I made numerous small fixes and improvements to django-cast. I also dabbled in Rust game development again and can now draw 2D maps in LDtk and load them into a game. It's just a small step forward, but I didn't struggle with the compiler as much as I anticipated - I'm starting to like Rust.
The weather has been lovely lately, so we bought a barbecue and visited a nearby zoo.
