost bins. I have three of them, I have geeked out on how to do it and made a start. My suspicion is that I will become a compost bore. I also suspect my other half is going to point this out to me.

I am now a gardener

We have lived, up until now, in houses with lawns and simple borders. My main gardening tasks were to keep the lawns mown and to keep the worst of the weeds at bay (weeds are just plants that are really easy to grow, right?)

no longer listening to podcasts

Something has been bugging me about podcasts for quite a while.  I was getting a bit daunted by my ever increasing backlog of episodes, they were another visual cue of more things to-do.

hedging my social media position

In the old days there was twitter. I had a twitter account, found some funny people to follow and would get the best customer service from companies twitter accounts.

autumn in the lake district

We have always tended to visit the Lake District at Easter or during the summer. This was our first visit in October and the autumn colors did not disappoint.
