I’m deeply disturbed by the rise in racists abuse at football games across Europe. Part of me wonders if this problem has been around for longer but we’re finally taking action. I hope that’s the case, but everything I’m seeing from BAME players suggests that it’s getting worse.

I’m thinking of sharing a bit more of my photography with some stories about taking photos (and doing a bit more too!) I was wondering what would be the best publishing platform for this. MicroBlog is great for sharing one photo but not really a series with text between. Perhaps I’ll just stick with WordPress. Any advice @jack ?

Just updated my reading log and it seems I’ve read 16 books this year…I think there may also be a couple which I forgot to include (just remembered one of them!) and I’m still finishing off a couple more. Either way, that’s a lot more than I read last year.

I ordered a new clicky clacky keyboard. I guess I’m going to sell my LoFree, it has a sticky “]” key and I don’t really like the keyplacement…so i guess if anyone in Europe is interested, let me know.

I broke out my little watercolour set this morning to make a picture of my daughter. Still getting used to watercolours but I managed to do a bit of highlights and shadows.

I’ve been trying to use iA writer on everything I use and Typora on my work PC so I can jot down notes and simple idea for writing when inspiration strikes. Unfortunately this seems not to work at all. Even with forced saving my data doesn’t seem to sync and I’ve lost ideas and writing. So I’m not sure what I’ll do next…Evernote again :(
