Week Notes 2025-52
Week Notes for December 22-28, 2025
Things this week
It's the final set of weeknotes for 2025! And in consequence the final set of weeknotes to appear on this website (https://srgower.com); I will be moving them over to my primary blog, at https://lwgrs.bearblog.dev. I won't go into the details - just that I have grand plans in my head for what writing will appear on this site (who knows if I'll follow through!).
2025 has been a whirlwind, that's for sure. I think I would have to read through every other 51 editions of my weeknotes to properly digest it all; as much as people lament LLMs I think that is a good use-case for giving me some kind of summary. I'm not sure I will do that, but I might get bored one day.
Week 52 saw Christmas and Boxing Day come and go; this was a strange one as it was marked with several hospital visits (don't worry, everyone is OK - long story/stories). But also some great fun! I didn't make as many notes for the week as I normally would, so this is a little sparse.
The biggest thing though - due to some of these circumstances my wife and I took it upon ourselves to cook Christmas dinner, something we knew we would eventually have to tackle. We did very well, cooking a very good turkey and my wife made a delicious stuffing. I was worried about the turkey - I've not even cooked a full chicken before. But it cooked all the way through and wasn't too dry. Big win.
Tech & Blog Stuff
My wife gifted me with a DJI Mini 4k (a drone), and I've taken it out for a couple of test flights. I'm still learning how to use it but I can tell it's going to be a lot of fun, and will add to my photography arsenal. I took & edited one photo and will share it on my photo blog a little later.
Other than that I didn't do a lot of tinkering last week. One thing I updated was my daily / weekly automated scripts to update the location of my Obsidian weekly notes, as I moved those folders to a PARA method structure. All this means is that I'm no longer manually moving files around.
Media
We didn't watch many different things as we usually do. One of the many channels in free preview this month went all-in on Gilmore Girls so we've been (re-)watching that. I don't think we watched any new movies; I did manage to watch a couple more episodes of Only Murders in the Building. I did a lot of reading but didn't finish anything.
