In case you're wondering how things are going, I just sat down to eat my breakfast like this

One I meant to share from last week - #Cookie being absolutely gorgeous and looking out over her new domain!

Contrary to what his face says, #Morph is actually warming to #Cookie, albeit he'd like to spend more time with us than he currently does!

After a noisy morning of #Cookie barking, #Morph is enjoying a quiet doze in the sun

Yesterday #Cookie and I did a bit of paw programming

Not pictured is literally seconds before, #Cookie was trying to eat my cookie - I don't think she'd mind being a cannibal, but she doesn't understand chocolate is bad!

Today #Cookie has been a mix of very cute, doing some great training with Anna Dodson and having a bit of separation anxiety, but she's been getting better and settling more easily.

My favourite moment was Anna giving me a kiss, and Cookie seeing this and immediately wanting to get in on it too, by giving me a nice slobbery kiss of her own all over my face 😂😝

She's been super cuddly too, and enjoyed one of many nice sofa naps earlier ☺

Being a dog owner isn't a walk in the park (pun intended) but it's been very rewarding so far 🥰

Very excited to announce the arrival of Anna Dodson and my new puppy, #Cookie 🐶🍪

She's a Romanian rescue from the wonderful Paws2Rescue and we're so happy to have a lovely forever home for her 🥰

Third birthday party cancelled cause of COVID, but at least I get this lovely Vegan birthday cake from Homemade Cafe all to myself - thanks Anna Dodson for Death By Chocolate 😋🎂🎉🍰🥂

#Morph has recently been enjoying being snuggled under the blanket, but often likes just enough room to peek out and keep an eye on me 😅

Got my #ukgc22 swag bag this afternoon, which is jam packed full of tasty treats, stickers, and some pretty cool options for remote conference work, like cue cards and icebreaker cards!

We saw a herd of deer earlier at Wollaton Hall which was pretty cool!

Pretty sure this game of #ApexLegends earlier was the best I've played - got my first Triple Triple badge, too!

Big thank you to the Tech Nottingham organisers for the early Christmas present - had a lot of fun building these today!

Finally gotten around to buying and building a #Lego #ApexLegends Brickheadz of Gas Daddy himself, which as a Caustic main is very exciting. Looking forward to having him protecting my desk with independent variables. Thanks to HarrisonBenedict1 and Richy_s on reddit for the kit!

Leftovers from the other night's roast made for a very nice lunch today, with some fresh veg and potatoes 😋

Had a good final #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham of the year tonight with Carol Gilabert and Pete!

Definitely embraced the mix of Hacker chic and Christmas wear for tonight's #NottTechParty

I thought I'd try something new with my hair after literally decades of the same haircut - I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out. As nice as it's been to have Anna Dodson cutting my hair over the pandemic, it's been nice to get it professionally done!

Tonight Anna Dodson and I did our first roast in our new air fryer and it was very good. Much easier than in the oven, and very yum! Don't worry, the gravy came after, I wanted to check that everything was especially good first!

First of December means only one thing - it's finally time to open mine and Anna Dodson's #Lego #Marvel advent calendar. Very excited to have a festive Iron Man zooming around

Really happy to see the Test For Coronavirus service now making notifications of tests optional - a sign of great #ServiceDesign following user feedback, and continually improving the service. Not only does it remind me something I've literally just done, but saves a lot of money for not sending notifications to people who don't need them. I appreciate that some folks may still want it, especially if you're testing for someone else, so it's great to get that level of control

Yeah I appreciate what you're thinking, Google, but using "your Linux" as a way to refer to my new laptop definitely doesn't work. Pretty sure it only works for "your Mac"

Not that I would forget about the wonderful team I left at #CapitalOne, the Purple Pandas, but my leaving gifts are going to remind me of them every day 💜 And thanks to everyone who chipped in for them, it's very appreciated!

Had a lovely first in-person #HomebrewWebsiteClub with Carol Gilabert and Anna Dodson today!

I'm envious of #Morph's ability to quite literally hide from the burden of responsibilities today

After a mishap with the boiler last night, #Morph is very happy that the heating is back on, and he can be extremely warm under a blanket, too!

Big thanks to @BrianDemers from Okta for the very cool t-shirt and stickers!

Things like this are why I'm going to miss my #LifeAtCapitalOne - getting a care package in the mail with some super yummy brownies! Really nice to have culture of appreciation ♥

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham

We didn't realise that getting a security camera with a night setting may not be the best thing, as we didn't realise we'd be inviting a demon into our house instead of #Morph

Glad I'd not done Ring Fit this morning, cause taming this lawn was quite the workout 😅

#Morph is enjoying a snuggly start to the long weekend

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham

#Morph is forever finding new ways to kill his toy mousey

So Anna Dodson and I may have bought another set of mugs at the weekend.... When a third of your mugs are cat related you know you have an unhealthy obsession with your little fluffy child 😹

Thank you Carol Gilabert for the most on brand t-shirt I could ever have 😂

Well #Morph is making the most of the Easter sun

Although #Morph has had a stressful few days with lots of cats trying to get onto his turf, it hasn't stopped him having a good weekend of snuggles

Another day, another #CoronavirusHaircut

Nothing says a great start to a three day weekend than pushing the boat out for some Doughnotts doughnuts! Must've been 18 months since we had them, but #Deliveroo's #TastyThursday deal was too good to pass on!

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - we had some good discussions about Choose Your Own Adventures and versioning!

#Morph has been very surprised to find himself outside this morning, and has been quite insistent that we let him back in, as he's not quite sure how to do it 😂

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham

Well Anna Dodson and I just got an awesome gift from @GoustoCooking in our box today - thanks a bunch, it looks super 😋🍫

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - we've had a good session!

What you can't see from this photo of #Morph is his appreciative meow of being wrapped up against this chilly January

Yet again, Anna Dodson has captured my relationship with #Morph, and how suddenly it goes south 😅

New face, who dis? A new lockdown calls for another #CoronavirusHaircut
