I really wanted a larger eInk device for reading (books, Pocket articles, Libby magazines, RSS etc) as well as a digital notebook and the Boox is proving up to the task. So much so, I have put my Remarkable 2 on eBay. Very impressed. And beautiful build quality to top it all off.

I’m going to try and post more to my Micro.Blog - I have MarsEdit as part of my Setapp subscription, so I’ve really no excuses for not doing so!

Finished reading: Fairy Tale by Stephen King 📚Definitely my favourite book of the year. Possibly also of the last decade. Absolutely loved it.

Good to be alive 😊

Love my new Kobo Libra Colour 😊 Can now catch up with all my lovely NASA reference books and my Pocket articles look so much better. Also enjoying the snappy new processor.

Finished reading: Watchers by Dean R. Koontz 📚 Just finished the Audio Book version - loved it 😊

How come it’s got so difficult to get basic ingredients, like mushrooms and rice, from UK supermarkets? Seems like I have to visit at least 2 big stores just to get a handful of ingredients to make dinner these days. Are we that screwed now that we struggle to get basic veg?
