- Had a lovely run through the middle of the city. Ended up going through an alley where some old person obviously has to shuffle out every day and open a huge old old wooden door to allow the public footway to be passable.
- The breakfast at the Facebook office with an old friend (Hi Chris!) was a novelty this week, we sat on colourful plastic chairs and chatted about our kids, how it was to work for facebook and how our lives have changed since Fjord London.
- Our daughters are currently asleep at 3pm on a Sunday because they want to watch the football later and last night the eldest went to a friends sleepover which severly reduced her sleep score.
- All the nerds and I gathered at the front of the stage after the Neils Frahm barbican gig to geek out on his instrument setup. The other nerds accepted me as one of the gang and told me a lot of things that I looked like I cared about. “The glass harmonica is a new addition” “This is the exact setup of his studio”. It was interesting and the whole show surprisingly didn’t lullaby me to sleep.
- Before Frahm, the group of attendees & I went to a local fish restaurant near Old St that was not gentrified and didn’t serve small plates. It was delicious, well priced and est’d in 1968 in a way that you could taste in the quality of the prawn cocktail and squid starter. I had Halibutt and Samphire and it was salty, buttery and excellent.
- Our eldest had her parents evening this week which we came out of with the feedback: “loves reading but I sometimes have to physically prise a book out of her hands when we’re doing maths”. 📚
