Notebooks In Summer

After months of carrying around my notebook constantly. Through thick and thin, whatever the occasion. Do you know what killed it? Summer. My field notes and everyday inspiration cover doesn’t really fit with my baggy summer shorts, and that kind of sucks. Months on end, this thing stuck with

Deciduous Publishing

I’ve always liked the idea of a digital garden, even tried to set one up a few times, but never really managed to make one stick. Well, perhaps that’s not strictly true, I do have one in Apple notes, but it’s not a published one. The appeal

My Big Flip Phone Experiment

I’m not sure what has caused this feeling. These motivations have existed for a while, but never quite reached this level of motivation, my desire to ditch my phone has reached the levels I have never experienced before, and I’ve gone and done it. For the next 4

Trying to get going

This morning was battery changing duty on Lucies Toot Toot cars. We currently have 19 as a few of them were not recoverable ☹️Here she is making sure I’ve lined them up straight enough. <img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/b7/9d/b79de972-2b88-4e88-960e-

Back To Work

I hate this feeling. I’ve never had it before, and I never want it again. Some people call it the holiday blues, others feel it every week on a Sunday evening. Whatever you call it, I’m talking about that sinking feeling when you realise you have to go

More Personal Blogging

For a lot of the last 18 months or so, I have had two blogs. Since buying a new domain in 2021 I found my approach to writing became too formal. I spent too much time worrying about publishing and soon returned to a micro.blog at gr36.com. I
