@ASpittel A Hobonichi Techo (physical diary/planner) that I use more-or-less as a bullet journal. I find the habit of going through my tasks at the end of the day helps me forget about work, which leads to better sleep.

@NigelPDavies @LT_customer1st @autodesk @EEPaul In the response, Autodesk claim they will be focusing more on architectural features for a while. This is their roadmap. Says it all, really. (Green is done, blue is coming soon, stars are user requests)

@alistardean I believe bits of broken crockery was used to help drainage in plant pots. Carelessness means it would then end up in the garden.

@catalinmpit My attitude is: colour is subjective. No matter what scheme you go for, some will love it, some will hate it, and most won't even notice. Use any of the colour scheme generators and don't spend more than a minute on colours. You can always change later!

@WondWand @ramit Me neither. I just can't imagine paying attention to somebody reading for 8+ hours.

@shanselman As well as an internal monologue, I also often have an internal dialogue with an imaginary version of a real person. Sometimes, when I have a real conversation with that person, I think they must be bored because I've already told them the story!

Can't wait to read this - total CAD geek-out!

[Lynn Allen @Lynn_Allen]

Interesting (extensive) book on the history of CAD - "The Engineering Design Revolution". Free to read - impressive insight on the humble beginnings of all the great #CAD companies.

People get tetchy about ivy but it's always been one of my favourite plants, for its own beauty and the wildlife buzzing around it and living on and in it. Obviously you need a good space so it grows enough to have adult leaves, and then flowers and berries, but it's so worth it.

A lovely blog post by my partner @CheriLaMay about a follow-on garden design course to her very popular Introduction to Garden Design course @RHSHarlowCarr #gardendesigncourse

After working with Nick Watson in various roles for 15 years, today is my last day at NW Architects.

I'm looking forward to starting my new job on Monday, but 1st I'd like to thank all my former colleagues / current friends for all the great times over the years!

@nichedesignarch Wow! This looks stunning, and just a little bit scary! I love it.

[Cheri LaMay @CheriLaMay]

Had fun designing this windswept #Yorkshiregarden high up Keighley Moor! Clients loved the curves reflecting the dry stone wall patterns in the landscape & belt of pines and birches to shelter fruit trees, tender plants & family. #SpiritofPlace #gardendesign #newgarden

@randydeutsch Right now, I'm judging this book by its cover and it looks great. Can't wait to judge it on its content!
