London Life

๐Ÿชฉ The good news continues! My other half managed to get us tickets to see Kylie when she comes to London next May.

๐Ÿ“ธ Wow, this beauty just sailed past our apartment, at quite an impressive speed! Now I need to look up what it is and why it’s here.

๐Ÿ“ธ Looking forward to this being opened to the public soon. The whole project has changed the face of most people’s first experience of Canary Wharf: the space outside the tube station.

๐Ÿ“ธ Nice new signage in Canary Wharf. Loving all the new developments in Middle Dock and canโ€™t wait for the walkway to be open.

๐Ÿบ Enjoying a beer out on the balcony and slowly relaxing into weekend mode. Soaking up all this sunshine before itโ€™s gone!

๐Ÿ“ธ A gorgeous, if slightly hazy, view over London this evening.

๐Ÿ“ธ Some very welcome sunshine and blue skies over London this morning.

๐Ÿ“ธ Our new Samsung TV displaying a very beautiful Japanese triptych. The whole thing is just so much more visually appealing than the monstrous Sky Glass we had previously.

๐Ÿ“ธ Another grey day here in London

๐Ÿ’ป A summary of what I did, thought and experienced this week:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป That was the week that was…002

๐Ÿฆฎ I got to spend yesterday afternoon with these lovely girls. The best behaved, most affectionate dogs I know. There’s nothing quite like a Labrador snuggling up against your legs to go to sleep. Beautiful creatures.

โšก๏ธ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ Ooof. Thatโ€™s some impressive thunder and lightning over London right now. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ A little too close to home here on the 35th floor.

๐Ÿ“ธ Umm… what happened to summer in London? Hard to see in this photo, but in addition to the grey/brown sky, it’s also raining.

๐Ÿง Pub quiz update: our team came second! Amazed I was able to wrench some of the answers from the recesses of my memory. We shall return!

โœˆ๏ธ Considering airborne productivity

A brief layover at home before heading out after dinner to a local pub quiz. If I’m honest, I’d much prefer to stay in and get some more work done ahead of this weekend’s holidays. But I’ve agreed, so I’ll have to make the most of it. It’s a nice bunch of friends and it’s my first time attending this particular quiz. Plus, it was a nightmare finding a date and time that suited us all.

๐Ÿ“ธ Absolutely loving Londonโ€™s sky this evening.

๐Ÿ“ธ Londonโ€™s skyline is veryโ€ฆ Star Wars this evening. Weโ€™re just missing a second sun.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ A slow and steady run around the neighbourhood, before it gets too warm.

๐Ÿ“ธ Another stunner of a sunset this evening.

๐Ÿ“ธ Cheers from a beautifully sunny and warm London. Hereโ€™s to an excellent weekend!

๐Ÿ“ธ Enjoying a delicious Erdinger alcohol-free beer out on the balcony this evening.

๐Ÿ“ธ Despite not being in the Sitges sunshine, today was a good day.

Productive at work, some yoga and a gym workout done, and an excellent couple of episodes of Bobโ€™s Burgers enjoyed. Plus our new TV arrives tomorrow. Lots to smile about.

๐Ÿ“ธ Arrived back in London, just in time to snap this skyline from the balcony.

๐Ÿ“ธ Enjoying a few peaceful minutes taking in this view. Now it’s time for a shower and an early night.

๐Ÿ“ธ Enjoying this sunset with a pornstar martini ๐Ÿธ

๐Ÿ“ธ Decided on an al fresco lunch today, trying a new restaurant here in Canary Wharf: Oysteria.

๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ Off out in that there Soho for gay-themed shenanigans (i.e. beers with a friend in Rupert Street ๐Ÿ˜‰)

๐Ÿบ It appears to be beer oโ€™clock once again. Doing a little bit of work while I sipโ€ฆ

โ˜€๏ธ An early start in the office this morning, so I can wrap up early and enjoy some more sunshine. Who knows when Beer oโ€™clock will strike!

I just need to run a webinar, publish a YouTube video, deal with insurance admin and edit a podcast episode first. Whew.

๐Ÿ“ธ Good evening from a very warm London.
