  • Unlock Apple computer with Apple Watch

    Honestly one of the most useful features… As long as the same iCloud account is signed into both, you can unlock MacBook / iMac just by waking the screen and having your Apple Watch closeby.

  • Toothless’ audition

    Since the first movie was announced, I’ve loved How To Train Your Dragon. Seeing Kit Harington and Toothless in their “lost audition tape” is amazing. Attention Vikings! Kit Harington and Toothless’ long-lost audition tapes have been found. Watch now. #HowToTrainYourDragon pic.twitter.com/XEnUjK4EfL — DreamWorks Animation (@Dreamworks) December 13, 2018 Over eight years since I saw the…

  • Table and benches

    A style of table I’ve long liked is solid wood, and benches are an odd love of mine. I’ve wanted a table with benches. We got this today, it’s pretty cool!   Note, this is practically identical to the very first table I chose, Zara didn’t like it. ~2h of looking later, we settled on…

  • Another Balgay Walk

    We’ve started going out at the weekend for a walk around Balgay which I’ve posted about before. Some people take the mantra of Dundee being the “Sunniest City” to new levels: It was another dreary day but this didn’t stop us finding some weird gargoyles at the Pavilion: Those trainers didn’t stay white…

  • Sorting out the TARDIS

    We’ve cleared it out, but today was a final sort out and tidy. Here is a pano to kind of give you an idea of how big this is: Yes, that is a pool table and two couches, along with a cupboard behind that door on the right.

  • My father has Alzheimer’s

    This is the post I hinted at before, and why I chose Alzheimer’s Scotland as the cause for my birthday fundraiser. Not many people outside of close friends will know that when I say “dad”, I mean my stepfather. So when I say “father”, I mean my biological father. When I was 10 my parents…

  • Wrapped up

    I did mention I’d have another post today about an exciting delivery but this evening was better in a way. Yes friends, the Wrapping Master is back. With some help, the kids Christmas presents and some friends presents, are all wrapped up. It’s not even down to a week until Christmas. HASHTAG DEALT WITH! 🎁…

  • XS

    Today is momentous. I got a new phone. Not just meeting me but NEW. Context – I’ve smashed at least four phones, and lost one (which was later smashed) so I’ve taken Zara’s when she upgraded. She’s keeping her X so I got to get a new phone. Today I took delivery of the XS.…

  • Looking for bad guys

    “Come site down” “No, I’m looking for bad guys. Nope, nope, hmm, nope.” We like the new fancy 22 bus

  • Phone Home Screen – December 2018

    Every so often, someone posts on one of the general Automattic watercooler p2s some “show me your…” type posts. We’ve had mugs, and desks, and phone screens along with other random “I need advice / this is cool” type posts. Yesterday I replied to a “What does your phone’s home screen look like?” post. Here is…
