I should clarify - the Teams meeting this morning was just with my boss, to ensure we could both get into Teams etc. The ACTUAL important meeting we were going to was this afternoon. For THIS meeting, I wore shirt, blazer, PJ pants, and slippers, as is the correct attire for any business video call. (Not actual photo of me)

How's your morning going? I just got on a Teams call, got the camera working.... and realised I was still in my PJs...
So here is a picture of my cat, also still in his PJs, but owning the look and pulling it off better than me...

Got the sign off from the doc to turn out with the fire brigade again after my shoulder injury in January. Turned out to my first fire call in 3 1/2 months today. Just missed the truck - and they got turned back anyway, but felt great to at least get on the bike again and reinforce that yes, I still remember how to ride and no, I haven't forgotten where the fire station is :)

I got some new jewellery! (no, I wasn't expecting to proclaim that either) It's a bracelet? bangle? with a matching ring which both have Ichthys (line drawn fish often drawn in the sand by early Christians). Since we traditionally cover crosses and crucifix towards the end of Lent, and I normally wear a ring with a cross on it, I thought this made a nice physical reminder of the season. It said it was for men, I've never had a bangle before - what do you think?

I saw this quote from Isaiah 40:31 the other day: "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint". I thought it was mocking my running accident last week. But then I saw this quote from Proverbs 26:27 "If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will crush you instead." Only now, do I realise, it is telling me to rest and relax and watch cartoons! The bible is full of wisdom for every situation!

Sure:
1) tap on a hashtag in a post
2) tap on the "pin" icon near the top right
3) tap on the home icon (bottom left) to go back to the home screen
4) tap on the hashtag up the top of the screen (actually can skip this step, I just do it)
5) long press on the hashtag at the top of the screen
6) select "any of these"
7) type in more than four terms (ideally for testing, add something you know has a very recent post)
8) Press "validate"
9) refresh the view
10) note that only posts matching any of the first four terms in your list are shown

this one (unless it's changed in the last couple months): https://toot.fedilab.app/@npub1chv…2s60/113608251804509819 relevant content (from me on 7th December last year): "my biggest fedilab issue is only being able to have four hashtags in a list. I need half a dozen list tabs to follow the hashtags I want to watch (and i can't just follow them normally, because I need to follow any account I don't across which MAY post to those hashtags in hopes that I will see their relevant posts (in my hashtag lists) when they do. It's a bit messy"
