The discipleship explored course has proven interesting. The second week felt very stilted. I noticed that some of the questions were so easy, people felt stupid for answering them. Plus they were so black and white that it didn’t inspire conversation. Week three was better. The questions were still a bit rigid but the topic caught the groups interest. It felt like the good kind of diversions like talking about unity and why we do actually struggle to see it. We also skipped a question then returned to a previous one as that felt the most relevant to where the conversation went. Perhaps it’s also a sign of better and more confident leading the sessions.

We have a week off next week so I’ve spent some time preparing in advance. I’m hoping that this positive trend continues.

Also we had the most chocolatey chocolate cake I’ve every had! It was awesome.

Today I’m grateful for a coffee date with my wife, and my daughter not having anxiety just before going into school (and for getting back to some drawing!)

I’m thinking of starting a legal business:

“Have you been a victim of a Premier League financial fair play violation that wasn’t your fault? If so, you might be eligible for compensation.”

I think there could be a lot of clubs AND players interested…

PRS making a deFender Silver Sky in response to Fender’s lawsuits is some top corporate trolling.

Fun little SEO finding: people in the UK use the US variation of one of our keywords 2x the UK spelling.

Going to my first PTA meeting tonight. Feeling excited and ready to be underwhelmed.

A day trip to Beachy head

We went down to beachy head near Eastbourne this weekend. I had never been as a kid but it was an incredible place to walk. I think the kids loved it too (except the dust that was blown into their eyes).

A foamy wave is gently washing over a pebble-covered shoreline with a mix of black, white, and brown stones.A red and white striped lighthouse stands in the sea near a white chalk cliff under a partly cloudy sky.A solitary lighthouse stands on a gently sloping grassy hill under a vast, partly cloudy blue sky.A solitary figure stands on the shore, silhouetted against a shimmering sea under a dramatic sky filled with clouds.

A few thoughts on the iPhone duo.

  • If it were the same price as a pro, I’d definitely want one as my next phone (and probably even now).
  • If it had Apple Pencil support, I’d really think about using that as my sketchnote device.
  • I love the shape, I don’t know I’d actually like using that shape.

“We don’t need a style guide, they’re overrated and don’t help.”

6 months later and I’ve just spotted a sentence both with and without the oxford comma in it (one clause with, one clause without) and I can’t correct it because no one knows what is right or wrong.

Forgot how fun HAIM’s first album was; I do enjoy the “forgotten favourites” feature in YouTube Music.
