I found a local music teacher who's accepting new students. This is harder than it sounds. So I'm basically starting from zero (level one, British style) in music, but also I have somebody who notices when (e.g.) my timing on notes is terrible. This is a step up: YouTube is pretty bad at that. Also: it turns out they don't have quarter notes, half notes, etc, in the UK. There's a whole other set of names for note durations like "crotchet" and "minim." This sounds like the kind of thing I'd make up, but it's true.
Work is good. We're in a bit of a period of disruption - got our next Bit Thing (tm) done, and we're kind of regrouping and figuring out what the next Big Thing will be. So: successful, but a bit disrupted.
Of course, a big chunk of my compensation was in Shopify stock. Shopify stock has been doing *extremely* poorly. I'm checking with the accountants to make sure that there's no hideous dot-com-crash-style tax consequences, since the stock hasn't actually been granted yet. I don't *think* so, but I'm also very much not a UK tax accountant, so I'm asking somebody who is.
The kids are all healthy and doing age-appropriate things. This is occasionally very annoying, but otherwise fine.
