September's Journal
November's Journal



xx/10/2025
Very definitely thinking about calling a halt to journaling at the end of this calendar year. 25 years of journaling is quite a lot, and while things have changed over the years (and how!) and it's quite a body of work that deserves to be continued... I'm just not feeling the urge quite so much these days. Maybe it's the working from home, maybe I just feel like there's less to share, or at least less of an inclination to share. We'll see...

October started with more of the VM rebuilds I talked about last month. A haircut (much needed at that point), and then getting a train somewhere (at least as far as Google Calendar tells me). I don't actually remember where though! I also started climbing again as a new climbing wall has opened up just a few miles away (rather than clear across town, with some unpleasant roads for cycling on between home and there). I haven't been many times as yet as the cost is pretty high per session, but it has been a lot of fun to use my strength in a functional way again.

I spent a weekend with Rel at her northern place (always lovely), and the following weekend headed down to stay with her for a night and a morning before she headed off to east Africa for close on three weeks. While she was away I did a few days in the office to show willing, attended some all hands staff meetings (various levels from division to department), and tried to keep myself busy so I didn't miss Rel too much. No visit to my parents this month after last month's Wales adventure.
