πΈ A gorgeous, if slightly hazy, view over London this evening.

πΈ When you realise it was your neighbour flying you home from Edinburgh!
π± Once again attempting to update my Apple Watch to the latest OS. Thoughts and prayers…
π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ After a lovely dinner and wander round town last night, my Edinburgh visit took a sour turn.
An almost sleepless night in possibly the noisiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. And I’ve been in a few! Slamming doors, guests shouting, people running down corridors.
Yes, best to avoid the Ibis “Hotel” (hostel?) on South Bridge, Edinburgh. Unless you love plastic surfaces and want to relive life as a student, circa 1995.
Good thing I don’t have to run a workshop this morning… Oh!
π Found a fab little ramen place minutes from my hotel. Had a delicious bowl of Tonkotsu ramen and a heaping dish of Takoyaki π
πΈ Beautiful evening light over Edinburgh.
πΈ Gorgeous blue skies over Edinburgh today.
π± I’ve updated my iPhone 15 Pro and my iPad mini.
The MacBook Pro will need to wait until I’m back in London, as there’s work to be done! Haven’t had time to dive deeply into the new functionality of iOS yet, but noticed a few nice interface and design changes. So far, so good!
π± Updating to iOS18β¦ see you on the other side.
πΈ Soaking up some Scottish sunshine βοΈ Carpe diem and all that.
βοΈ Amazing but true: Iβm wearing shorts and sitting out in the sun here in Fife this afternoon. Most unexpected and very welcome!
π Still in Scotland and just back from the vet with my Mumβs cat. Thankfully heβs been given a clean bill of health after a few worrying days. Vet thinks he just ate something that disagreed with him.
π± So I’m assuming that those of us in Europe will have to wait until much later in the day before iOS18 is available for download?
πͺπͺ A photo-filled summary of my visit to Tallinn back in May:
I was quickly sucked in by the hardcore coffee and pastries videos, clips of medieval city walls and cute bars. And so we planned a long weekend β and enjoyed every single minute.

π¦ A travel memory from Japan back in 2017:
You only need to let your guard down for the moment and youβll have a deer stealing the entire bag, or attempting to chew a hole in your shorts.

π½οΈ I am full of delicious roast chicken. There’s nothing like the roast dinner your own mother makes for you!
πΈ Went for a walk around the lovely Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline earlier and got quite up close and personal with some of the local peacocks. They have freedom of the entire park and go where they like.
Having a very lazing, relaxing morning here in Fife. I might go for a walk while it’s dry. Then it’s time for a roast dinner, followed by taking my mum to the cinema to see Alien: Romulus.
I’m sure we’ll all sleep soundly tonight!
βοΈ On approach to Edinburgh.
I snapped this Friday evening as we flew over the Firth of Forth, just a few short minutes before landing in Edinburgh. If it’s not too cloudy, the views for the last ten minutes of this flight are always stunning.
πΈ The view from take-off.
Friday evening, London City Airport, just before departure for Edinburgh. I thought the light looked incredible. And for once, the plane window wasn’t too filthy to take a pic through.

Over a week ago, I took off my case to clean the phone and didnβt put it back on.

π‘ I’ve popped home for a couple of hours to a) grab a quick post-lunch nap and b) get changed for this evening’s celebratory cocktail reception. I’ve invited clients and friends to celebrate ten years of my business. So I’ll need all my energy, hence the battery-recharging shut-eye.
π§ It seems like normal brain service has resumed. Feeling an awful lot better this morning!
π§ It was one of those days when my brain just didn’t cooperate.
It hasnβt happened in quite a while, but today I had an epileptic seizure at work.Β Iβm lucky, in that most of my seizures tend to take the form ofΒ βabsencesβ - where I just zone out while my brain basically reboots.
ππ» A brain fart
πΈ Some very welcome sunshine and blue skies over London this morning.
