Week Notes 21#40

Returning to work after a week off, for my last full wek at Capital One:

• Fortunately eveyrthing was fine while I was away, so the last handovers and bits of work that I can do are all done
• Last things to do are finishing feedback for folks who've recommended it
• Had some good last catch-ups with various folks
• Had a day at home on my own
• Had our first consultation with the interior designer - exciting start, with some exploratory first questions, and are looking forward to the brief + mood board that comes out of it!
• Windows are measured up, and had a good chat about options
• Cucumber v7 was released, so did some upgrades at work and on personal projects
• Been a good week working on Wiremock - with the Discord there's been an easier opportunity to discuss and collaborate, and am excited to get a bit more stuck in
• Officially registered intent to adopt maintainership of Job DSL
• Started using RSVP Calendar - despite some cert issues - but still not quite ready for external use
• Lovely to see my parents on Saturday
  • Got Cod's Scallops for lunch which was very good - and gave enough leftover chips and beef sauce to give us dinner, too
  • Morph was on top form, giving both of them cuddles and affection, which was very nice
  • Got a 1.4kg box of the two-bite brownies I used to love
  • Got lots of Lego now, with the latest from my parents, so my office is now teeming with opportunity
• Read some of 4.48 Psychosis
• Did a lot of tidying and sorting in the house, and the garage, this week
• Was nice to see Sarah, Ross and Klara on Sunday, but they didn't end up needing as much garage space as we thought - but at least it's cleared now!
• Booked in Rich and Soph to come stay later in the month
• Morph has been trying to escape a fair bit, and has been screaming at us for reasons unknown - it's getting a little annoying at times 😅
• In the lull of a song, heard what sounded like a yowling cat, and rushed downstairs - Morph had been cornered by the ginger cat, who wasn't being aggressive, and in fact was looking at the garden, away from Morph, and yowling a bit. When Morph saw me, he - pardon the pun - walked over incredibly gingerly and quietly so as not to let the ginger Cat spot him
• Electric blanket is now on the bed, and warming it before we get into bed
• Got super yummy brownies from work
