✨ Highlights
- Went on a work trip to Cardiff with my team. It’s a really lovely city and had a fun time 😌
- The house sale seems to be moving 🤞🏼
- I went to Liverpool for a few days with my family, we hung out there for a few days and then they came to stay at mine for a bit too 💛
🎮 Played/Read/Watched
- Cult Classic, by Sloane Crosley: This was quite a weird book. It was a fun read, but largely unremarkable.
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: I’d enjoyed the previous game in the series, so I decided to give this one a go, it’s also really good fun. It’s very cathartic to slice through aliens with a lightsaber.
- I went to see a marathon of the Star Wars original trilogy at my local cinema - Broadway. It was a fun, chill day.
- Why GOV.UK’s Exit this Page component doesn’t use the Escape key by Beeps - This was an insightful read. I learnt a few bits about the web and about a great feature.
- Why, after 6 years, I’m over GraphQL by Paul Bessey
- The Unfettered Selfishness of Digital Nomads by James Greig
- The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen: I really loved this book. I read it cover to cover pretty quickly, I’d highly recommend it.
