- The World Cup is here and I am loving the wall-to-wall football. The scheduling of the matches isn’t ideal for our timezone, but I’m enjoying waking up to video highlights. And although the politics and grubby monetisation are awful, the purity of football is rising above. Over a month still to go!
- I watched Apple’s fairly low-key WWDC keynote. I was pleased to see further parental controls, and approve of the bug-fixing and performance improvements, but there was little excitement. Yep, AI is now in everything.
- It was my mum’s birthday on Saturday, so I drove the boys over for lunch and garden sports while L recovered at home from a busy work week. A milestone was reached: it was the first time H has beaten me at table tennis. He’s pretty good. Is it time for me to start researching zimmer frames? However, I did bowl him out and hit him for repeated sixes playing cricket. My parents were both on good form, and still spritely in their mid-seventies.
- Back home, I went for a few evening beers with local dads in the local pub. I’ve not drunk for a while, but kept to pints and didn’t disgrace myself.
- In the morning, I took C to his cricket practice while H went with his mum to his end-of-season football presentation. We then had a lazy Sunday afternoon on the sofa watching Germany’s 7-1 win. A quiet end to the week.
