Taking a little trip on the London Eye whilst I’m in the area 😆

Treated myself to Super Mario Wonder this weekend on Switch (right before Cities Skylines II is due out next week too!). However, is it me or are games getting harder to play? I fear it’s actually just an age thing 🤣

Rhodes was just beautiful. And just the downtime and timeout I needed - I actually learnt how to relax and enjoy a holiday instead of running around like crazy, and it felt so long as a result! 😌

The cat is playing a 2am game of knock everything off the bedside table and I think I’m dying of man flu/covid/squirrel aids or something. Both of these are keeping me awake. Yay. 🙄🤧

Oooh nice, thank you! 👌 The class based option definitely scratches the OCD itch to keep everything neat, tidy and organised more 😂

Exciting news, JetBrains's PHPStorm 2023.2 brings built-in support for Laravel Pint. 🍺 https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/whatsnew/2023-2/

I don’t know how this magic works, but somehow the “random photos” wallpaper on an Apple iPhone always manages to pick amazing photos that are very photogenic and frame the focus perfectly. This one of Molly always makes me laugh as if she’s peeking in from the edge 😂

Keep finding Twitter so frustrating to even open and read now with timelines full of junk adverts and the “algorithm” showing so much clickbait, radical opinion and extremism that I don’t care for. Every time I scroll through I just see awful stuff. Guess I’ll just enjoy the peace here…. for now 😂

That’s so much nicer than the miles we have in our garden… they are tearing up the plant beds and the lawn 😩😭

Had a lovely walk around Trimpley reservoir once we figured out how to get down to the actual reservoir from the car park 😂 and even saw a Severn Valley steam train go by a few times too! 🚂 ☀️
