- For L’s birthday in February I bought her outdoor string lights for the garden. This weekend her festoon poles arrived so we could experiment with hanging them along one hedge. She now wants more for the other side. This could get expensive.
- I’m still battling Ikea’s cheap-but-unreliable Thread devices in my office. My bulbs and smart plugs keep dropping off my home network and refuse to reconnect. Rebooting border routers makes no difference. I’m close to binning them in favour of bog-standard wifi devices.
- Temperatures topped 24C on Friday so we enjoyed a couple of G&Ts sitting outside in the spring sunshine. Very pleasant.
- With the boys needing to burn off some energy at the weekend, I drove us all to Panshanger Park for a nice, long walk around the lake in the sunshine. There was only a little bit of grizzling, so I rewarded them with caramel shortbreads and cinnamon buns.
- A decent away draw in the Champions League and a thumping home win in the Premier League for the Arsenal. Ticking along nicely.
