Socialising in 2020

04/25/2020

Dinner and pre-drinks, followed by a pub quiz.

A new backdrop

04/24/2020

I always have a problem taking photos of food in our house. We don't have any clean backdrops. Or at least I thought we didn't, but I was wrong.

I love GraphQL

04/19/2020

I've been using GraphQL with Craft since I redeveloped this site, which is quite a while now. But running someone else's GraphQL API is like training wheels.

More scones!

04/17/2020

Charlotte requested scones again, but cheese scones this time. I went off piste and used pizza seasoning with tomato puree on top and they were so good

Scone!

04/14/2020

I haven't done any baking in a shameful amount of time. I am dreadful at parallel tasks, and obviously baking is all parallel tasks.

Sunday

04/12/2020

The ferns at the office don't do well in this heat, so I combined my morning cycle with a plant-watering expedition

I hate going out

04/11/2020

We got ants in the house and it was going to take a week for Amazon to deliver Nippon. Fortunately, our local hardware place stocks it.

Wednesday

04/08/2020

I've been in a dreadful mood all day. Everything has irritated me in some way. I hate days like this.

Fixing things you don't understand

04/06/2020

I don't really get how any of this works. So far I've just been doing things and they've been working OK most of the time

Saturday

04/04/2020

Today I feel for anyone who doesn't have a garden. I can't imagine self-isolating without any safe outside space.

Pencil case: complete!

04/04/2020

With this order from The Journal Shop, I think I'm done acquiring stationery. These scissors are insane.

Home "schooling"

04/01/2020

Charlotte's been doing a brilliant job of giving Tabitha educational stuff to do

Tabitha is Seven

03/22/2020

Looking over these photos has made me feel very sad.

Tabitha is (nearly) Seven

03/22/2020

Tabitha has enjoyed Animal Crossing: New Leaf so much, and the New Horizons release coincided so well with her birthday, that this was a no-brainer

Real-life Animal Crossing

03/22/2020

It's good having access to an allotment. Plenty of space, barely anyone around and when they are they're far away!

GMK Dots

03/21/2020

I've been waiting for this set for so long.

The understated dignity of the enamel pin backing card

03/14/2020

I keep all the backing cards for my pins. I don't know why; it's not like I ever get them out and study them.

Early Walk

03/13/2020

Got woken up by a full hard disk at 4am today so when that was sorted I went to take the dog for a walk.

Seagulls

03/08/2020

We get seagulls in the garden a lot, stamping to drum up worms. Sneaky little devils, but you can't argue with its efficacy.
