Last of the summer adventure days in the north and west
Happy Easter weekend at home for me 😷
Trying to be more positive on the outside
A look back on a year filled with grimness but hope on the horizon for better times ahead.
Almost a year ago I set myself a challenge to attain certification as a Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS). This is a summary of how I prepared for the exam, and hopefully some motivation for others to learn more about web accessibility.
💉 Pfizer dose 1 - fine but tender arm 💪🏻
💉 Pfizer dose 2 - tender arm plus drained 💪🏻🥱
This month marks five years since I started organising Homebrew Website Club London. I spent some time looking back over how it all started and survives to this day, even through the challenges of a global pandemic.
Lockdown boredom level 6 reached: responding to threads on Nextdoor about locals not social distancing on the pavement
Struggling on clinging to hope in these short, bleak, damp winter days, making the most of our few freedoms to briefly sample the nearby countryside once a day. Things may never be the same as before but better times will come

Dearly miss meetups like @LondonCSS and seeing everyone irl ..but all credit to everyone keeping them going in some form online through this very tough and challenging period in all our lives
Ah the fresh plentiful smell of carbon monoxide in the morning. Pre-covid levels of traffic on Tonbridge High Street this morning. Double troubles with A21 incident closure and roadworks

Not commuted into London in over a month. Struggling like everyone else to come to terms with how life may never be the same but grateful to have the freedom to still explore this beautiful countryside on my doorstep
1 week in: Social distancing. Slight anxiety. With the exception of video calls haven't spoken to a single person face-to-face since. Good spirits mostly. Thankful I can WFH. Many can't WFH, may loose their job, their business, their livelihood.
