Week 243 - Sofa

  • I joined a CTO Craft mixer event at Tessl’s Kings Cross office for Guy Podjarny’s talk on agentic engineering at scale. It was worth the trip in for sharing energetic AI chat with peers all in the same boat. We were notably a bit startled with the pace of change that is only accelerating each week.
  • L has been gardening, tidying and jet-washing the patio in preparation for new garden furniture which arrived this week. I assembled the corner sofa, table and benches just in time for the sun to disappear behind the clouds. Never mind. We are now at least ready for summer.
  • Also, the relaid lawn has completed its six-month bedding-in period, meaning large boys can at last run around on it with balls… which they immediately lost over the fence.
  • We’ve started watching Margo’s Got Money Troubles. Very good so far. I watched Weapons while L was out - I was correct in assuming it was very much not her kind of thing.
  • Arsenal are into the Champions League semi-final stage, but lost to City in the Premier League. It’s definitely squeaky bum time. Can we have something nice this season, please?
  • Booked: a family Center Parcs holiday in October and a September music festival in Valencia with Andy.
