Aug 18, 2025: Now on YouTube; Super-busy week; reconnecting with ol' friends

Happy meat pie Mondays, everybody.

I really miss meat pies.

For all our Android users and folks with Android phones, I made this into a YouTube playlist since there’s no podcast app for Android.

So I’ll put a link into the group chat and you can subscribe to it.

Let’s see.

It’s been a pretty, it was a pretty intense week at work last week.

Just had a couple of things due.

So I was woken up late a couple of nights and also stayed up late because we have three extra people staying with us at the house this week.

So there’s seven people in our house, which meant lots of extroverting and hanging out with them, which was really good fun.

And of course, a bit tiring since I was going to bed at one or two AM.

I did also finish off Andor, the first season of that, which was awesome.

I think I may have said that last week.

But yeah, feeling really busy, productive, but need more sleep overall.

And it’s also an exciting week because this coming week is the last week of school holidays.

So Mika starts at her new school next week with Rafa on the 25th, which is really exciting.

And I’ve also tried to be a decent human being in spite of all the busyness.

So I’ve been reconnecting with some friends who I haven’t spoken to for a while.

Hi Astrid, Lucia.

I saw Dom last week who came to Vancouver from San Francisco and we had a great time at Din Tai Fung.

Thanks.

Lydell and Jennifer and also went to like a really cool virtual baby shower for Amy and Chris.

We miss you guys a lot.

I think my two highlights from the last week were I did 120 pound Romanian deadlifts, so RDLs, which I did not think I was capable of at this point in time.

So that was kind of awesome.

And 65 pound goblet squats, so increasing the weights.

And I just took some time to myself on Thursday and got a haircut.

So voila, exciting week.

Catch you next week.
