After a few discussions around the topic, it occurs to me that my partner wants an Apple Watch, just not as a device on her wrist. I can’t imagine she’s the only one.

Tempted to stop giving money to stores who add that PayPal “would you like a copy of this cart…” overlay.

It’s intrusive, annoying, slows down browsing, and very often appears on *every* page load. Including the cart itself.

SMDH.

The worst bit about finishing a big miniature painting project is cleaning up my workspace afterwards.

The best bit might be having a clean workspace ready for the next project.

It was already pretty wet today, but I really want to go for a walk, to stretch my legs… it’s just that every time I start to think it might be ok to go out, the skies open up even more 😐🌧🌧

Scream Queens is probably my favourite show at the moment, having only recently discovered it. It’s so bizarre, quirky, and dumb. I’ve genuinely laughed out loud more at this show than anything I can recall in recent memory.

It’s strange to think that for years, and even at the start of this year, I didn’t like halloumi, but now I absolutely love it. Proof I guess that our tastes change and evolve over time.

According to the scales, I lost 5kg over the last week. Four more weeks of that (unlikely, but 🤞) and I’ll hit my weight goal.

While I was waiting to get my vaccine, there was a constant stream of people checking out the shelf of products marked “[will] help you sleep better.” I thought that was interesting in the context of my two posts from this morning.

I had a bad night’s sleep, and have been awake since the early hours of the morning, so I’m already starting to flag. Today is probably going to be very long.

“Dark mode” for this site has been one of those things on my todo list for a while. The in-development theme I’m working on has been built from the ground up to support it through the use of media queries and CSS custom properties — but I hadn’t actually implemented it. After a nudge from reading this post by Jeremy I’ve finally implemented something to try out:

In progress theme in ’dark mode’

For now I’m borrowing Jeremy’s colours, but I’m planning to tweak these as the design evolves.

My local grocery store has started to sell its own-brand plant-based burgers. I really want to try them, but I’ll have to wait until I’m on an “off keto” cycle, as they’re relatively high in carbs. It’s amazing and encouraging how quickly the newer plant-based “meat alternatives” are becoming mainstream.

Some of the trees across from my office window look like they’re being blown horizontal by the wind, which is going to make the walking part of my trip to the dentist fun.
