• 20 of these things!

  • In preparation for the move we sold our car. Well, “sold”. We found someone who says they’ll come to get it next week is the actual current state.

    We bought a Tesla thinking it was probably a safe bet — decent range, and surely Tesla knows what it is doing after a decade of making cars? — but it was actually quite annoying in lots of ways (as well as being a big expensive liability) and I will be happy to see the back of it disappearing up the road. Also Musk is a big wally and I’ll be glad not to own anything associated with him.

    I’m not sure what we’ll do for the month+ between it going and us leaving the UK. We rarely use a car so renting feels like a waste of money but there’s no convenient Zipcar-style sharing thing here.

  • After a fortnight of huge tech layoffs I’m getting quite worried that Google will rescind my offer. I haven’t heard anything suggesting that’s a possibility but I’d imagine these things are kept under wraps until the last moment anyway. Fingers crossed it all works out!

  • Let’s see, what else? The inlaws have been here so that has been a big childcard help. I took a load of stuff to the dump, fixed various house things, cut the grass, etc. Nothing thrilling.

  • Running is going okayish. I can do 5 or 6km every other day but 10km or, god forbid, a half marathon feels quite a way off at the moment.

  • Oh, it was my birthday. I am a year older.
