194 days ago I started my own journey into Self Hosting - or rather, hosting on a Virtual Private Server. I installed #yunohost, and added my own #gotosocial instance and Nextcloud, with Collabora Online. Everything works great, but I’ve decided that I am going to return to my mastondonapp.uk […]

I just tried out the @raycast keyboard on iOS and wow, it’s impressive! Super smooth and a game changer for #productivity

We’re going to Budapest in February, for a weekend. I decided, in my infinite wisdom, to learn Hungarian! Just so that I could recognise words. I’m doing this on Duolingo and am three weeks in. My vocab is growing, but it’s such a hard language to learn. #duolingo

Good morning Sunday… This is Maple Pecan flavour Nespresso. Smells divine and tastes good too #nespresso #coffee 🍁

Sky television has been cancelled. Sky Broadband being replaced too… It’s a great feeling to save money.

Looks like most (if not all) of the James Bond films are available on Prime 🎬 I prefer the earlier ones, but will happily chomp my way through them, just because…. 🍿 #jamesbond #movies

AFC Bournemouth go 2nd in the Premier League… fantastic result tonight. OK - I know it’s temporary, but let me enjoy it for a few hours 😂

Great to have Slow Horses back

New on my blog today ✍️ I’m teaching myself how to write better prompts; so that I can embrace AI as a useful tool and make the most of what it has to offer. https://blog.doony.me/prompt #blog #ai #writing

I absolutely love “Only Murders In The Building”. Fantastic script, great cast. Bonkers storylines and improbable sleuthing; but the chemistry between them all is priceless. Worth the Disney+ subscription alone. #disneyplus #hulu #onlymurdersinthebuilding.

It was a very noisy night at the Cubs meeting last night. After reminding ourselves about the reef knot, which we taught them last week, we did a couple of activities related to Communication. One was to break codes, and then they created their own phrases using the same code. The other was […]

Just back from a District meeting of GLVs to hear about the merging of two districts, to become one large one. Sounds interesting. I wait to see what happens. #scoutinguk

We’re off to Robin Hoods Bay… #robinhoodsbay #yorkshirecoast

It’s like your veggies are smiling back at you! #food

We. Are. Back. 27 Cubs (inc 6 new ones) 4 Leaders 1 Parent (who didn’t help). We showed them the Reef Knot and asked them to practice it over the next week. We played games and invested a couple of Cubs. They were noisy but it’s good to be back. #cubscouts #scoutinguk

Ugh! I’m awake! Still have an hour until my alarm. I’ve been lying here for ages and finally gave in to reaching for my phone! Think I’ll listen to a podcast; fall asleep and miss the whole thing!

Looks like the holiday is over! Planning for the new Cub term tomorrow evening. I have my ideas but need to bring the other leaders along for the ride - and get them involved in planning too. #cubscouts #scoutinguk

The concert at Sandringham Estate was terrific. Not particularly enamoured with Gabrielle, but Beverley Knight and Michael Bublé were fantastic. Great atmosphere, only dulled by a 2 and a half hour bus journey back to the hotel, due to the huge traffic backlog. There will be a blog about it […]

The other evening I told my son that I meet a friend every week at the local pub, to catch up and just shoot the breeze. We’ve been doing this for 4 years, barring holidays etc. His reaction was a little surprising. He said that it was good I have a male friend, as men always have difficulty […]

Tipsy Teapot. The cocktails served in a teapot and teacup. Very unique and quirky concept. Food is great too. Shame there’s only this one, in Kings Lynn - would do well in other places.

A tax rebate you say? Thank you HMRC…

Thank goodness for a cooler night. Actually managed to sleep! Had a lovely time in Overstrand and Cromer - beautiful part of the country (everywhere looks great in the sun). Today we’re off to Kings Lynn. #uktravel #holiday
