Leaving Do

[Thursday 2nd October]
We'd had another intern working with us the last 3 months, and this week his internship came to and end so he invited us out for a couple of drinks. I hadn't really had much involvement with him in the time he'd been here, but I think he had done some good work for us, so it felt important to take part in giving him a bit of a send off.

We actually revisited one of the pubs from Tuesday's Belgravia Pub Crawl - The Nag's Head - although we caught it earlier in the evening today, and it didn't really have quite the same atmosphere. Just a bit too busy perhaps.

So I then proposed we go for a wander and try to find a different pub, and wandered into Knightsbridge, ending up at the Paxton's Head. It was OK I suppose, but a tad soulless by comparison, and in hindsight I wondered if we might have been better off staying in Belgravia.

The whole evening was a bit of a damp squid really, I felt a bit sorry for our intern - only me and two others (from a team of around 15) actually came along in the first place, and somehow we were all in a bit of a drab mood. So we called it a night not long after 9, and I decided as it was a pleasant enough evening I would just walk back home.
