- Freddy is 5! Happy Birthday Freddy! We kinda spoilt him with a new bike, new helmet, Brio trains (including a remote control one), marble run, books and an awesome Octonauts cake Sam and I made on Thursday night.
- Freddy also finished school, no more reception, he gets an actual number in his new year, Year 1! His new class teacher did a zoom call and that was good, she seems nice and am looking forward to meeting her in person. His class is also named after Amelia Earhart so will get to do fun projects on successful women and planes I hope!
- The Octonauts cake was good fun to make and we had some creative time. Playdoh tools work well for baking too, we found.
- I went to LRUG (virtually) and enjoyed that meetup a lot. I’d only been a couple times in person, despite wanting to go regularly so it was good to see some ruby again at least.
- It did inspire me to try and get a talk written, so I’m going to start that soon and the topic will be something along the lines of why a senior engineer doesn’t need to be awesome at a particular language (trying to talk from experience of contributing to a team despite not being an experienced python engineer). Hopefully I can get it done for August LRUG and speak there (remotely!)
