Daily note for 25 May 2023

I’ve been busy getting married! and also being ill
- Saturday was amazing, beautiful weather, a nice simple ceremony and then a party with many of our favourite people. Am a very happy and contented man right now
- However I then got a cold almost immediately, with the coughing, sneezing and sore throating meaning I haven’t slept well all week. Just pleased we didn’t go on an immediate honeymoon, otherwise it might have been wrecked
I’ve finally finished and published a long article I have been working on and talking to people about for forever. Am hoping it’s the start of many more conversations

The above article received praise from Tom Loosemore, which was jolly nice

Matt Edgar’s review of 10 years of digital transformation

Books:
- I just finished The Ruin of All Witches by Malcolm Gaskill, which was brilliant
- Then I polished off Christian Beginnings by Geza Vermes, which I started last year and put to one side for some reason. Also very good.
- Am continuing the non-fiction thing for now, with Anna Keay’s The Restless Republic
I rather missed the excitement at the time – had other things to get on with – but Forest are staying up!
