Week 44

5 November 2023
  • This week after years of saying we’d get around to it, started watching The Wire, we’ve blitzed through ten episodes already and we’re enjoying it. Just like everone says Michael K Williams’ Omar Little performance is brill.
  • I gave blood on Tuesday, my 32nd time. I do it at the Stratford Donor Centre, inside the Westfield, it’s basically the only time I go there. Mad place.
  • I fitted to locks on the bike box over the weekend, it’s so fiddly but satisfying in the end. Did two on each door for max security.
  • Also bolted the whole thing down to the concrete it sits on with some very cool concrete anchors. This box aint going nowhere.
  • Didn’t go see any fireworks this year. Can still hear them popping off right now.

About me

Jon Heslop is a web developer based in Walthamstow, he lives with his wife Rebecca and their dog, Maude. He enjoys cycling, cooking and hanging out with friends.

Enough of the third person... I was born in London, grew up on the Wirral before coming of age in the Midlands (somehow that’s the accent that mostly stuck). I went to university in London and then spent a while in West Wales.

I’ve been building websites since I was a teenager and I have been very lucky with the places and people I’ve worked with over the years.
