· 2 min read ⏱️

Hey friends! Hope you had a nice week and weekend. This is a bit late, but here’s how my week went:

Did

  • Got back to work after a week away, couldn’t really remember anything about my job 😅
  • Went to see the house we’re buying again, and it’s still lovely 💛 just have to wait for mortgage and solicitors and other boring things 🤞🏼
  • Had my first therapy session 🙌🏼
  • Got a new pillow, but I didn’t really get on with it.
  • Started looking into micro frontends and potential architectures, very exciting 🤓
  • Started migrating my site to Eleventy 👩🏼‍💻
  • The Coding Black Females Takeover at WiT Notts was so good! Inspirational talks and speakers, and overall just great fun 💛
  • Got my flu jab
  • Biden won 🎉
  • Had a lovely zoom call with some of the Tech Nottingham Slack folks, and after our convo decided to watch a sampler of UK game shows. I watched: Only Connect, Countdown, University Challenge, Mastermind, Catchphrase, Pointless, Richard Osman’s House of Games, The Chase and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Did I miss any good ones?

You can the back of a two storey brick house, a deck with a table and a parasol, some bunting and a blue wendy house.

Me, with my back to the camera, wearing a teal bomber jacket, with pink embroidery at the back of a keycap and the incription: cute keyboard club.

My cute keyboard club jacket arrived 😍
