Morgyface

A white mug on a grey kitchen worktop. The mug has a large illustration of a black cats head on it and around the inner rim of the mug are coral coloured brush strokes.

Went to a pottery painting cafe and made this.

Only just got round to giving this a listen and it’s good. Bloody good.

Woke up early so did Day 21 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI. I need to revisit later as the code that makes up the game has gone in one ear and out t'other.

Me too. He was a lovely chap. Seemed pleasantly surprised I knew who the Sundays were.

We need to start a clothing brand.

Enjoyed Day 20 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI, we covered using stacks to arrange views, colours, frames and gradients,
buttons and images and showing alert messages.

"No swearing when you meet my parents, okay?"
"Ok"
[Parents appear]
"Hello you old fuckers"

We both looked at each other and stated giggling and sniggered away for about 10 minutes.

Had a lovely little moment yesterday. My daughter is 11. For background, we have a swearing is fine as long as it's only ever used in jest rule in our household, yet not much happens. We were in a card shop looking for a funny birthday card, saw one with two cats on it, the dialogue was...

Very jealous of your life, I visited Costa Rica in the early 00's, we stayed in Avellana and Tamarindo on the opposite coast to you. I didn't want to leave, it was bloody magic.

Screen grab of an iOS app called WeConvert that appears to convert temperature measurements into different units.

Day 19 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI was Challenge Day, we had to build an app to do unit conversions and I've managed to cobble something together that seems to work.

#100DaysOfSwiftUI day 18 done. Really enjoying it. @twostraws.bsky.social

Day 17 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI done. For anyone else just starting out on this course, the introduction becomes a bit of a slog, I think I learn best when there's a practical application and I started to lose enthusiasm, but all comes good at Day 16 when you start actually making stuff.

Very much so. It’s gone on my @discogsofficial.bsky.social want list.

If you're giving it a go so am I.

I've just finished Day 16 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI.

I just finished "Consolidation" at Day 15 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI, so that's the Introduction done, next up is "Starting SwiftUI". Brilliant tutorials by @twostraws.bsky.social. Thank you!

Just finished Day 14 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI, I think that's the first chapter, next stop the consolidating review.

New t-shirt idea.
“Middle-aged with zero tolerance for incompetence” prompted by a frustrating online purchase.

Day 13 has beeb completed. Feeling slightly jaded after going out in Bristol on Thursday night so might well need a recap.
#100DaysOfSwiftUI

Just went for a kebab and ending up chatting to Midlake and the drummer from The Sundays.

Day 12 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI done. It was all a bit overwhelming and I was beginning to lose confidence but then quickly solved Checkpoint 7, so it's sinking in. @twostraws.bsky.social

I've just finished Day 11 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI and did a pretty good job of Checkpoint 6 at the end I think.

Just finished Day 10 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI though I started it yesterday and ran out of time. Found structs and custom initializers a lot easier than closures. Also loving more of @twostraws.bsky.social's references in the tests, particularly enjoyed; if actor = "Sean Bean" probablyGoingToDie

Thanks Jon!

Oh Kiki cat with your little front legs Shaking your bum like a pair of boiled eggs You’re running and darting and purring so loud It sounds like a rhino or a jostling crowd You eat fish with rice as long as it’s juicy You once did a shit and it could’ve been sushi

Oh Kiki cat with your little front legs Shaking your bum like a pair of boiled eggs You’ve got tiny teeth and really sharp claws You get paid cash to bite mother-in-laws. I’ve seen you driving a van and wearing a suit You’re a noisy menace and I wish you were mute

Oh Kiki cat with your little front legs Shaking your bum like a pair of boiled eggs When we go abroad you have those wild parties With things on plates like birds, mice and smarties You sleep and dream of running a shop It sells soap, moles and magic pork chop

I’ve written a poem/song about our cat.

Well I just finished Day 9 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI but it took me 3 days. Closures are hard and I couldn't do the Checkpoint without lots of help. Reckon I need to revisit everything so far and do day 9 again.

Day 8 and Checkpoint 4 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI done.

Day 7 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI done, big thanks to @twostraws.bsky.social. It's getting a little more challenging but very well taught so I think I'm keeping up.

You refer to eating an entire bag of crisps in one sitting as “mildly concerning”.

I refer to it as “seeing things through” and “not being a quitter”.

Everything is all about perspective.

Help us make hope normal again.
