March 2025 Month Notes

The end of March marks my 12th anniversary of joining GitHub šŸ™šŸ± As is well documented… it’s not the same.

The sun is out and spring is springing in Southport. The fruit trees are in bud 🌱 and will soon be in bloom 🌸 around my birthday, which is definitely one of my favourite times of year.

I have been:

Also, one of my work buddies got an electric car and had 100 questions, which I’d like to make a post out of.

Based on historical patterns of this blog - a surefire way to ensure that a post is not written about something is to say that I will write a post about it.

I started writing this and ran out of time to publish, then a load of things happened.

We ordered some carpet for our back room; muggins here undermeasured it significantly, which caused the fitters to show up and say ā€œthis isn’t happening today budā€ and that meant we spent 4 days with some very temporary floor coverings in our main living area and all of our furniture in random other places we could fit it. One knock-on effect was that Helen couldn’t host her usual Friday morning friends here, so one of the cohort stepped in, and H needed the car to go there, BUT the car was scheduled for its MOT and service that day, so that had to be pushed out. Furthermore, half term has started which means both kids at home all day, and not many suitable play spaces. Oh dear!

Paragraph left intentionally cramped to reflect the chaos.

I now speak to you from the after times, where we have a beautiful fitted carpet and I only had to pay ~Ā£100 difference to restock the undersized one. Very #blessed to be able to afford such a mistake.

Remember kids, measure twice (or use the free estimation service!) šŸ¦†

Btw, the fruit trees ARE NOW BLOOMING. This is not a drill. 🌸🌸🌸
