I dropped AJ off with Jas, went to the gym, then came home to do some study/writing. It took me ages to capture the UX chapter in the Lean Product Playbook - as Kai kept vomiting and drawing my attention as he rolled around, and sat in his bumbo. Managed to get my article out on Inception in Scrum

Dave Boyle came over for the first time since Kai was born - he brought some banana and chocolate cake. I took AJ down to the Ballymore area for dogs, then across the bridge and to the hockey fields. While some guys played soccer - we kicked his small soccer ball around, taking turns to go in-goal and stop the shots.

Gym after work - some pretty regular looking guy started squatting 140kg+ next to me while I didn't want to push past 110kg. He didn't do much on bench though, so I felt way better about it when I started doing 2x 25kg overheads
