🥫 Week 272 - Tins

Back to it: I went to the gym twice this week. The first visit, I made the mistake of arriving in the middle of aqua aerobics, so I was forced to cycle and run instead of swim for the first half hour. The second visit, I witnessed strong words being exchanged between two middle-aged women in the steam room. Eventful.

I took H to football training in the freezing cold on Thursday, and then to his 9-1 thumping win away in North London on Sunday. His team really are soaring now, and must be due another promotion.

I came within a whisker of buying one of the fancy new MacBook Pros with a PROLED display. Adding on some RAM took the price well over £3K. That’s a lot of money to play with local LLMs. My 2021 M1 Pro is fine for now, I sensibly decided.

In any case, I need to save some money: we’re busy planning a big Japan trip next year, with the help of a travel agency and Claude (of course). Exciting but a bit daunting.

That’s assuming the world doesn’t go tits-up before then. I wouldn’t call myself a prepper, but I’ve bought some big bottles of water, tinned food, a small FM radio and batteries. When the government is gently warning us about power or water outages, it doesn’t hurt to stock up.
