Forgot it was Cardiff v Newport tonight

Old enough to remember this
A screengrab of a 1980s Australian TV programme. A group of medics operating on a patient in a dark operating theatre. Some large overlaid text reads: The Young Doctors

Disappointed that 90% of my official half marathon photos are of me struggling to turn off Strava

Did the Belfast Half Marathon today and achieved my goal of running it all the way. Woohoo!
A selfie of me gurning like an idiot. Behind me in the middle distance is the finish line of a half marathon. There are flags and barriers and a few other runners have crossed the line too.

Tenuous Taskmaster series 20 connection: my font was used in the opening titles of Sanjeev Bhaskar’s sitcom
A picture of a street corner in India. Hovering in the sky are the words “Sanjeev Bhaskar” in a frankly wonderful font

I was waiting for the NYT Connections shade, and my goodness it did not disappoint
A still from the Connecting Wall round of Only Connect. In the four by four grid we can see (among other words) Vertex, Tiles, Strands, Mini… and Connections

I contributed a little bug fix to Amiberry to enable me to read Amiga floppy disks on my Mac and now I’m going through my old magazine cover disk collection running software from 1990
An Apple MacBook on a cluttered desk. It is running an Amiga emulator in full screen - the familiar Amiga Workbench OS is visible.

My pips remain stubbornly off-screen so I’m going to have to buy a bigger phone and send NYT the bill

Amazing how such a trivial thing can make you miss a place so much. For me it’s the clanking of the flagpoles on the Millennium Walkway in Cardiff

Small detour through Mynachlogddu today
A standing stone with a plaque in front. It’s a bluestone from this area of the Preseli hills. In the distance is Foel Drygarn, a hill fort.

We left Cardiff two years ago today. I’ve come back briefly to visit all my favourite places and I miss it dreadfully
Cardiff Bay. A building on a small pier juts out from the left in the midground. Penarth headland is visible in the distance. The entrance to St Fagans Castle. An imposing but plain façade, surrounded by an archway in front. Cardiff Bay Barrage. A set of levers designed to lift up the road below and let boats pass through into the bay. Sully beach. A sweep of stony foreshore, with Hayes Point in the distance.

I can’t believe that, after two decades of extreme temperatures in my mum’s attic, that my original transparent blue iMac still works

Fnarr and indeed fnarr
An unopened air fryer. On the box it proudly boasts ‘finishes at the same time’ which, let’s face it, is the dream right there

My typeface being all big and that on a chain of Spanish cash & carry stores. This is very surreal and I need to go back to Spain to see it for myself

I suspect we’re missing a comma here, but this is in Magaluf so maybe not
A picture of a cartoon cowboy mounted on a brick wall. There is a speech bubble which reads: Try to enter foreigner!!!

Just minding my own business in Peguera, Mallorca, when I noticed the font I designed in the logo of a chain of local supermarkets
A smiling buffoon in front of a small supermarket shop front. The orange and white sign reads: Supermarket Coaliment A supermarket shop front sign which reads: Supermarket Coaliment - compra saludable

Palma is effing massive
A view of Palma de Mallorca from a distance. It is possible to see the sweep of the bay, a huge marina and the cathedral behind.
