- Two actual nights out with my wife this week!
- The first was to see The Bluetones in Hitchin on Thursday. It was our fourth time seeing them together. Our first was a very early date years ago at The Forum in London, the most recent was a lovely acoustic set in the same venue. Thursday’s gig was to play the new EP and plenty of old stuff. They were excellent. Mark Morriss still sparkles in between songs.
- Saturday was at the local tennis club’s annual quiz night. Our team of nine improved one place on last year’s fifth finish, most probably because there were no anagrams. I answered a few tricky questions and even participated in the physical activity round. A few too many impossible tennis questions though.
- We needed a babysitter. Our previous one had gone off to university so we asked our neighbours’ teenage son. He seemed happy enough to earn a few quid while watching Netflix for a few hours.
- I’m making progress with my ActivityPub server. I’ve cracked using HTTP Message Signatures to accept a follow request. I was stuck on mismatched digests for a fair while, but after five minutes with ChatGPT it spotted and fixed my mistake. AI is unsurprisingly better at writing code than me.
