Hello from sunny Birmingham. The weather has been alternating between rain and grey all weekend.

Spent some time steeling myself for a few conversations that I thought would be difficult. No, reader, they all went swimmingly well. I’m genuinely pleasantly surprised.
I got here in a van: Despite having multiple train lines from Birmingham to London, it’s somehow still quicker to drive from my flat in London to my parents home in Birmingham. Or at least, it should have been: It took nearly 30 minutes to drive down Putney High Street alone. Sheesh.
Despite the (painful, at least to me) mistakes that was still a pretty technically advanced set and I'm pretty proud of how far I've come since picking DJing back up in 2020. It's such a fun hobby. And it's a very different, really intimate — and almost therapeutic — relationship with music. I genuinely regret not having made more of an effort to play gigs like stormhaven or the MC festival. Oh well.
MT, JV and I had a late lunch and another short go at vedremos. It didn’t go well.
Had the best fish & chips in AGES from Dads Lane Fish Bar. So good I’m still reeling. (sorry)
I’ve been learning about IMAP. Why? I have this ambitious plan to replace several apps I use with my email client. It’s a nice protocol.
Going in Style (2017) is a fun little heist movie featuring one of the best dynamics in film: Caine & Freeman. I really enjoyed it. Did you know Zach Braff is a director now? 3/5
Anyone want a coffee machine that is overdue a descale?
