      "- I took C to his piano lesson for the first time at a local piano teacher's home. He's really progressing well. He only started in September, but is fast catching up with his father's playing abilities, especially with his left hand. My chords-only organ-playing experience means I struggle to fluently read music in bass clef.\r\n- (This reminds me of the day as a teenager when my mother asked my girlfriend if I had shown her my organ yet 😳)\r\n- C dressed as a Pharaoh for Ancient Egypt day at school, with authentic-looking eye-liner. He's been learning grizzly mummification facts.\r\n- I used to play my older son at FIFA/FC on the Switch, but he hated losing to me (or me letting him win). He has been practising, and this week asked to play me again. I lost 1-3 and 1-2, to his ungracious delight.\r\n- [Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man](https://barryfrost.com/2026/03/peaky-blinders-the-immortal-man) was a decent full-stop on the story, but it felt a bit flat without the full cast from the TV series.\r\n- We're three hours into [The Pitt](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31938062/), however, and it is phenomenal. So much happens that you (rightly) can't dual-screen it.\r\n- It's now the Easter Holidays for the next two weeks. While I'm at home/office working, L is taking the boys to her parents' in Wiltshire for a few days.\r\n- I would normally buy curry and beer for the nights I'm eating alone, but I'm trying to be healthier, so instead I've stocked up on low-fat chicken tikka and non-alcoholic beers. I still plan to watch a few sci-fi films of course.\r\n- Claude is my new executive assistant. I've given it read-only access to my calendar and I feed it meeting transcripts to help build a model of my job though its folder of Markdown files. It's becoming genuinely useful the more it learns. Next on the list is experimenting with opening its folder in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) so we can collaborate on daily notes.\r\n- I've been watching the coverage of the [ATmosphereConf](https://atmosphereconf.org/) with a degree of jealousy. There's a real energy to the atproto community, with an explosion of projects and new ideas being shared. I'm hacking away at a few of my own which I hope to write about soon."
