Up at 6am to test something going live out of hours. No-one else online. The go-live got moved to tomorrow and no-one told me. At least I had some time to do some work in peace. I have basically worked from 6am to 5.15pm though with the briefest of breaks. And then I have to start again tomorrow, another 6am start and another full day not being able to finish early.
We did generously get a bonus hour off yesterday for the extreme weather, but I was too busy to take that. I will try and take some back on Friday, but it's tricky as I'm the daytime on call person this week so not sure I can. Friday will be the next drinking day (I really am being very good), not before Friday anyway, so maybe I'll just take my laptop to the Potting Shed.
Also there's a big company tech get together where we all celebrate how great we are. It's at the head office in Welwyn Garden City. There's only room for a certain number of people at the actual live event, so that's all booked up. Everyone else has to go to an official watch party where we watch on a screen. There is not even one in London, I have to also go to Welwyn Garden City for this. This sounds great.
Just done an in-game purchase for T2 on the Nintendo Switch. That is such an awful setup, I have to reset the password each time and then enter it lots of times.
Oh he also got the bus by himself to the cinema today with a friend. Clare put them on the bus, and was never too far away as she was also going into town, but they made it there and back again by themselves. I remember doing a similar thing myself at that age, a bit older as I'd started secondary school, and on the way back from Fareham I missed my stop. Badly. I ended up in Southsea, thinking "surely it's going to turn around in a minute". Luckily the bus driver took pity on me, took me to another bus going back the other way.
Just so they both get a mention, when I got up at 5.45am today for this work thing, T1 got up at the same time. Why are you up, what are you doing? He said mum told him to get up. I think he was sleep walking, I pushed him gently back to bed.
Partly cloudy and a moderate breeze, 15 - 24℃.
