What have I been upto?
We have quite a bit of a heatwave at the moment in the UK. Been largely getting on top of both personal and professional projects. Personal has seen me sort out a potential pest problem that manifested itself last month, along with some car related activities. Professional has seen me begin to prepare for WordCamp Europe in a few weeks, and also I attended HiveMCR last week too.
Last weekend I climbed up Walla Crag, which was so worth it from the top as the views over the Lake District and Scotland were incredible. It’s my first Wainwright – 214 walks in the Lake District shared by Alfred Wainwright. Apparently a “medium”. Once again it’s given me a task to achieve at some point, I can’t do it along with the 50 parkruns before the year’s out or similar to the 100 football grounds I achieved a few years back, but it may be something I have in the back of my mind every now and again to try to achieve.
Other than that, not much. A friend celebrated their 50th last weekend which I went to, but besides that, and cricket (which is continuing with a minimum of 2 games a week at the moment), there’s not much else to concern myself with.
What I have been enjoying?
I’ve been binging a show on Apple TV. For All Mankind is a show that begins with a great “What if” question – What if The Soviets were the first on the moon? We binged season 1 over the weekend and it was so watchable for me. Like most space shows it can be a bit far fetched but overall, it’s fantastic.
What is upcoming?
Next week is WordCamp Europe, so I’m off to Poland next Wednesday for a few days, other than that I’ve a relatively quiet weekend, with not much happening. MWUG is Friday too, so looking forward to my third trip to Manchester this week.
Never heard of a Wainwright before! Wonderful stuff and what views!
For All Mankind is great, be interested to here how you get on with the later seasons though… worth watching for sure.
Never heard of a Wainwright’ every day a school day. Great views too.
Enjoy For All Mankind, I got a bit meh with it in Season 4.
Good on you going up Walla Crag, it’s a good one and it’s on my list. Here are a few Wainwrights I’ve blogged about over the years. The list is long, with many a winding (path)…

Amazing! I don’t want it to become a thing but it may become a thing. Showing this to my father-in-law
Thanks! I’d do them a lot more often but the fact that they are about 1,500 km away from where I live makes it a challenging weekend away.
