- The sun came out on Wednesday, the temperature reached over 23C and I had to find some shorts for the day. And then summer was gone. Come back!
- I renewed my Reflect subscription for a fourth year. Although I’ve switched to Obsidian as part of my new work operating system, I’m not quite sold on it as a replacement for my personal notes.
- One new addition to my toolkit is Talat (referral link). It reliably does the one thing I want from meeting transcription software: automatically begin transcribing when a meeting starts and then save raw text to a folder. I can then get Claude to import the latest file and interpret what was said via a skill. No monthly fee, just a one-off price for a solid tool.
- I took a half-day on Friday to cash in my trampolining pub quiz prize while the boys were still on Easter holidays. It was good exercise and good fun! I impressed everyone with my seat drops, full turns and tuck jumps, that I last tried 40 years ago at Saturday morning trampolining club at the Bramston Sports Centre. Still got it, although I hurt my back a little bit.
- On Saturday I drove us down to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew to meet up with L’s parents, brother and his family. We visited the Hive and the Pagoda, saw the spring flowers, and peeked behind barriers to see the Henry Moore exhibition which was still being set up. The cousins swapped notes on Pokémon and tired themselves out with high-octane games of hide-and-seek
- The day out meant we luckily avoided watching Arsenal’s capitulation at home to Bournemouth. It’s now or never, Mikel.
- Six hours of walking around West London meant my back felt worse on Sunday, but I soldiered on and took C to his first outdoor cricket session with WGCCC. The sun was back out briefly, and I could enjoy an hour-and-a-quarter with my AirPods watching from the perimeter.
