As well as various scribblings in notebooks I've kept a detailed digital journal for the past ten years.

Of course, I wish I had started earlier with that. But it's like planting a tree. The best time to start a journal was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. 😀

(I use simple txt files - one for each month. And, currently I put them all together in Obsidian. Works really well now and hopefully future-proofed to some extent.)

Absolutely loved this Substack post from Anna Codrea-Rado. I have notebooks in most of these categories. 😀

'No. 13 The blanks' made me feel better, and a fraction less guilty, about all the empty notebooks that I own.

Sadly no teen diaries - I do go back about 21-22 years though with my notebooks, starting with a series of small black moleskines.

A new post on my 1 in 12 Substack this evening - some everyday colourblind problems. This week it was the Traitors (those pesky red/green pouches) and red-green LEDs on my Kindle.

Can you tell the LED colours apart? I can't.

Is Boris Johnson colourblind? My new Substack post - musing on the problems of graphs and accessibility for those of us who don't see quite as many colours.

The media was more interested in highlighting Johnson's apparent halfwittery when it came to reading graphs. Fair enough. <add shooting fish in barrel gif here>

But, I do find it amazingly common to see graphs that are pretty much unreadable for me.

Out on the fells today. I have no photos as I couldn’t feel my hands. But it feels important to mention days (most of them!) that aren’t Insta perfect.

It was filthy. Rain. Wind. Atrocious underfoot: from slush to hard ice. I teetered around and every single stitch of clothing on me was wet. I was able to wring out my gloves. Even the sprockers were like: “Really?”

Still I know I am lucky to be able to get out - even if it was a wee bit more type 2 fun. 😀

I’ll write more on this in the future but I think it's important to flag now to people who are colourblind - when it comes to blood in wee or blood in poo you can't trust your senses.

If in doubt there are tests that can do it. Don't be shy about telling your healthcare professional and get it checked.

Here's a short post I wrote on colourblindness and bladder cancer. We need to know more about the potential for people who are colourblind to present late with some cancers.

👉 2009 paper in NW England
👉 Small study of 200 patients presenting with bladder cancer
👉 Colourblind x3 as likely to have advanced bladder cancer
👉 Known that colourblind can't detect blood in bodily fluids as easily

Here are some quick snaps from Winder in the #Howgills in the Yorkshire Dales this morning.

My two sprockers were loving the snow, tumbling around each other, and loving life. The fell ponies are currently dotted all over the southern slopes of Winder looking over Sedbergh.

I’ve decided to start a Substack about colour blindness - colour vision deficiency. It affects 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. Lots of areas to tackle 😀

Finding people who are colourblind is not always easy so any reposts/sharing would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

This has been improving in recent years - and the FA has guidance on it. I understand the iconic nature of the colours involved in a Tyne-Wear derby - black/white stripes vs red/whites stripes - but this is a really poor decision today.

Currently watching huge #FACup game today - Sunderland vs Newcastle. I am #colourblind - the only way I can tell the difference between the two teams is by looking at shorts/socks. It is horrible and almost unwatchable. What are they thinking?

I've just tidied up my December reading list - 11 books total. Book of the month has to be Fire Weather by John Vaillant - brutal but brilliant. And not tricky to see how it won the 2023 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction.

I thought I had a decent handle on the problems with Big Tech - been thoroughly schooled by @pluralistic and his book, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation. (Link to Verso Books below.)

It’s been added to my Read Again list. Brilliant.
