A week of Grafana dashboards, killing The Big Light, Too Hot to Handle, building better cities, visiting family, and seaside walks. Read Week 65: Lamps.
A week of infuriating cancellations, great vegetarian food, painting walls, winter coats, nighttime walks, and a new direction at work. Read Week 64: Adjourned.
A week of Wordle, ideal starting words, kitchen upgrades, bedroom upgrades, worrying about the trial, a slightly different role, and a lot of Minecraft. Read Week 63: Wordle.
