Catching up on some photographs from the last few days. We went down to visit Windmill Hill City Farm a few days ago. Set on four acres in the center of the city of Bristol, it has grown so much over the decades that I didn’t recognize it. An inspiring venture and the first of its kind in Bristol.
Oh my, a major update to Tot has just been released. It includes line spacing, something that I had requested for my aging eyes. Thank you to the folks at The Iconfactory for that. And for those who wish to carry Tot around with them on their wrist, there is now a Apple Watch app.
I’m wanting to “go it alone” with Apple Maps, but Google Maps I’m still finding is more accurate. Apple had us walking 25 minutes between two destinations, Google 10 minutes. A phone to call to the venue had Google was the more accurate, and for my mother that was very important.
It has been a busy few days, while managing jet lag at the same time. I have so enjoyed being mum again, my sister and her husband and walking the streets of Bristol. At the same time, the silence of this early morning is pure gold. Nourishing.
💤 Those steps through Bristol yesterday gave me my first good nights sleep since arriving. Grateful.

🚶♂ I apparently have walked 22,069 steps today. I’m taking the evening off.

I just received an email to say that Bear 2 private beta is coming. Mac first, iOS later. It has taken a while to get this far, and still doesn’t appear to be rushing to prime time, but I’m interested. I stopped using Bear, and prefer plain text files for my notes, but might be giving this a try.
I never feel as though I have arrived in Bristol until I have taken a walk across and am standing on The Downs.
🌧 Waking up to a wet, wet, wet Sunday morning.

😮💨 “Those feet were made for walking…” and now they are ready to fall off. A day of city walking.

September 2022 Hello and welcome to my September 2022 newsletter. I am back in the UK visiting family, staying with my mother. Last night my sister and her husband flew in from New Zealand. Distractions are at a maximum. I’m grabbing some early morning hours to pen these words. I was going to say that two things have marked this month for me - post COVID symptoms and then this trip to England and onto to Europe for a family wedding.
👧 Up late waiting for my sister to arrive.

🌧 The rain is pouring outside, the temperature has dropped and this is the first true autumn weather that I have experienced in a good number of years.
