Repeat after me: No I won't rebuild in my site just because I'm getting the itch again.

ah that makes sense, I didn't see it at first and instinctively went for logo at the top. I think it's a hardcoded behaviour these days.
As a quick test I went through all my active tabs and only one (Metallb Docs) didn't have something (either logo or text) in the header that wasn't clickable.

@npub1080…cr2f odd question but what was the design/ux decision behind not making your logo a link? I'm intrigued!

I can't recommend them enough. My dad and brother both have them as well. The workmanship is amazing given the price point. A good jumping off point for mid level prices. Have you seen the 1937 Bauhaus? It's quite something.

haha can totally understand! There's definitely a price to worry scale. I'm on holiday at the moment and brought 2 watches, my trusty gshock for the pool and Stowa Fleiger for evening.
Thanks, I'm trying to blog more but work is keeping me very busy. I have a watch collection post in drafts that I keep meaning to finish.

on a train to London I was sat across from a man wearing a Panerei and I complemented him on it. We got talking about watches and I mentioned I didn't wear my engagement watch (Stowa Ikarus) because I was afraid to damage it. He asked why I even have it, he then showed me the dings and bumps on his and said this is mine now and it's unique. Stuck with me ever since and I now really appreciate every watch I have.
Hope you enjoy your new watch!

what watch are you thinking of for you 40th or is it a secret? I'm getting close to mine and it'll just about match our 10 year wedding anniversary so I'm looking at an Omega Speedy or a Nomos Zurich. Both *way* outside my budget but it's a special occasion.
