I went to Sheffield Print fair at the weekend. 2nd year in a row. I love this. Some truly great local artists. Not _quite_ on the same level, but I was inspired to finally finish this in my lads room 🐙 - my 1st mural!

Today I hit 2x art exhibitions in #Sheffield - Comparisons are bad form, but life is short:
- A Leg Named Brian: Memoirs by Pete McKee - Earnest, heartfelt & TIL a kids football could have a class system of its own
- Modern Toss: 21st Anniversary - Dismissive, disinterested. It felt like home, yeah?

Saw #TheLindaLindas in Manchester a couple of weeks ago. Overjoyed to discover a live performance on a level with their two excellent albums. 1st ever gig for my girl - we stood at the side with her on my shoulders & even got a photo with the band.
I told her not all gigs are this good!

My local city council (#Sheffield) promotes a #BetterPoints app to encourage fitness & #ActiveTravel of its population - you get 1 quid off a coffee for every 9000 miles walked, etc.
The #UX is laughably crap in many ways but this is a favourite. Here is a very wet 2mph drive I took yesterday:

Always with this "generally" bullshit. You *can't* duplicate a form using #formcarry. Why not save #AI responses for things you're a million miles away from getting right? (aside from #theGrift of course).
I'm lucky, I can sniff my way around simple dev stuff. But what of beginners? God help them.
