How do you wear your Watch?
My brother, who works in a phone shop, upon seeing my Apple Watch orientation “that’s against the Apple Style guidelines, crown should be on the right”. 😒 Alright, I’ll just wait it upside down ya frumpet. Or y’know, the software let me turn it about. *(I’m left handed) pic.twitter.com/urJM5evNbA — Doug (@dougaitken) December 25, 2018…

Monzo Ambassador
Yesterday I was doing the last of my Christmas shopping and due to the Apple Pay limit, I had to use my Monzo card more than usual. Due to the hot coral color of the cards, you can’t miss them. I was in one shop and the girl saw the card: “aw you should be an…

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.
