MRI on my bonce this morning just to check on the state of things before my next chemo cycle (starts on the 9th). Feeling very well so not overly anxious they’ll find anything extra in there - but it’s always a concern.

Enjoying some of the greatest music ever written over here. Glorious! I need to see this in person. Even better: playing it!

Loving Amsterdam! What a brilliant, beautiful city. The Van Gogh museum is a particular delight.

Meant to quote that. Same in the UK. Real change is so difficult because we’re ‘led’ by visionless suits who are slaves to corporate needs

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.

Loving this album! Good vibes throughout. My favourite band discovery in 2025 - Seawater is such a superb album - and these older songs are brilliant too. Yorkshire band, so of course they’re good rateyourmusic.com/release/comp...

Looks like I’m having a sweary day. The current news cycle seems conducive to making me cross about a lot of things. Time to turn it off & find things I enjoy - like listen to the new Mostly Autumn compilation album (which is great)

It's been a very quiet week. As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season. So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture. Have a nosy here gailmyerscough.co.uk

I keep two glasses on my bedside table at night: a glass of water and an empty one, because sometimes, when I wake up, I'm not thirsty.

I’d signed up for the Robin Hood Half but had to drop out after my cancer diagnosis. However, I’m bloody well going to run it in my own time because I really want to raise money for this incredible charity (CRY). I’m delayed but not deterred www.justgiving.com/page/david-r...

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

Wrote a bit more about how the *process of making software* is a social activity before it is a technical activity, and AI tools alienating us from that social activity directly undermine our ability to make software.
