Heading up to London for a day of photography - first to Canary Wharf for some architectural photography, then some BBQ food and a rest, before a 3 hour night photography workshop. Been really photography over the last few months - I live for days like this whatever the weather 🥰 likely rain 🤣

Not a plugin, but I use Raycast scripts with typed params a lot to trigger bash scripts and speed up blogging www.raycast.com/blog/inputs-... eg I can type blog, and a title for a blog post, and it creates a markdown file in the right place with the right formatted YAML inc date on my filesystem.
Mainly stock ones, but there are usually some good integrations with all sorts of apps you use. Most used commands 'Open Camera' (checking I look OK before meetings 😅), Figma, Linear, Clipboard History, Window arrangement (using shortcuts). Setting hotkeys is advised - super efficient.

It you don’t mind subtitles these are well worth it
- Wisting - great if you like Scandinavian Crime dramas (it’s Norwegian)
- Borgen - Danish political drama with a strong female lead
- The bridge (bron |||broen) - 4 seasons great crime drama
- The Killing - original danish version - old but ace
