So bed bound in hospital week 3.
Who needs some iOS dev/support done? New MBP and an enough to cover my expenses is all I need. This would really help at the moment, please share, follow, advise, employ as you can.
Thx J.

Have to admit it at the mo. I’m technically disabled what with the arthritis in my knees and pick a random joint. Just want a wfh job while it gets sorted. Everything is hybrid these days at best 🤷‍♂️. Getting to the end of it all. #iosdev #swift #swiftui #job

I tried to share this on Insta, but, weirdly, it's not there. Every other song on the album is.
It's a song about peace.

Even I’m up early today on account of a left ankle that’s agony. Tea n painkillers #FuckArthritis

So all my stuff arrived today. No way the van can get outside my house here, so 10 trips like this to shuttle it all there. And it was hot… #Andalucia Whoever said Minis where impractical 😂

Not falling asleep at night. Sod counting sheep.
It’s teeth tapping and time signatures, got a nice swung 4/4 with some triplet fills down.
Now we’re onto weird time signatures. Think I’ve covered every prog rock song by now 😂💤😴💤

So apart from the normal stuff in #Swift #SwiftUI I do fun stuff just using SwiftUI. So why can’t I get an #iOS job?

Had an interview last Tuesday. Agent very communicative etc, call me Friday he said. Now COP Tuesday and have I heard anything? No. Fucking useless.
I give up. I've had all my ducks lined up for the past year apart from work, which is quite frankly important. So starving to death by the weekend...

End of tether has been reached. Literally a week before starvation sets in and I lose the will to live. Everything in life sorted except getting someone to pay me to work from either of these places. Or anywhere at the moment quite frankly. #iOS #dev #Swift #SwiftUI

So another job rejection.
Getting to the point where there is no point to my existence if I can't support it. 🤷‍♂️

After a shit week, time to nip to the AtoJazz festival here in Sofia for beer and some cool music to hopefully improve my mood. #sofia #atojazz

Rod Stewart at #Glastonbury absolutely fantastic when he fucks off and lets the girls sing!

As much as I like Neil Young I’m not convinced of this headline performance. Plus the sound on the BBC is shite. #Glastonbury

This is out now. I couldn't be more thrilled; part retrospective, part new songs, but they all fit the title.
I really need this to fly, and I think it deserves to. Please share and support if you can.

Today, Bulgaria is one step closer to adopting the euro.

This will mean more investment and trade with euro area partners, and more stability and prosperity for the Bulgarian people.

Bulgaria will also take its rightful place in shaping euro area decisions.

Congratulations!

Thirteen years ago I walked the Camino to Santiago all 800km of it. On this day I got to see the Botofumerio at the Cathedral at the end. Quite a spectacle!!! Just found my YouTube video I posted back then. #Camino #Galicia #WorldsLongestPubCrawl

In my quest for a new iOS job I knocked together a showcase video showing some of the more fun stuff I'd done. All the code is on my GitHub but people don't tend to look that closely.
Here it is... UIKit and SwiftUI goodness!

I’m at Malaga Airport. I seem to have lost a sandwich I made earlier. I’m hoping it didn’t fall out in my car which is in the long term parking for some time….. 👃 😧
