Backup
Wednesday 4th January 2023
Got a new external hard drive to back up all the videos from my GoPro, and spent some time writing a script to do the backup and sort them into folders.

Gallette des Rois
Thursday 5th January 2023
Early evening visit to the heath. Later on in the evening we had another gallette des rois, and I got the "feve" (charm?) so wore the corresponding crown. Although it looked much better on Erika of course.

Wahaca
Sunday 8th January 2023
We haven't been to Wahaca since the one in Kentish Town closed, and Erika wanted to have their churros again. So for lunch we headed to the original one in Covent Garden. Afterwards the girls went to do some shopping and I headed to the heath.

Tuesday 10th January 2023

Gemma
Thursday 12th January 2023
Old work friend Gemma was briefly in town (she currently lives in the US), so we rounded up some of the usual suspects for a night out.

Theatre
Sunday 15th January 2023
I went to the Theatre this evening, to see a one-off play about Norman Balon, the former landlord of the Coach and Horses in Soho - kind of a follow on to Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell. To be honest the play wasn't that great, but I managed to get a box and that was nice.

Goring, Streatley and the Bell Inn at Aldworth
Saturday 28th January 2023
Decided to go for a daytime stroll today, out in the Berkshire countryside, to revisit some old haunts - Goring and Streatley, then the beautiful Bell Inn at Aldworth.

Kenwood and a Surprisingly nice Sunset
Sunday 29th January 2023
A much longer than usual perambulation on the heath this afternoon, including a foray up to Kenwood House to try and find some snowdrops, and a surprisingly nice sunset seen from atop Parliament Hill.
