📸 My first office commute in two weeks… and it’s freezing 🥶 Can’t believe I was sitting in the Tokyo sunshine wearing just a T-shirt just three days ago.
📸 Canary Wharf reflections earlier this morning.
📸 Love this pic I took of my partner at dinner last night. 😍
📸 The sunshine this morning has heated up my living room to 24.5C and I am loving it. Not planning on moving from here for a while!
🥂 Last night’s meal at Marceline was phenomenal.
The service is friendly, attentive and authentically nice. The food has been consistently excellent. The prices are very reasonable and I leave feeling it was a fair exchange. Finally, the physical environment is cute and the ambience is just lovely.
📸 Good morning from a very calm and peaceful London.
📸 Another view of the new installation here in Canary Wharf. Eerie and lovely at the same time.
📸 Nothing special here, I just thought the combination of building angles was nice.
📸 Down at the Southbank Centre for a meeting.
📸 Looking out on a very misty/foggy London this morning.
📸 I know I’ve been moaning a lot about the weather lately, so let me go on the record and say I’m absolutely loving this October sunshine. It has kept me positive and energised all day today.
📸 Enjoying the view from here, selfie edition…
Glad to be home before sunset once again. It’s getting more and more difficult! And seeing as I was in the office by 7:30am this morning, I don’t feel bad for leaving when I did.
📸 Another shot of last night’s stunning sunset over London.
📸 A stunning view while I cook tonight’s dinner.
✏️ The week that was, 14th to 20th October
Sunday, October 20, 2024
I’ve remembered to write up my weekly note, even if the week isn’t strictly speaking over. This week was mostly about travel, work and fun, with a big helping of delicious food. 👉🏻 Read on here📸 I took this shot of the Canary Wharf skyline from my mum’s hotel room, a little after 6pm yesterday. I couldn’t get over how amazing the sky looked at that time of day. We enjoyed watching the sunset, then headed to the executive lounge for quite a few glasses of bubbles 🥂
🍽️ We had the most incredble meal at a new local restaurant last night. Marceline, in Canary Wharf. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. Food, service, ambience. I had the biggest and best serving of Moules Frites in my life. Thoroughly recommended if you’re in the neighbourhood.
📸 The difference a few hours can make! We headed into town for some shopping, a beer in Soho and some lunch. Enjoyed a fab lunch at Ben’s on Brewer Street. Accompanied by sunshine all the way.
And now it’s time to recharge the batteries before cocktails and then dinner here in Canary Wharf.
📸 This weather is not sparking joy. But I’m bringing my visiting mum into the West End later for some shopping and then drinks in Soho. So there’s no time to mope!
📸 Good evening from a beautifully sunny London.
The plan for this evening is very simple.
Hubbie is making us steaks, we’re watching the last couple of episodes of Tokyo Vice, and then I’m going to bed early with an iPad and a bunch of digital comics. Simple pleasures. A perfect combination for an evening like this.
🥶 I’m feeling chilled to the bone today. I’m in the office, but all I want to do is run home, put on my sweatpants and crawl under my duvet. When is Spring again?
📸 An early start this morning! The scene as I left home to make my way to London City Airport for my flight by to Dublin. Beautiful clear blue skies, so I’m hoping for a smooth flight.
📸 The sun did, in fact, eventually make an appearance over London today.
I snapped this as soon as I got in from the office and it reminded me to sit down, take a moment and be grateful. There were lots of items left on my task list, but there’s always time to sit and taken in this view.
There are, in fact, still loads of things remaining on my task list. And there always will be.
But I enjoyed the break by the window.
📸 Just passing through…
📸 What’s that? Nothing. Just a giant rubber dock floating by West India Quay…
📸 One of the new Nature Rising installations in Jubilee Park, Canary Wharf. It’s giving a lot of Doctor Who vibes…
📸 I wasn’t expecting to, but I’ve just spent a very pleasant couple of hours in the sunshine on my balcony.
Writing, planning for the week ahead, and doing some basic admin. All the time enjoying the view, while trying to ignore the noise coming from the building site below.
But seriously. Where was this weather in August?! Anyway, I’m glad I was at home to enjoy it and not stuck in my office. Now to pack away all my work ‘stuff’, and start my weekend.
