Week Notes 25#43

• A busy, productive, week at work this week, but a couple of slower brain days
• Was nice to catch up with Nikos and Michael
• In Kingshot, did well on Eternity's Reach based on a YouTube video shared in the Alliance chat
• With Anna speaking at Serverless Days in Cardiff, was just Cookie and Morph and I for a couple of days
• Got my first couple of personal blog posts published about Renovate
• Had a nice, quiet, pub night
• A night away in Cambridge to see Sarah and the kids for A's birthday
  • We went to the pumpkin walk at Walsham which was nice
  • We stayed in The Dairy at Home Farm, which was so incredibly lovely - well situated, good welcome basket, well stocked and super toasty + well designed!
  • While on our way, there was a stretch of road that we saw a car pulling over in a safe place, with smoke coming out of it, with at least a mile worth of smoke billowing behind it, and making it unsafe for other drivers 😬
  • Had a good day for the soul with Rich and Soph yesterday while Anna was at the kids' party
  • We drove back late last night - instead of early this morning - but definitely feeling it after a weekend of lots of driving 🥱
• Made some very good progress on finalising my Desert Island Discs, but not quite finished the write-up
