Lovely sunrise over Hassocks station this morning.

A winter sunrise over Hassocks Station in the UK's South Downs.

This morning’s wisdom from the crack-of-dawn trip to the pool for my daughter:

A whiteboard reading "motivation is what gets you started. habit is what keeps you going"

SUPpers and swans.

Trying it out now for my Mastodon needs…


I can’t quite bring myself to delete my last copy of Twitterific. I’ll do it soon, but it still saddens me. The final end of an era that once brought me great joy.


iOS, macOS and watchOS updates all ready for you in Software Update.


The tide was far enough out today that we actually had something approximating sand! -

Touching.
