Weeknote #25 (20 - 26 October 2025)

October 26, 2025

I spent quite a lot of the first half of the week looking after myself. I was struggling with a number of things and it all got a bit much for me. So I was quite quiet on all fronts. Things picked up in the latter half of the week, though, so not all is lost. (And it's important to emphasise that looking after oneself is not a waste of time.)

It's not lost on me that, whilst I'm writing this, my earworm is "Where is my mind", by The Pixies.

I worked on some more templates for my brands - for presentations and instagram - in Canva.

Finalised my slides for next week’s talk & sent them to the organisers.

Sorted out my accommodation in London (for the talk) and Cardiff (for GovCampCymru).

‘Land grabbed’ a couple of domain names for future use.

Finally got round to reviewing my 5 sample chapters of “Random - The Book”, previously mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

I watched some episodes of “Ellis”. Not sure how I missed that first time round - it’s excellent. And started watching “Lazarus” - I’m looking forward to seeing how this one ends; I have a couple of theories, but who knows?

My listening is starting to diversify after a couple of weeks of ‘I’ll just play that one again’. Highlights include:

  • Stealing Sheep - “GLO”. I can’t help it; I like it and it keeps me calm.
  • LSD - “Welcome to the Wonderful World Of (feat. Sia, Diplo & Labrinth)”
  • Junior NRB & Bmunii - “Don't Be A Fool - EP”
