37k fans there today, Arsenal are now playing the majority of their games at the Emirates and it's so great to see this many folks there to watch! I wish we lived closer so we could go more often! (Second wish is that Southampton will get promoted from WSL2 so I can watch good teams visiting 😂)

Getting back to it today. 2 weeks of Xmas & holiday fun meant not a lot of working out, but it's good to have a reload - back to it for the new year today with this monster. (The good part was the croissants after, each month the gym has a Sunday where it's a community hang out) #crossfit #fitness

I've push v0.0.8 of the #PowerShell @vscode.dev Extension Pack! This update removes Gitlens due to commercial licensing and support of most of the major important features (blame, source control view) in vscode native, and adds my Crisp Logs extension for better log formatting!
