Life

Last frantic day in London, then some quiet time getting stuff done, and one relaxing day off! Then – to Copenhagen!

Work

Meetings and catching up, or maybe it’s more like the last couple of weeks of rushing around is catching up with me. Didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but that is basically always true.

Places

Lunch at Tohbang, dinner at Mestizio.

Media

Finished Pioneer Programmer, but No Novel November approaches so mostly enjoying my last novels until December! Finished False Colours, read Faro’s Daugher, Foundling, Frederica, and Friday’s Child (I am working through alphabetically).

Watching How I Met Your Mother Season 2, and also background coding movie was A Cinderella Story.
