The things I’m up to right now

Last updated 4th March 2026

You’ve seen my blog and about page so you know what I’m interested in and how I ended up doing what I do, but what am I up to right now?

Happily contracting as an interaction designer in UK government again, after 3 months out post-Sage (I really needed that time); it feels good to get back into the nitty gritty of design
Enjoying our new feline friends, Stevie and Milo
Loving our new house and its view…; it’s a decent size, so we (successfully!) hosted a Hogmanay party of 20-ish people to test it out
Helping my wife set up her business as a psychodynamic counsellor
Playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with my son on his new Switch; I last played it when it was first released and I remember almost nothing, so it’s great to be solving all the puzzles together!
Starting a habit of 50 press-ups and 50 squats every morning
Still struggling to get into a rhythm with the running; I’ll get there, but it’s tougher than it has been in the past
