Lifenotes #19: June 2022

✨ Highlights

• Monzo gave everyone the jubilee week off (Jubileave 🌴) so I went down to Devon with Juno to see my family for a few days 💛
• Signed Juno up for a dog class, and it’s been great. He’s ok with commands but gets super distracted near other dogs, so it was good to practice that.
• My friend Mark came to visit for a weekend ☺️
• Took Juno to doggy daycare for the first time and he had a blast!
• Went for yoga and brunch with Anna and it was sooo lovely 🧘🏼‍♀️
• Monzo had a summer event for everyone in the company, it was a lot of fun to hang out with work friends in person 🎉 (incidentally, I need to up my limbo game)

🎮 Played/Read/Watched

• Nothing to hide: watched this with my sister, it was a fun watch!
• Stranger Things Series 4 Volume 1: I love where the story is going, impatient for volume 2!
• Piranesi: I really enjoyed this book, during the setup I wasn’t really sure, but I loved the way the story unfolded.
• Are You Suffering from Toxic Productivity? by Kat Boogaard
• Face Off: I’d never seen this one, so I watched it with a friend and it was so goofy! A fun watch, but hard to take seriously at all 😅
• Derry Girls Series 3: this is such a fun show, I’m sad it’s over!
• Business Value, Soccer Canteens, Engineer Retention, and the Bricklayer Fallacy by Ian Miell
• Notes on maintaining an internal React component library by Gabe Scholz
• Good luck to you, Leo Grande: I love this film so much! 💛
• Everything everywhere all at once (again!)
• in the kingdom of the blind by Bridget Kromhout
• Factually: The Long, Slow Death of the Internet with Cory Doctorow
• Crazy stupid love: I watched this while off sick and it ticked all the boxes for one of those days.
• Kenobi: I enjoyed it cause it’s Star Wars but there wasn’t much jeopardy in the plot, cause you know where the characters end up 🤷🏼‍♀️ (getting glimpses of Vader at peak Vader is always fun, though)
• Boy parts: this was a page turner for me, a slightly uncomfortable story well told.
