Calling all cis women, trans women, and non-binary folks going to Laracon EU! We're sponsoring a Larabelles happy hour on Monday and would love if you can join us. RSVP ➡️ luma.com/61sdhh28 (Laravel world men: appreciate you helping raise awareness and sharing this 😊)

We’ve launched Filament v5 and Filament Blueprint today! 🤖 Filament v5 adds support for the newly-released Livewire v4! Blueprint is a premium Laravel Boost extension that gives AI agents deep, structured knowledge of Filament, so they can write detailed implementation plans.

About half way through. Hopefully this time we’ll get some food instead of having to give it to the animals!! It is starting to look beautiful again.

Just been to vote in Portugal for the first time, it was quite invigorating to be able to contribute in this way.

Both seem to be doing well!

I'm running some sort of cat infirmary here: a blind cat with a broken leg and a deaf cat with a bite!

You know you're spending too much time on your own when you ask your cat how long they think they are going to be inside for!

Some more good news over the weekend, our last remaining missing farm cat came home in one piece. Almost 3 weeks since the fire, we'd given up hope but Charlie is back home! On the downside for the past 2 days the air is full of smoke from the massive fires to the west and north of us.

Larabelles are giving away one ticket to @laracon.au! Don't miss out on the opportunity to level up your skills in the beautiful city of Brisbane. Enter by September 30, 2025, using this link: larabelles.com/giveaway/lar... Can't wait to see you there!

Last night was interesting. A storm came, amazing lightning all around. Then it rained & the wind was horrific. Finally, unsurprisingly, that set off a raft of fires all around us. Luckily not too close and they were out by morning but with the wind & no aerial support it could have been worse.

I don't know about build in public, I think I might try rebuild in public! A few weeks ago, before it all happened, I was thinking about writing a blog about living here, I certainly have plenty of material now!

I've seen the damage first hand for the first time today, it's pretty heartbreaking.

Some happy news this morning, Rosie has finally come home! A bit dirty, a lot hungry but generally OK.

You can support our efforts to rebuild here; gofund.me/57b48e64 Thank you!

The aftermath, it's heartbreaking. All our lovely olive trees destroyed. Thank you to everyone who has supported us.

New fires keep starting all around! The fire brigade don’t stop!

Not much left of the trees.

The fire burning through our wood and coming towards our home.

It's a bad photo but each light is an olive tree burning. It's so sad.

Thank you to the #Laravel community for supporting my Go Fund Me! It really is the best! gofund.me/33417958

Please share #Laravel folks!

On Monday a fire ravaged our farm, destroying most of our olive trees and other things. My husband managed to save our shed, our animals & home. I have set up a Go Fund Me to help raise money to start replanting. Any amount, is much appreciated. gofund.me/3dedee6a

I don’t know why exactly but writing Blade components is extremely satisfying. #laravel

It's been on average 10 degrees hotter than usual this June. Which means instead of spring days where it's in the mid to late 20s, it's been a boiling mid to late 30s. Over the weekend it was 40. The grass has dried up already and makes me wonder what kind of summer it is going to be!

Hey everyone, @gros.co and I have an extra ticket for LaraconUS next month. Comes with hangouts and merch. If you want to be in next week's draw to win it (along with $500 towards your travel) goto laravel.recipes and register. The entry form is on your home page

Here I am, in another app trying to replace what we lost. A little bit about me - I’m a programmer, mostly PHP with the TALL stack. I’m also an olive farmer and I’m a bit of a cat obsessive.
