I’m used to dealing with scraped knees on the kids but now the cat has cut her lip out in the garden. Hopefully it won’t scar!

I discovered the Insights tab on the Garmin Connect app and now I’m feeling much better about my #swimming!

I’m not even on the distance chart, and I’m on the right side of the pace chart

@ideasasylum @ideasasylum dopey face cos it was post-swim. I never want to swim with bands again 😖

New t-shirt alert 🚨 #childOfThe70s

How’s your morning? An old client misfiled their accounts so now Revenue are looking for €1.2m in undeclared income in my accounts 🤣

2.4k 🏊‍♂️ today:
First 1000m in 17:18, next in 17:07 💪

Ember Tetras in the #aquarium and some nice O2 pearling

Loving the new black #aquarium background. Really shows off the Ember Tetras, Cherry Shrimp, and plants

Decided I’m going to paint the back of the small aquarium black (mocked up here using a bin bag). It’ll show off the fish and plants better

Barbecued smoked steak this evening. Pretty close to my best work I reckon

The sleep monster

We experimented with letting the kitten have free reign of the house at night.

6AM status: woke to find the kitten climbing the curtains and diving onto the bed.
Experiment terminated.
Kitten has been confined to the utility room again

Either hand-pick a GIF or don't bother at all. /giphy's russian roulette is possibly the worst idea in the history of software

I’m not sure when I’ll dial it back to 3 swims/week. A swim every day is great for forming a habit but it’s not necessarily very sustainable in the long-term

I’m also feeling much better from swimming every day. Better form, better fitness, and better mindset to cope with the longer sets

Solid 3k swim after yesterday’s disappointment:
3x100m
3x200m
3x300m
3x400m
and I was really shifting that last 400m — 6m26s is pretty close to my best time 💪

yeah, I'm revamping our Paypal integration with some new marketplace APIs.

It started well but now I'm remembering why each API call should come with a free bottle of rum 🥃
