London Life

πŸ“Έ Goodnight 😴

I’ve just been for a lunchtime walk around my office’s neighbourhood in East London.

I was blown away by the number of drivers I saw driving while using their mobile phones. Virtually nobody had eyes on the road and both hands on the steering wheel. Narrow streets, cars parked on both sides. A recipe for an accident - made all the more likely by this kind of bullshit behaviour.

πŸ“† A superb Monday so far!

πŸ“Έ Waking up to sunshine and blue skies definitely takes the edge off a Monday morning.

πŸ“Έ Managed to get an hour of uninterrupted sun on the balcony before the dark clouds came back. Definitely better than nothing.

Aaaargh. My hay fever is off the scale this morning. Feeling utterly miserable and I haven’t even left the apartment yet. Eyes streaming, constant sneezing, itchy all over. Seems my meds aren’t doing a thing today.

πŸ“Έ The new seating / viewing platform in the dock at Canary Wharf is really coming together. Soon it’ll be the perfect place to enjoy a coffee in the sun. If the sun ever makes an appearance this summer.

πŸ“Έ London looking golden this evening.

I knew I bought these dungarees for a reason! Loving this afternoon’s music, sunshine and beers at Mighty Hoopla!

🍺 Enjoyed a few hours wandering down the Bermondsey Beer Mile, sampling delicious beers and enjoying the sporadic sunshine.

🦷 Starting my weekend with a trip to the dentist.

Nothing serious, just a check-up. But never, ever anything less than a chore.

😭 Home early from work, but it’s far from good news: my hay fever is off the scale today.

Despite taking my usual antihistamines. I went for a walk in the part at lunchtime and have been suffering ever since. On the sofa, feeling very sorry for myself, trying not to rip out my own eyes.

πŸ“Έ Some really beautiful London skies this evening…

β˜€οΈ Working on my tan and catching up with all my podcasts from earlier this week.

πŸ“Έ Enjoying brunch out on the balcony

🍺 Some delicious beers in the very welcome afternoon sun, at our local, the Munich Cricket Club.

πŸ“Έ Lovely to be back in London. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight.

πŸ“Έ The view from the balcony this evening. 😍

πŸ“Έ Reflections

Still enjoying the glorious sunshine out on my balcony. β˜€οΈ

🧠 My Apple Watch is telling me I got 4.5hrs of sleep last night.

I’m therefore lying down in the sun on my balcony and not planning on moving any time soon.

Moar sleeeeep pleaze…

πŸ“Έ The whole of Canary Wharf was enveloped in thick fog this morning

πŸ“ΈAny excuse to get my trotters out in the sun 🀣

πŸ“Έ This beast just sailed past my apartment building

πŸ“Έ We may have had a couple of beers in the sunshine before the Eurovision semi-final…

πŸ“Έ I have the gym all to myself this afternoon!

πŸ“Έ Good morning from Canary Wharf…

πŸ“Έ London looking beautifully green and blue this evening…

🍻 An outdoor pint, in the sun, surrounded by dogs. I may be in heaven.

πŸ“Έ The sun is streaming through our apartment’s windows and I am pretending it’s July and I’m in Spain.

πŸ“Έ This day last year, I was sunbathing on our balcony in London. Absolutely no chance of that today!!
