- I was almost run over this week on a lunchtime walk around the village. A car turned into the side road I was halfway across at the junction, but instead of giving way to the pedestrian, the driver kept driving at me and beeped. I jumped out of the way and the car drove on. Insane.
- H bought himself a grown-up scooter (two wheels to replace his three-wheeled toddler version) so he can join his friends scooting to school and back - only on footpaths thankfully, given what I’ve just written. It’s another small step of independence.
- I continue to discover that wearing my glasses makes all the difference close up. Text and UI on my 5K Studio Display is incredibly detailed and sharp. Who knew?
- After last week’s missed Wordle catastrophe, I achieved the impossible: my very first Wordle-in-one. CLASP. I will be signing autographs but no selfies please…
- I continue sliding further down the agentic-engineering rabbit hole. I’ve been experimenting with Claude Dispatch and Remote Control from my phone, and this week built a couch-to-5k skill. When I say I built it, I answered a few questions using the Superpowers plugin and then it spat out some Markdown files for progress and context. It’s addictive, but sadly Claude doesn’t do the actual physical running for you.
- Let’s not talk of Sunday’s League Cup Final ever again. I’m hoping our players blow out the cobwebs in the international break and come back ready to grind out the last seven matches in the League 🤞
