Day: 7 April 2026

  • I've lived in a LOT of different places these last few months while we've been arranging a place to live for the next six months or so of our house repairs. Each new AirBnB has had its pros and cons (and each hasn't felt like "home").

    But man, I really like the "garden office" at our current one. So nice to work in the sun!

    (I don't like the slow WiFi as much, but yeah... pros and cons!)
