Wins of the week 29 May
29 May 2026
A lot of my week has been doing things in preparation for a family party for my 60th birthday. A good win was finding party food catering from the supermarket I normally get deliveries from. So the bulk of the work will be delivered in the morning.
The other main win was hosting a MoT Leeds Chapter meeting. A small but enthusiastic group listened and discussed side hustles and all things related.
I also managed to bring my video doorbell and solar array back on line after they both disconnected for an as yet unknown reason. I’ll have to save root cause analysis for next week.
