Spent a productive afternoon tidying up my Apple Notes, tagging and deleting, overhauling Apple Reminders, and culled my Bookmarks ready for the new year.

I’ve decided 2024 needs less complications and thought I’d start with decluttering and streamlining the tech side.

Me: Why are you playing Bucks Fizz

Her: Because I made dinner and it’s my place

Me:

Her: I might sing Land of Make Believe on NYE

Her: I’ll need backing vocals

Me: sigh

Been spending a little more time on Threads over Christmas and I’ve decided a nice quick way to get rid of the dumb takes is to block anyone with a blue tick I don’t recognise. My timeline is getting better every day.

They called assisted boarding and I swear half the plane lined up behind them. Herd mentality. The gate sign is also showing the delayed flight number but they called my flight so that’s not going to cause chaos at all. Thank goodness for priority boarding.

📺 Time to watch the Doctor Who Christmas special before I see spoilers. A Christmas episode introducing a new Doctor. What more could you want!

Time to fly. ✈️

Looking down the length of a plane from the aero bridge. Tail, wing and engine are visible.

🛫 Out of office set. Time to get on a plane and ignore work for 12 days.

I have to get through work today and then I’m done and on leave until 2 January. I have my list of things I need to finish so if someone asks for anything today I’ll be adding it to the 2024 list.

Working at our graduation ceremonies and one of the staff that help with putting academic staff in their robes gave me a lapel badge he made. He remembered I like badges for my jackets. It’s perfect for graduation ceremonies! 👨🏻‍🎓

A lapel badge pinned on a blue shirt. The badge is a black mortar board with red tassle above a rolled up white document with a red ribbon around it.

I’m working at a graduation ceremony this morning. It’s already 33°C at 7:45am. I feel for the students dressed very nicely to celebrate finishing university and end up being very sweaty just getting there. At least they’re in AC once they’re there. I’m leaving my AC on ready for when I get home.
