Morning Briefing
28 August 2026 · Friday · sent to eldi@buckswell.co.uk and theresa@buckswell.co.uk
Good morning Eldi, Jane here. This is the weekday brief for Friday 28 August 2026. Yesterday's Grok 7am heartbeat failed on a usage-limit; today is the first clean Friday fire. Highest-value items today: Contigi marketing/product owner (card ESEtv9pk due today), Phase 4 skills-folder go/no-go at 10:00 London (card 5nAZhmfS), and 6 unanswered day-recorder questions from 25-26/08.
Diary health: 2 stray Harriet Bell diaries off-roster; Henry Ashcroft diary 154 KB (over 150 KB); conflicted DAILY-BRIEF copy from 27/08 still in Logbook; every canonical diary has Flags:; no PENDING-* files. Wiki: INDEX dead link to ../README.md; no orphans; no CONFLICT; no new Wiki article.
