Reader, Autumn is here, marking the much-anticipated return of pumpkin spice. While writing I'm drinking my first (and maybe last) latte and can already feel the power of being so, so basic surging through my veins.
At work, more and more teams have begun blogging semi-regularly. It's very energising reading about their progress (and I love the occasional deep-dives).
I upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro, going for the smaller model after I found the 11 Pro Max a shade too big. So far I'm really enjoying it. Dynamic Island is a joy. Unfortunately I have one gripe: The always-on screen is really distracting, so, I've started laying it upside down.
Recently I finished watching Only Murders in the Building. Overwhelmingly wholesome. Really just a treat from end-to-end. Imagine being that into true-crime podcasts.
A new term starts in a few weeks. I'm not ready.
This week also marked a mini-budget in the UK, doubling-down on "trickle-down" economics. Mostly I've avoided writing about politics, but, this felt both significant and a tad desperate. We're in a time machine rapidly heading to the golden era of an unregulated financial system - because that has always ended well.
