Full game of 8 a side footy. Just my second since Covid. Am I going to regret this in the morning? I am due to take my 3 year old to see a show tomorrow, thankfully it’s in the arts centre just round the corner.

The sticker on the dishwasher I bought said it was AI enabled. But now the flap which holds the dishwasher tablet is broken and it’s not cleaning properly. The AI is nowhere to be seen.

I made effort the to get the ironing board and iron out this morning only to now discover on the Jubilee Line that I’d only ironed one leg of my trousers 🤦🏻‍♂️

A while ago I wrote about how we can assure innovation projects proportionately, so teams can deliver at pace with confidence. Going to do a talk on this with the MHCLG Local AI team next week. www.softwire.com/perspectives...

Proportionate by design: governing AI without the friction

Proportionate AI governance reduces friction, focuses assurance where it matters, and helps teams innovate safely without slowing delivery.

Had a nice time in Italy last week. Quite a lot of pasta and pizza. Some travel chaos. Serious amount of gelato.

This is my new favourite news article of 2026. I'm all for sport innovation and making it more exciting for fans! "The course passed an independent technical assessment into its suitability. The assessment did not consider the crocodiles but instead looked at..." www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympi...

Off for a much needed break in Italy with the family. I really hope Gatwick is kind to me today 💜

I’ve been head down for a few months. Immersed in some gov departments. And again, building services and modernising legacy is the easy part. It’s all people and culture but that still takes the hard work.

Got to watch The Odyssey at the BFI IMAX last night. Pretty incredible movie, probably need to watch it again to really take it all in. Is it ok to say I preferred some of Nolan’s other movies? The cinema, though. Wow! What an experience.

I really don’t know what’s more frustrating. Seeing Saka and Rashford do the very thing we needed against Argentina or the obvious fact that France are not at all bothered about this game

Lovely weekend back in Istanbul with the lads. Started off 👎🏼 when I collapsed twice on the plane but once we got there things picked up. Lot of walks and delicious food and sights and laughter with old friends. Incredible city 🇹🇷

I watched an interview with Christopher Nolan describe the intricate process of filming with IMAX cameras, cutting the film, digitally editing it and then glueing it back together. Where can I watch The Odyssey in a IMAX 70mm screening?

Great second half! Loved that Saka/Rashford cameo at the end. Also Djed Spence, who is the first Muslim player to represent the senior England mens football team ❤️

Nice to see Test and learn gaining momentum in gov right now. Some gov folk have raised two questions. Leaders: if teams are experimenting, how does it tie back to strategy? Teams: Are OKRs and portfolios still the right framework? I think they matter more: rummanamin.co.uk/the-golden-t...

The golden thread still holds - Rumman Amin

Test and learn changes what a strategy is for, what OKRs measure and how portfolios deliver. The golden thread connecting them is how experiments add up to outcomes.

At GDS we had the golden thread on a wall: strategy down to teams, every person able to point at why their work mattered. Under test and learn that thread comes to life. Intent flows down, learning flows back up. New post: rummanamin.co.uk/the-golden-t...

Went to see the The Mandalorian and Grogu. It was quite a let down IMHO.

Technical debt always loses the prioritisation battle, but ignoring it isn't free. It's deferred cost with interest. I wrote about how gov teams can tackle it. Make debt visible, protect sprint capacity, and modernise incrementally without stopping delivery. rummanamin.co.uk/tackling-tec...

We've seen why it's critical to run things safely. Often this can be traced back to decisions made over time. This framing is helpful for teams. Adds weight to raise outside of retros. Short post on tackling tech debt. Make it visible + modernise incrementally. rummanamin.co.uk/tackling-tec...

Absolutely exhausted after completing Umrah but it’s indescribable how I felt to see the Kaaba in person for the first time. Reading about it and seeing it on TV doesn’t really compare when you see the whole place, scale of people and the pilgrimage itself.
