Life

We had an AI-driven design sprint at work that was on the one hand hugely productive – we (a team of < 10) built, tested, and iterated on three prototypes in the space of four days – but on the other hand I found it far less rewarding than I feel like I’ve felt previously. Probably because I wasn’t building it, I was telling a robot to build it. Just another instance of AI making life less fun. Hard to deny how helpful it was in getting an enormous amount done though, and it almost completely removes the threat of a design sprint being derailed for half a day by a missing semi-colon.

Ηη appears still to be bang into climbing. If only he applied himself to his reading and writing like this.

Αα is less into her new nursery room and morning drop-offs are a bit of a challenge again. Ηη used to be so so bad and Αα has never been remotely close to how upset he used to get. I think I maybe expect her just to waltz in all the time because she’s not him, but I’m trying to remember that it’s obviously a lot for her too.

After looking at a series on increasingly expensive sofas we opted to pick one up from a little boutique place called IKEA. It won’t be the most comfortable, but it’s going to save us several grand, and we’ll be far less disappointed when the kids and the cat totally fuck it up.

On Sunday afternoon we celebrated Σσ’s birthday by hanging out with the Popes and Robinsons at the slightly weird family festival that descends on Clissold every year. Very pleasant it was too.

Running

Went for a lovely long run on Sunday. Fucked my foot some more. Still no news about a follow-up appointment from podiatrist.
