I think it is time to go back to a desktop computer and land line phone. Linux operating system Vivaldi browser land line phone set to silent and straight to voicemail

A black-and-white scene depicts two figures on a smooth surface. The left figure is a silver humanoid robot with a rounded head and smooth body. The right figure wears a shiny silver jumpsuit (long sleeves, full-length pants) with hands at sides. Behind them, a large curved structure with a rectangular doorway (featuring horizontal lines) and two tall light stands with multiple bright spotlights are visible.

I recently stopped using a Chromebook laptop because it comes from the evil empire. I have been using my iphone only for a short while now. I am getting used to the smaller screen and I am relearning some of my writing apps at a pretty quick rate as well. The big benefit of this is that I have started using my notebooks, journals and writing supplies once again. They are used primarily for brainstorming and rough drafts for my writing. The final drafts will all be digital. It feeds my soul with creativity, it sometimes nourishes my mind with good memories. Writing in general makes me happy especially writing with a favorite notebook and pen. I am now employing three different notebooks, my favorite pens and all the rest of my writing / journaling gear (in the picture)

A desk scene features a spiral-bound notebook open to a page with a Snoopy drawing and a compass rose stamp, labeled "WILD & FREE" at the top left and "ME & YOU" at the bottom right. To the left of the notebook are two sets of Crayola colored pencils (one set with blue, green, purple, red; another with orange, yellow, brown, green) and a pack of mechanical pencils with red, black, and blue tips. Behind the notebook, a yellow Crayola Colored Pencils 50-count box is visible. To the right, there are red and black "INK PAD" containers, several rubber stamps, a yellow pencil, a clear case of 10 mechanical pens, and a small eraser box. Red text "[@]Ttroika" is overlaid on the right side of the image.

Also recently noticed:

Fota Island Wildlife Park is the same age as me though seems it was always there. A similarly aged friend remarked "it never looked new", I agree.

Dublin Pride also the same age. This one older than I had assumed. A pleasant surprise, fair play to the priders of the early eighties.
