This year I discovered you can DOI software... and it’s been a game-changer!

After years of working on my web apps (fuelled mostly by insomnia), I’ve finally given my projects the recognition they deserve 😃

Major bucket list item ticked off in Norway. We went dog sledding in Geilo and it was so much fun.

Been in Norway for three days and eaten so much incredible gluten free food I may never go home.

A clip from last week's @lateralcast.com where so many of my niche subjects come up and make me look much smarter than I really am.

The episode where the things I obsessed over as a child all came up! (Autism has some uses after all).
I'm on the latest episode of Lateral with Tom Scott. Come listen to me, @kipheath.bsky.social and Carson Woody try to solve weird questions.

Proving that my tactic of being annoying until I get what I want has worked- stickers are back at Puzzle Pint!!

I've seen so many photos of incredible culinary accomplishments today so balancing it out with my "post-natural disaster" gingerbread house.

Merry Christmas all!

Back from my quick trip to Warsaw. Saw some fun sights, learned to make pierogi and came home feeling Christmassy. 🎄

Eight years since my husband officially topped all other Christmas presents.

And eight years since Nox shuffled out of the carrier, had a quick sniff and immediately decided H's lap was the place to be.
