Remember when #Apple was famed for attention to detail and everything “just worked”? Pretty sure this button in the Apple TV+ UI is supposed to say “skip recap” or something similar.

Sent my husband a message which I know he will be super excited to receive but he’s asleep cos he was on a night shift and I’m all

I’m not a massive PSB fan but I’d consider buying this just for the cool packaging! 😍

I switched back to iOS last week and while I’m generally happier I do miss my minimal Home Screen from Android (Niagara launcher and Kwidget). Working on it using Widgey and Home Assistant. The text is dynamic based on various sensors and helpers, it’s not live but updates throughout the day.

My iPhone Home Screen. The background is overlapping waves in shades of orange at the top and green at the bottom. It features a large widget with the weather, time and date in a rectangle at the top, and some text below which reads “Evening, Brad. Rob is at work. Dryer needs emptying. Water the plants!” All the text is white. There is space below for some more fun stuff I plan to add later. The only app icons are in the dock. I’m using the transparent theme so the icons look white.

lol Rob just informed me that while I was sending hilarious messages about how Oran is a “poor oppressed minority in our wonderful three-way relationship” to our group chat, the nice lady at Specsavers had his phone in her hand trying to sort out his hearing aids. 😅

Going through my photos sorting them out before I switch phones and found this place we drove past in Iceland before I could get my phone out to get a photo of the sign. 😏😆

Rob always has the TV on when we go to bed. Tonight's movie is Maleficent. She just said "Go away, I don't like children" and Oran said it's like when he and I first met. 😆

My parents have gone home! They arrived mid-July, it's been a looooong 8 weeks or so. Gonna spend an hour putting the house right and then spend the rest of the day just enjoying having the place to ourselves again. ☺️

I booked the rest of this week off work, felt like I needed a break. Not much planned, my parents are here until tomorrow so this is my last full day with them, and then we have a few days without them to decompress and relax. Gonna spend today catching up on Silo and messing with Home Assistant.

Seriously, we fucked this morning, I had a wank after he left, and I'm STILL horny enough to post a nude pic (which I almost never do). Maybe I caught some kind of horny disease in Iceland. God help Oran when he arrives on Thursday!

I'm absolutely fucking feral since we got back from Iceland! 🥴 Like a horny teenager, can't get enough of my husband.

First night with an air quality monitor in the bedroom... Oh dear. This is with two of us in the room and the windows slightly open; we regularly have Oran here too. Kinda wanna see how bad it gets with him here too before I try anything to mitigate it!

A graph from the CO2 sensor in our bedroom showing the levels last night. It quickly climbs above 1000ppm and within an hour are it's above 2000ppm and stays there. The peak level was around 2700ppm. There's a dip towards the end when Rob opened the en suite door, followed by a peak when we were fucking. 😜

A description of the effects of levels of CO2 concentration.

250-400ppm Normal background concentration in outdoor ambient air
400-1,000ppm Concentrations typical of occupied indoor spaces with good air exchange
1,000-2,000ppm Complaints of drowsiness and poor air.
2,000-5,000 ppm Headaches, sleepiness and stagnant, stale, stuffy air. Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may also be present.
5,000 Workplace exposure limit (as 8-hour TWA) in most jurisdictions.
>40,000 ppm Exposure may lead to serious oxygen deprivation resulting in permanent brain damage, coma, even death.

We redecorated our bedroom recently. It's not totally finished, needs some pictures on the walls and a few bits for the final polish, but I really love it. It's quite dark even in the daylight, but I don't mind that. It's a bedroom, it's for resting in, and I find it really restful. 💚

Fleeced one more time for breakfast in the airport, now we're boarded for our flight home. What a weekend! 🇮🇸🐻❤️ #RABOT #RVKBEAR

Us on the plane waiting to take off. I look a bit manic after a stupidly early start and not enough coffee.

We spent our last night in Iceland eating soup from a bread bowl and freezing our bums off in an ice bar. Worth it! Had a fantastic trip, some great memories, we'll be back! #RABOT #RVKBEAR

Apparently the bears prefer the Blue Lagoon because you can't see what's going on under the water... 👀 I wouldn't like that cos my brain would tell me there are sharks and sea monsters under the water. 😖

Today is the last day of the scheduled #RVKBEAR stuff, a farewell brunch, a bunch of the bears went off to the Blue Lagoon but we decided to stay and explore Reykjavik since we haven't had much time in the city. Early start tomorrow, so a quiet night tonight I think. #RABOT

A selfie of me on the Rainbow Road in Reykjavik.

The three of us on the Rainbow Road. Rob has his Mr Bear Ireland sash on cos we had been taking some promo shots.

The Hallgrímskirkja, it looks like a rocketship made from basalt columns.

Oran standing under a pub sign which reads "The Irishman Pub". He looks very excited.

Today we went to the incredible Sky Lagoon just outside Reykjavik. Designed to sink into the landscape with black lava rocks and turf and moss on the roof, the heated infinity pool blends seamlessly into the ocean, with views of jagged volcanic peaks in the distance. Absolutely gorgeous spot!

And we're off! I'll be using our usual hashtag for trips if you want to avoid a gazillion probably boring updates. #RABOT (Rob And Brad On Tour, or maybe Rob And Brad Oran Tour this time!) #RVKBEAR

Three men in a car. We're all in black tops, Rob and Oran have caps on. Maybe I should have worn a cap...

A photo of the car stereo playing "Mum's Gone To Iceland" by Bennet. You can also see the cute little bear pilot air freshener with the propeller that spins when the air con is turned on.

I was super excited for the PS5 upgraded version of Witcher 3 but found it really awful to play, the controls just didn't feel right after playing modern games for so long. Didn't get far at all. Gonna give the new "complete" version a blast, hopefully they fixed it.

Absolutely infuriating that I can do everything relating to my credit card online apart from cancel it. That takes a phone call, and I've been waiting on hold for 18 minutes so far... It's almost as if they want people to give up and just keep the card or something.

Flew to Chicago, got drunk a bit, took an awesome multi-day train ride over the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas to San Francisco, where I got drunk again.
