This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).
At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL
Friday was one of those days where I was aiming for a nice, tidy conclusion to the work week. Started off by getting the quarter notes video sorted - made the thumbnail and uploaded it to YouTube first thing. That felt good to tick off the list.
Then I printed more pages for the zine. It's been quite satisfying sending these out - already had a couple of lovely notes from friends who received theirs today. There's something particularly pleasing about stapling them together and popping them in the post.
Most of the day was focused on the file system queue for the Data Lifeboat project. I've been working on this all week, and while I made good progress, it ended in a slightly unsatisfying state. Not quite as wrapped up as I'd hoped. The main bits are working, but I'm missing some error checking and debugging that would make it more robust. It can handle the happy path fine, but not so much when things go wrong.
The yellow floor in the studio continues to make me smile every time I walk in. It's ridiculously bright but absolutely worth it. The light bouncing off it gives everything a warm glow.
Had a productive day overall, even if the file system queue isn't quite as polished as I'd like. Sometimes you just have to accept that Friday afternoon has arrived and it's time to down tools. The eldest is coming over tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to chatting with her and having a relatively empty weekend schedule.
Feeling grateful for the warm weather today - didn't need to layer up as much walking to and from the studio. Also grateful for having interesting projects to work on, and I suppose owning half a Riso machine is pretty cool too. Not many people can say that!
