Funny trees around here.

Ok so it’s my lunchtime. In true work-from-home spirit I’m in for a quick forty winks. Mrs L and I have a conversation about my upcoming flights for work. The phone pings. Then this. #crossDeviceTracking gets me every time, it really does. You can’t prove it, but it’s mighty fishy sometimes.

You know, I’m just putting this out there to those of you on #Irish Mastodon ☘️, the Dunnes pizzas are incredible. And we are using the home delivery device now: it’s so easy. Here, Cujo has his eye on the last piece. He just ain’t getting it.

Also road testing timely Christmas pressie from the Missus: steel toe cap no fuss deep treaded workman’s wellies and super thick socks. So I’m triple socking it today and I’m toasty warm 😊

Ah to get out the HOUSE! Here in Donegal we have bad road conditions on high ground, more to come this week apparently. We live halfway up a mountain so this affects us! Plus work is busy, two higher level courses this week: advanced JS Web Development and React. Only in the jump seat for React, not training it myself this run as it overlapped with my other one, but here’s the qoto bit: pair programming, equal ownership of code to learn from each other.

Time to resurrect a startup? My erstwhile investor-to-be's mission statement:

Above all: don’t panic.

Erstwhile midwinter pagan festival appropriated by followers of the risen Christ and its anachronistic present-day mass hysteria.

#UFOI I just signed up on GitLab to follow the project with a view to possible collaboration and was met by a chunk of JSON in my phone browser 😂 - I’ll try signing in from the desktop instead

Seriously into #leftovers these days. Here’s a protein-packed tasty and nutritious lunch made in 5 mins from leftovers in the fridge.

Friday night: The Strand, Falcarragh. Saturday night: Teac Jack’s, Glassagh. Could get used to this #kidsAway 😊
