It seems I've been away for the whole year. Back here to read the real news.

If you ever need anything, feel free to email or call me. I'm easy to find if you Google me, on LinkedIn, via my website... ;-)

Sorry, I have missed your message! I don't have notifications on and don't visit bluesky every day.

Oh no, hope you're otherwise ok. Panda isn't a bad look.

First move of 2025: I cancelled my Audible membership and signed up for Kindle Unlimited which is much better value.
I have access to e-books, audiobooks and magazines for less than a tenner.

My 14yo beat her 21yo sister at chess for the first time, proving the theory that if you play stronger/smarter/more experienced opponent, you will improve your game to rival them eventually.

On way to Birmingham International Airport to collect out 21yo who's flying home for Christmas in a little Logan Air plane with tartan wings and tail. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yes, hip, all good. I do remember your amputation. Hopefully, you will get the prosthesis soon. You've been waiting long enough.
Do you still have the black cat?

I'm fine, thanks, partially bionic now. How are things with you?

It went well! Such an improvement to my gait already. Night still a bit rubbish, but it will get better.

Hello. I'm now also a bit bionic. As of 12 days! ;-)

(...) emotional expression in the mother tongue is felt more intensely, regardless of whether the emotion is positive or negative (...)

Explains why I am unable to swear in Polish, but don't have the same qualms about it in English!

I'm having a break from work in December to recover from a surgical performance upgrade (aka hip replacement). Still enjoy playing with words and named this spot in my bathroom - a crutchpark. #xl8 #1nt

Joining Bluesky in 2024 is very different to joining Twitter in 2012. Back then, it felt like entering a room full of strangers. Now, it feels like coming to a party and seeing familiar friendly faces all around.
