Life

I have had the most eventful and exhausting week. It started off so well – really great day Monday, progress on on a demo, catching up with friends before I leave London. And then the shower in my apartment broke, I had to move out two weeks early, and I spent the weekend at an Open Data “creation weekend”. I am exhausted. But at least I have somewhere to stay with a working shower. So that is something!

Media

Now that How I Met Your Mother has finished, I’m watching it again from the beginning. Starting with Season 1. Still reading The Profitable Side Project, but finished Going Dutch (probably the book of hers I like least). Now reading A Girl Like You (meh).

Product links Amazon.

Places

Dinner at Kappa (so close to my old apartment but I never went before!), The Delauney (fancy!), Suzu (basic but tasty and cheap), Pearl Liang (omg BBQ pork puffs), Pham Sushi. Co-working and Cake at Look Mum No Hands! which is a cool place. Korobuta Chelsea was okay, we had terrible seats right next to the door, the food was pretty great but some of it was way overpriced. Ice cream and crepes at Amorino were fantastic though.
