Weekly Wrap 738: Three podcasts recorded, nil posted, and what cold weather we’ve been having

My week of Monday 15 to Sunday 21 July 2024 was both busy and not busy. I recorded three of the five special-guest episodes for The 9pm Edict winter series, but during the cold and windy winter weather I was fighting some sort of infection and needed so much sleep.

Weekly Wrap 736: Winning at crowdfunding, not winning at productivity

Against a grey cloudy sky are highlighted two massive construction cranes, their bright colours highlighted by the setting sun.

My week of Monday 1 to Sunday 7 July 2024 saw me pump out a solo podcast episode, but little else of note. I’ve said in the past that I seem to have a cycle of productive and non-productive weeks, and here we are. I did a lot of sleeping. I’ll tell you about that some day.

Weekly Wrap 735: The end of another financial year, with added recreation

My week of Monday 24 to Sunday 30 June 2024 was a strange end to the financial year. I did get a little bit of client work done, but I was also very tired. Then I had a recreational weekend which extended into Monday — an unplanned long weekend! And on top of that I received a surprise gift.

Weekly Wrap 734: Winter cocktails provide a refreshing but potentially dangerous break

On an old wooden table sits an old-style lowball glass containing a pale yellow liquid, ice cubes, and slice of lemon. In the background, out of focus, the lush dark red furnishings of a high-Victorian drawing room.

My week of Monday 17 to Sunday 23 June 2024 was a curious one. An evening of delightful cocktails midweek may or may not have had something to do with a lingering sore throat. A client project received a bullet in the head, much to my relief. And I started mapping out my podcast’s winter series, for which a crowdfunder is running.

Weekly Wrap 733: My tardy transition from autumn to winter

A view downhill in the evening towards a Victorian-era railway station, or at least its equipment hut. The platform is lit up with an orange tinge, but the sky is grey, and snow is scattered along the track.

My week of Monday 10 to Sunday 16 June 2024 saw me finally wrap up my podcast’s autumn series and kick off the winter crowdfunder. This reminded me of snow, so I’m including some snow from three years ago.
