๐ŸŽ‰ Workโ€™s birthday party

Ate pizza and doughnuts and pranced around taking selfies together

๐Ÿ’ป User testing at work

Took part in some user testing for our latest project - first time Iโ€™ve done it in years and it was so very satisfying.

๐Ÿ Friendโ€™s birthday meal

Delicious (vegetarian!) food and fancy drinks

๐Ÿค– Binged Simone Giertz on Youtube

My dog seems to love her voice so I popped on a video for her and ended up rewatching her content for hours. If you havenโ€™t heard of her before, she is the Queen of Shitty Robots

โœจ Redesigned and refactored this site

The design wasnโ€™t working for me any more and I wanted a cleaner look with more flexibility in space usage.

๐ŸŽช Festival season!

Music, sun, mud, camping. Green Man highlights: Voya, Melin Melyn, Self Esteem (obviously) and Sudan Archives.

๐Ÿฆ  Got sick

Caught COVID-19 at the festival. Second time Iโ€™ve been infected. Got it pretty bad, it was intense but quick.

๐Ÿ–ฅ Office tidy up and reshuffle

Iโ€™ve filled the bookshelf with some old notebooks, my collection of greeting cards, and my salt lamp. The room feels more intentional now and itโ€™s easier to get to the window
