Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! (Not really, it was too long ago and I don't use it much.) #MyTwitterAnniversary

Trying #painting for the first time since highschool. Failing to remember how to #blend and shade, but I was able to get it done. Another #goblin for #goblinweek #art

@fredrin No wind, the clouds move in one direction across the sky, some plants move I think, but the leaves on the trees are still.

IT ONLY TOOK 27 YEARS... i paid off my loans, my parents loan for my parents, my grad school loans and my parents loans for my daughter. Pay off early people compounding interest is a bitch. I paid off @MyGreatLakes student loans! #HappyDay https://t.co/F8huUritVh #PaidInFull

New tube station for my afternoon commute, Barbican Station! More scenic walk at least to the station from the office. #tubelife #tfl #tube #London

On days I get to work from home, I like to treat myself to bacon and eggs.

@GoogleStadia World of Warcraft at close to 4000 hours, the number 2 spot goes to Skyrim at 3000 hours across PC, PS3, PS4, and Switch, and number 3 is Mass Effect at 500 hours... speaking of which, can we get Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Stadia?

Latte and croissant at and English coffee shop. Not significant in the larger scheme of things but very cool for me!

A white #bison in the Amazon London office. Apparently from the show American Gods. I love finding new stuff around the offices, and this is definitely in the top 10.

@katiejrice Save them for an offline journal? It is still your life and your thoughts are important. The mental dump to either a written or typed page, can be cathartic. Then later on, see the you from then compared to now. We forget happy memories easily; journaling is a good way not to.

Nothing special, but the view from my hotel. #quaranview It took until today to get my wake-up schedule working, the 8hour time difference has been really messing with my body clock. Last night was a mostly good restful night, thanks to an eye mask and ear plugs.

Day two of #Quarantine , posting my Covid-19 home test to the NHS. An exciting trip to the post box, and then right back to my hotel for a few more days :-( on the cool side i did get to see both pubs and both coffee shops on my street so I know where to go when I can move around

One more thing before moving, writing a #promotion doc for someone. It is probably one of the more important parts of my job and I do not want to block anyone's progress!
