Week in Review: 24th Feb - 2nd Mar

Monday

Woke up to look after Milo. We went for a nice walk together. Bumped into Ella’s brother and his partner who were walking their dog.
Made some more progress on greatFrontend.com. In the evening I completed one of the code excercises. I need to get a better understanding of the this keyword in JavaScript.
Spent the day trying to fix my work laptop again. On the phone to IT for most of the day.
Went to visit another potential nursery for Milo. I liked it, Tash preferred the one we visited a few weeks ago.
Went for a run in the evening, just to get some fresh air. Did a couple of stair sprints which felt good.
Tash cooked a lovely dinner and then I spent a bit more time on greatFrontend.com before bed.

Milo and I went for our morning walk. It was chaos just before we left but he fell asleep eventually.
Got ready for work and cycled in.
Most of the day messaging IT and on calls trying to get laptop to work. No one can fix it.
Gym session on my own today as James is away. Felt good to get a leg workout in.
Cycled home and then went for a walk to the shops with Tash and Milo. He cried 50% of the way. I bought some compost for sowing seeds. It was fun pushing the pram + compost up the hill home.
The usual evening routine of dinner, bath, bed for Milo.
I downloaded cursos and had a play around with it. I tried the AI agent feature which was very impressive initially but clearly still has a long way to go. It got stuck trying to resolve a module import. Scratch that, The AI agent is insane!

Forgot how the day started… Probably spent some time with Milo before work.
got a new laptop at work.
Went for a walk at lunchtime with some of the AIhub team.
Cycled home and spent some time with Tash and Milo. We think he is at peak crying since he is now 6 weeks old and it is supposed to peak at 6-8 weeks.
Wanted to run but didn’t have time as we headed to Sandy and Sugars for dinner.
Lovely to see them and Ella.
I demonstrated my A skips and B skipes. Everyone found it very amusing.
Home and bed. Another busy day.

Tash had an earlier start this morning so I looked after Milo in bed whiilst she got ready.
Had breakfast and then cycled into work.
Spent the day getting my new laptop sorted.
Went for a lovely run in Wollaton park at lunchtime. It was a beautiful day. Fitness definitely not where it was but it felt good to be out.
Stuggling to help get work across the line without a working laptop.
Cycled home and had a tea with Tash and Milo. He was very fussy this evening.
Went food shopping and then had dinner.
Took Milo for a walk and called Yuri. Was great to catchup with him.
Bed.

Took Milo for a pre-work walk.
Worked from home. Took most of the morning to get my dev environment setup on my new laptop takig database backups etc.
Went for a quick pre-lunch walk with Tash and Milo to tbe bakery.
Mostly helping out with MRs and rubber ducking in the afternoon to help fix a bug.
Did a Zwift race with Hugh in the evening. Held on to the peloton for dear life including pushing through a cramp in both legs. Didn’t manage a sprint finish but happy to hold on for so long.
Chilled in the evening and then went to pick Charlie and Krish up from the station around half 11.
Introduce Milo to them and then went to bed.

Slept a bit less than usual as I didn’t sleep in the spare room. Tash looked after Milo when he was up in the night. Pretty amazing what she does, and how she manages with such little sleep!
Slow start to the day and then make a cooked breakfast for everyone.
Went for a walk around the park to show Charlie and Krish the area.
Picked up take away dinner from La Storia.
Drove to Wollaton park and went for a walk around the lake. It was a beautiful day, saw some deer and had a nice time.
Came home and had dinner.
Watched Hidden figures. Great film, shocking to see how even some of the smartest people at NASA were segregated by race and sex.

Tough night with Milo, he seems to have a bit of a cold. I took him in the morning so that Tash could get some sleep.
Caught up on daily notes for the week and went for a walk. Weather so nice I sat in one of the circles and just closed my eyes for a bit.
Successfully bottle fed Milo for a bit. Then cooked breakfast for everyone.
Walked into town with Charlie, Krish Tash and Milo. We had a coffee at Cobden Place.
Walked home, cooked lunch and dropped Charlie and Krish off at the station. Really nice to seem them, and for them to meet Milo.
Spent the afternoon and early evening in the garden with Anthony and Saria. We cut back loads of bushes and weeded the rocker. Anthony suggested we had a bonfire which I wasn’t opposed to. We generated a little more smoke than anticipated but it was fun.
Tash cooked dinner and then we watched another episode of Black Doves before bed.
