I up two of the new Archaeology notebooks from Atoms to Astronauts and they arrived in the post today.
Nice to have a different colour from my usual collection of blue and green notebooks.

Just saying, Micro.blog’s photo challenge should be in October. Such a great time of year for photos. Well it is, from my back yard.

Another couple of Atoms to Astronauts notebooks arrived in the post this morning.
I’m going through these at quite a pace but they’re an absolute joy to use. I try and grab a couple at a time when there’s a sale on for them.

Picked up these A6 notebooks that Atoms To Astronauts were selling. This set of notebooks comprises of covers from maths, chemistry and physics.
Just 48 pages in each notebook which I didn’t think was a lot but it’s the same as a standard Field Notes notebook.

A first pass at my own Micro.blog theme. I have more CSS than I actually wanted, but making it readable with just enough CSS was the goal for today. I now need to determine what to add or edit to enable it to work with Micro.blog, so I can upload it.

Picked up a couple more of these notebooks from Atoms to Astronauts.
Good quality paper and the covers are superb. Picked up the astronomy and geology notebooks this time.
They’re catching on in the Lang household as my youngest asked for a couple as well.

Cracked my laptop cover so put the replacement cover I have on.
On the downside I lose all the stickers I had on the old one. On the upside I get to sticker up the new one!

I’ve managed to walk during my lunch hour three days in a row.
I have a meeting tomorrow at lunchtime though, so I may need to reschedule my walk for the morning instead.

Walking the local trails with Jennifer this afternoon. Even on this grey and cold day, it’s still a great place to walk.

I had more fun with ThreeJS tonight. I increased the size of the board and added some trees and boulders to it. I am now at a point where I will focus more on building a representation of the board as an object to start moving my character around the board.

I continued to make some progress with ThreeJS and TypeScript tonight. I managed to draw a tiled board, move it around the screen with the mouse and be able to change my field of view with a slider.

Really happy with the avatars Andy Carolan did for me. Sprung for the additional backgrounds as well. Might have to see if I can get a golf one for next year!

Start of a week long holiday for us up at St Andrews while Ethan plays a competition up the road at Tayport. Got a nice Airbnb in St Andrews. A couple of days exploring planned.
