Moving in day to around a year and a bit later. I love my home office a lot although I don’t use it much as an office to be fair, however it’s my own space to game, code and watch YouTube/ sports (and hide) 🤣👍

Weird my M2 Max 2023 MBP has started producing odd crunchy sounds when using external monitor speakers. A restart seems to fix it, oh well so much for extolling the virtues that external monitors seemed to behave much better on M chips than intel, although to be fair I don’t have screen issues.

Ok eero maybe owned by Amazon now but the eero plus subscription thing sure does a good job on blocking stuff. And gives me other tools I paid for independently before in one cheaper annual price. I wouldn’t mind if the (beta) gaming optimisation could be scheduled or set to only be on for X hours

The lock in always put me off and didn’t quite gel with my workflow but lots of people did like it so I think I agree they should have kept small and simple

Lebanese Moussaka

Before I went vegan I was a massive fan of Greek Moussaka. I have a small appetite and am in the bracket of small and often, it’s a pain as eating out often means I waste food but Greek Moussaka was one dish I could just keep eating and eating and eating.

Randomly after visiting an Art opening event in Southampton at Gods House tower - by Iranian artist Bijan Moosavi as part of their Art for Climate Action Programme, it was an immersive exhibition submerging you in a fictional near-future climate dystopia created by neoliberal negligence and greed in 2058 and had representation of the space we stood, which basically meant the sea level swamped most of the city. (Not enough to get to my house mind)

Anyway I am not know for my spontaneity but I said to my wife let’s go for dinner and so as we walked home we looked at places to eat, that the advantage of living in a city indeed, so we picked a Lebanese restaurant, we have always been fans of Lebanese food but I hadn’t eaten out or considered to search vegan Lebanese.

The [restaurant](Beity - 4sq.com/2PM4RUr) was lovely and they had a dish called Lebanese Moussaka which it turns out is vegan.

It is now one of my favourite dishes and since visiting the restaurant I have made it at home twice already. Although very different to Greek Moussaka it is again a dish I can eat and eat.

Here is a good article on the dish and crucially how to make it ! - dctr.pro/2os

I shall be looking up more Lebanese vegan dishes for sure.

I / the family too have a bad few years effecting our mental well being. I have personally also made some stupid decisions. I plan to attempt some rest and reset when I finally take some leave/ staycation in August and get back to my happy place (which based on what I have is literally here!)
