Week 241 - Hero

I had a quiet Easter Holidays house for a few nights this week while L and the boys visited her parents.
Why I use initials for my family members instead of their names: to quote Alice quoting Stew, “These people have not consented to be bit-players in my self indulgent psychodrama.”
Terry from Cadent is my hero. He kindly diverted traffic to the other side of the road outside our house, avoiding a metal plate needed to cover a temporary gas pipe repair hole. Every few seconds there had been a maddening clang as cars sped over it. I nominated him for Employee of the Month via Cadent’s contact form.
Watched: more gripping episodes of The Pitt and a couple of reasonable films.
Over the weekend, with the boys back from Wiltshire, we twice went over the road to the park for Daddy v Boys football matches. Good exercise and I didn’t injure myself for once.
L gave me the appropriately-named Big Daddy Loaded Half Egg for Easter. It’s incredibly dense, so I’ve been chipping off small chunks.
Adding to the household sugar intake, I made another excellent banana bread.
While visiting my parents on Sunday, I tackled a list of IT tasks they had saved up for me. They both have new laptops which needed setting up and data migrations. Although consumer technology is simpler than it used to be, there are still areas that are baffling to most, like shared photo libraries in iCloud.
More hacking on a new project by poking at Claude. I wonder if there’s a danger my terse, direct style when prompting Claude infects how I converse with real people in chat conversations. Need to remember my Ps and Qs and how to employ empathy!
