After two years of “doing long-distance”, I’m now – finally – living with my partner, Matt. For his consultant doctor training, he’s now been posted at a hospital that is commutable from my place in Croydon, so he’s moved in with me. I’ll miss the regular trips to Brighton that have been more of a joy than a chore for the past couple of years; but we have already committed to regular trips elsewhere to make up for for the absence of our seaside jaunts.
Work
I continue to work at the Office for Digital Identities and Attributes – a part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. I’m now running that team. It’s an increasingly complex thing to work on, and I’m trying to not let it also become complicated.
Whilst I’ve been in the team for almost 3 and a half years, being accountable for the whole unit is quite new. I suspect I have a big learning curve ahead of me but I’m ready for the challenge.
Relaxing
My momentary, intense interest in retro-gaming – mostly focused around the Game Boy system – has mostly abated, and I’ve started oscillating between my other hobbies again recently.
I’m still spending probably too much time playing the PlayStation.
I’ve just finished what I think is now my fourth full rewatch of Star Trek: Voyager and my third of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’m yet to catch up on Season 5 of Lower Decks, Discovery or Seasons 2 and 3 of Strange New Worlds. I think that makes me a “bad Trekkie”.
