Life

It was a firebreak week at work which meant I got to try out the css anchor positioning module and the popover api in an attempt to rid ourselves of PopperJS. I think it will ultimately prove to be the right decision, and I also think I’m going to regret it because of all the niche hot-off-the-press bugs which, crucially, Claude has no idea how to address. It’s probably good to have had to use my own brain to solve some coding problems instead of telling a robot to do it (and slightly alarming how alien it feels already).

Easter holidays kicked off on Friday afternoon. We’ve had the (now standard) several rounds of stress about whether everyone is healthy enough to visit Aila in Scotland and concluded that we’re not, so we opted to stick around in London for the weekend and crammed in a pub lunch with Si and Lou on the Sunday. We managed to loosely recreate the magic of the craft table by bringing a heap of scrap paper, pens, and scissors. Remarkably we lasted the duration without recourse to the iPad and everyone mostly stayed in a good mood. Even the questionably-sensible third pint didn’t turn out to have been a massive error.

Running

Probably(/hopefully) the hardest week of the lot. It wasn’t pretty but I got it all done. Niggles persist but no new things to worry about at least.
