I like Monzo. Buy not the notifications you get on your spending. It’s like having your mother watch your current account.
Found the perfect place for a weekly review. @macgenie Supported by a large glass of Rioja and an iPad Pro.
Who am I today? Who do I want to be tomorrow?

Sleep Credit
I’ve been recording my sleep for the last few months using Autosleep. Whilst I’m sure I’m actually improving my health and getting a better nights sleep it’s also an odd thing to watch the sleep credit percentage change. I think it’s impossible to not earn sleep credit at the weekend and spend over the course of the working week. Any random late night hits your sleep credit as hard as any large financial bill hitting your checking account. Just like in financial terms, surely the purpose of gaining credit is to spend it.
Later. Much, much later.
Hooked up an AppleTV (3rd Gen) to the TV. Lost remote in 23 minutes…
Dropped my phone on to carpet, but it bounced on the corner of a table on the way down. Screen scratched around C-V keys to a level I can feel with my fingernail but thankfully not my thumbs when typing.
Moon++ app. Nice. But I’m not sure of the value of it.
Donald Trump, the BBC and what happens when a woman of colour speaks her truth
Wow. First his brother quit’s then Johnson’s sister describes his behaviour as reprehensible on SkyNews
I used to think I was new to macOS. But now I know I’ve been using it long enough to recall the days when (as awkward as it is) ⇧⌃⌘4 took copied the selected area of the screen. Rather than a completely random mix of behaviours.
That sinking feeling when you commit to an 18 month contract and then find a cheaper deal after it’s too late to cancel
There’s much to let me only think of this negative context, but there’s positives too. I just need to look for them. derekpeden.com

Checking out my new local bar. Nice to have somewhere to go, even if no one knows my name.
Watching the relay.fm Podcastathon for St Jude’s Children’s research hospital.
Back on Micro.blog after a foreseen but sadly unavoidable absence.
Connected. Or rather re-connected. Averaging 45Mb/s down, 10Mb/s up. A dramatic improvement from 10 days of tethering.
My rucksack is smelling slightly fruity, thanks to just finding 2 banana’s which have been blackening in there since Friday.

Surprised to see there’s not more shortcut keys in the Micro.blog Mac App. Spent 20minutes with Keyboard Maestro but ultimately I’d prefer to see reply, favourite and view conversation actions hard-coded. // @manton
Growing the beard a bit. Haven’t yet got past the scruffy and itchy stage.
I’m still really not enjoying dance of reorganising apps and folders on iOS 12. I’m really hoping this gets fixed in iOS 13. After 5 minutes of trying to move the Micro.blog app to folder on my dock I’ve given up. It can live in it’s current place for a few more weeks at least.
