OK, that was just what the doctor ordered. A lovely day of #umbraco talks and catching up with my friends!

Lovely 6km run to town to get a train at shat o’clock this morning. Even managed to grab an earlier train! Love seeing the city in the early hours in autumn. Now to Manchester for some hot #umbraco action!

Sad that I can’t make it over for the community part of #umbraco in the city today (ironically I have a big Umbraco site launch shortly). Looking forward to seeing folks tomorrow though!

My daughter has been practicing horror makeup for her Halloween costume, I’m really sad we didn’t have YouTube when I was a kid. She spent an hour watching some videos and then did this with PVA glue, toilet roll, standard makeup and some fake blood.

Genuinely looking forward to Umbraco in the City in a couple of weeks! I don’t get to hang out with my Umbraco friends as much as i used to and it makes me sad.

My daughter has made a creepy Halloween wreath using an ivy ring, some distressed foam flowers and eyes. I think it’s come out really well! Then last night she wrote three chapters of a very creepy gothic style story. She’s definitely our child 😂

I think it’s safe to say that Mochi, the abandoned kitten we took in, has very much settled into her new home. Here she is stopping me working by demanding skritches. #proofofcat

VERY excited to finally get to run Brindlewood Bay for some friends tonight, including someone who’s never played an RPG before! Should be fun 😃 hopefully we’ll be able to make this a regular thing!

I love when people use photos of them I took at festivals as avatar photos. What makes me sad though is the number of my photos that have been used in order of services for friends taken before their time. I feel honoured they chose a picture I took, but also very melancholy.

Holy shit. Was privileged enough to get to visit someone who has a phenomenal archive of music. Something like 65,000+ albums worth of stuff. Makes my undiagnosed ADHD hoardy tendencies look like amateur hour. Absolute squad goals.

In Porto with a pal who believes all mashups are wrong. INCORRECT, tried to introduce her to the Slipknot/Spice girls mashup and she wasn’t having it 😂

Finally, almost finished reading this, and it’s delightful. I feel like this a book @garius.bsky.social and @soapachu.bsky.social would enjoy.

The not so small human just had a go at doing Halloween makeup. I’d say this is pretty damned awesome!

Watching Infinity War with my family and had a discussion about Chadwick Boseman with my daughter. One of the things they never really discuss with cancer patients is survivors guilt. I’m pretty old now, at this point I’ve lost a LOT of friends to this shitty disease

Find myself really missing Japan this week. I wish I could go back again soon. Sadly, it’ll be a while before I can go again.

There are a surprising number of similarities between programming and running ultra distance endurance events. I have the shell of what I think is a pretty entertaining tech talk about it. Trying to decide if I should try and submit it to some events and see if anyone wants to listen to it 😂

The Saja boys were clearly based on Creep era Radiohead and I will die on this hill #kpopdemonhunters 😂

Newcomer Mochi is now mostly tolerated by our older cat Jiji. See how they sit almost together! Jiji has EPIC tortie grump face though 😂 #proofofcat

A friend has been building an amazing custom Game of Thrones themed library in her house and she’s asked me to paint this book end for her. Not used to painting stuff this big, but I’ll give it a go! Will post some WiP shots as I go along.

Still can’t quite get my head around the idea that I ran 100 miles just over a week ago! I’m glad I managed to do it before I was 50 though 😃 am starting to consider having another crack next year 😂 it’s only another 28.5 miles to finish the race!
September 3, 2025 at 4:16 PM
And another friend taken far too young. Motor Neurone Disease this time. RIP Fitz, I’ll miss our music chats at Infest.

New arrival Mochi and grumpy older cat Jiji tolerating each other! This is good progress. #proofofcat

Say hello to one of my several a souvenirs from the weekends adventures. I think I’m going to call it Pustulio 😂

Timed out of my race at around 90 miles and decided to bloody mindedly slog the last 10 miles just so I can FINALLY say I’ve run 100 miles. That was a lot of fun, but TOUGH. Currently wide awake because my sleep patterns are knackered, and it hurts when I move my legs/feet 😂
