Replied to Robert Jones on Twitter: "I'm becoming increasingly sentimental as I get older. I have a real fondness for hawthorn, probably because hawthorn trees bounded two sides of our garden when I was growing up.… https://t.co/S9w4hKOw0N" (twitter.com)

Listened Hiking in March 2018 (audio) – Colin Devroe from cdevroe.com

In the last year the app has increased in power so much, as well as gaining a Mac app, and now seemed like the perfect time to cover it. Today I thought I’d share a few bonus tips that were mentioned in the ...

I really enjoyed this episode of Automators. I’ve used drafts for a long time, one of my favourite iOS apps. Listening made me realise I still mostly use the older features. I need to spend some time getting up-to-date. A lot of digging to do in the shownotes.
