It still amazes me that big tech companies think I will genuinely consider buying an iPad or laptop or Β£400 Garmin watch for my wife for Valentines Day. She'd divorce me on the spot!

If you ignore the actual altitude of my run, it looks like I've just conquered an Alp rather than the local hill.

I keep seeing (remastered) after songs in Spotify I consider modern and thinking, why have they remastered that? and then realise the songs over 30 years old... 😳

You think *you've* got it bad? I'm trying to read just up the road from you, in the peace of my livingroom, with an owl hooting repeatedly outside. Granted, I don't have my own owl inside getting worked up though. πŸ•πŸ¦‰

Weather's turned pretty yuck here in #Crieff. Wet, windy and stupidly mild. I miss the frost!

I love the personalised bookmark with photos of our boys my wife got me as a Father's Day gift but it keeps randomly sliding out of my books without me realising, losing my place. Dammit! What is the actual point of you, bookmark?!?!? 😑

Wait, it's a new day, new week, new month and new year? My dad sense is tingling. There must be a clock somewhere that needs reset or something. Is it bin day? Very uneasy...

Aw man! The Quality Street is down to only Orange or Strawberry. An After Eight it is then. Night all!

Planning to get out for a run later today. Hoping our neighbourhood is structurally sound enough to handle it... #running #christmas
