Struggling to do the usual reading and writing that I use to do on a daily basis. I finished Andy Weir’s Artmeis last night. It took me a month to read it. Who takes a month to read a relatively light book?

A horrible round of golf today. Started poor, a run of good holes and then another horrible hole at the turn. Need to do better next time.

Fastmail’s aliases are a great way of protecting your main email address.

I had to contact a website to remove a business incorrectly listed under my home address.

The site was riddled with ads so I used an alias to protect my email address.

Just finished seeing Avengers End Game. An amazing conclusion to this part of the MCU. Fans will not be disappointed!

The context switching curse

It’s taken me such a long time to find my way back to what I was doing yesterday.

Some things are easier to find your way back to, but other things can take longer. I usually find that the bigger the task I was doing, the longer it takes to get back on track. It can get frustrating, especially when you’re making steady progress with something.

I’m starting to wonder though if by focusing on smaller tasks as well as keeping a log for the day, that I can begin to reduce the time it takes me to get back on track again.

No more big game politics please

It looks like the people of Scotland could be on their way for another vote on independence.

I’m not that particularly enthused about the idea. We just had an independence vote, and we’re still trying to get Brexit done and dusted. Now because of Brexit, we could be voting on independence again. To say I have politics fatigue is an understatement.

I’m starting to wonder if we’ll ever see politicians returning to the everyday matter of running the country instead of this seemingly never-ending cycle of big game politics.
