I have *finally* updated my business's website so it reflects what I do rather than what I thought I would do 4 years ago when I launched it.
Ironically, one of the things I do is write websites. 😆 But only for other people.
The cobbler's children are definitely going barefoot at my place.

The search box from the Australian Ticketek site. The prompt to type reads "what are you looking for?"
Of all the things I thought I'd be typing in this year when asked what are you looking for "Anthrax" was not on my list. But here we are.
(The band, people, it's the band. I have enough health issues already.)

Screenshot from Goodreads: shows 26 books of 50 books read in 2025
I'm hopefully reading more books in 2026 - got any recommendations for me?
Welp, I failed the #GoodReads challenge in 2025. I usually read a book a week but 2025 was a 💩🪩shitdisco timewise. (Yes to sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction, humour and historical. No audiobooks.)

A screenshot of an email which reads,
Hello,
I hope you are well.
My name is (blocked out), and I work for Business.
I am writing to enquire if you would be interested in writing a blog post or article for us on your website, featuring products or lifestyle ideas. Your insights on curated business would be a great fit for our audience.
You will receive a fixed payment for your work, and the article should be on topic and relevant to your business.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
This may be the weirdest phishing/fraud attempt I have received yet.
It reads like it was written by 3 AIs in a trenchcoat.
"I work for Business" is going to be my new go-to phrase when people ask.

Buying gifts for other people's children this Christmas? If you choose something battery operated, here's what to do next:
🪫 1. Hate the parents? Don't include any necessary batteries.
🔋 2. Are the parents people you actually like? Put batteries in with the gift. Please. We beg you.

Screenshot of an email from Uber, text only below the Uber logo.
An easy ride for your quick trips
Whether it's a rainy ride to the end of the road or a five-minute supermarket run, there's a trip for you.
Call to action button reads: Request a ride
It's called a booty call and they (probably) have a name, Uber.
Show some respect.

A screenshot from scienceweek.ie/
Green text on a white background which reads:
114cm
The distance the moon has receded from the Earth since 1995.
The moon gets 3.8cm further from the Earth each year!
Even the moon is sick of our bullshit

I need to get work done so of course my brain has decided to write characters and plot for a LARP. Want to play "Arrest The Development"? A murder-mystery-farce where a housing association's must stop the Bluths from destroying their homes by sabotaging George Snr's funeral. #ArrestedDevelopment

If I was forced to guess I would say someone is having a go at "modern look" for some reason but because is probably all the answer we shall ever have.
I'm sure there's plenty more books in your to-read pile anyway, mines at the Jenga stage.

I'm not wild about it, but could read it. It kind of reads like a web page more than a long form book?

I have a trick to reduce my phone time! I kept finding myself zoning out scrolling for dopamine.
Setting the screen to black and white makes doomscrolling and games unappealing - but I can still see work/school messages etc and use accessibility apps. I've set this mode up for 10-4 daily now. #ADHD

If anyone wants to know how my "healthier and more focused" summer has been going -
I just washed down a shot of iron and B vitamins with coffee in a desperate attempt to power up and through 1 of the 8 urgent items on my to-do list.

2003 for sure now I have thought about it. I remember making everyone wear those red shirts for my Warpcon (13). It's at 36 next year...
Second breakfast less of an issue for me than all the stopping at Inns with friends but what would life be without that.
