Autumn walks and cycling

It’s a fairly short update this month. I spent most of the month working on landing new clients (success!) and automating some of my own work on Scottish Technology Club.

We had a guest host for GlasgowJS (thanks Jamie!) as I was away at a family dinner, but I was at EdinburghJS which was guest hosted by Ljupche. All the videos from the events have now been published on the Scottish Technology Club Video Library.

We hung out with Gordon and Amy in South Queensferry taking a walk along the coast and then having lunch at Down the Hatch, a Canadian-style diner.

My running has somewhat fallen away the last few months. I am simply not in the routine of running every day. I still get out for the nusery run on my bike, but it’s not enough. I am currently “training” for a trail run in Peebles in November. My one bit of training is doing a loop around the back of the Braid Hills. We will see how it goes!

At the end of the month I went cycling in Pitlochry, which I have journaled about.

This month I have been reading (but not completed):

Exercised by Daniel Lieberman
Slouching Towards Utopia by J. Bradford DeLong

and I finished:

The Identity Trap by Yascha Mounk

Next month I am looking forward to getting started on a new round of client work, organising the final Glasgow and Edinburgh JavaScript meetups of the year, and running in Peebles.
