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…

Cleared the office
Today was office tidy and more junk clearing. Going through my old stuff and finally parted with electronics I haven’t used for years and don’t really work. Including this beaut: The Oregon Scientific Osaris PDA. Bought in ~2001, I got this as I couldn’t save enough for a Compaq iPaq. It has a serial port…

Spotify Wrapped
The end of every year, I get nostalgic with the “end of year” lists. Spotify are again doing their year “Wrapped up”. I got the email: This year, you listened to 3,636 different songs on Spotify. But which will be your #1? I mean, no surprises from me: Not gonna lie, I’m surprised Home Wrecker…
