Notes
Quitting Twitter has been on my mind but there are people there I don’t want to lose touch with. I wish they would come to micro.blog. Instead I’ve created a private list called “Favourite People” and I’m being absolutely ruthless about who gets on it. Let’s see how it goes.
It cost twice as much as my TV but I’m glad I bought the Sonos Beam. The upgrade in TV sound quality is amazing. Voice control is a bit patchy but that doesn’t really bother me.
I’ve won £10 for last place in the work World Cup sweepstake. It’s £10 more than nearly everyone else so mustn’t grumble. Thanks, Panama.
There are still quirks with this WordPress theme that annoy me but I don’t want to switch because I still like the layout and I’ve customised it enough to be distinctive from the standard version.

It’s absurd that Instapaper is still offline for European users. I’m afraid they’ve lost me and I’m now looking at IndieWeb alternatives.
