ESW at the Office Friday 3rd March 2017 Had a bottle or two of ESW with the usual suspects after work at the office. | Shopping with Erika Saturday 4th March 2017 Played at home and in the garden for the first part of the day. In the afternoon I took Erika with me on a few shopping errands (and therefore had to sweeten the deal with a promise of ice cream!) including buying the Champagne coupes / saucers for my upcoming birthday party. | |
Vegan Fried Chicken Sunday 5th March 2017 Ralph came to visit us briefly in the morning as they were passing through. In the afternoon I went to Hackney to try the new vegan fried chicken place, then went on to join Chie and Erika in Haringey where they were visiting friends. | The Wrong Playground Tuesday 7th March 2017 Chie was indisposed today, so I left work early to pick Erika up from school, then proceeded to take her to the wrong playground. | |
The Shed Thursday 9th March 2017 Had lunch at The Shed in Notting Hill with Chie to pick up a few cases of Nutbourne wine for my upcoming party. | Cherry Blossom and Pub Lunch Tuesday 14th March 2017 Took some pictures of the cherry blossom in our back garden in the morning. Had an odd sort of pub lunch with a couple of the usual suspects wherein the actual food was more of a fry up. | |
My Birthday Wednesday 15th March 2017 Took the day off, got a hair cut in the morning followed by a drink at the Lamb on Lamb's Conduit Street and lunch at Ciao Bella. Picked Erika up from school in the afternoon, took her to the playground for a bit, then went to the Pineapple, followed by dinner at Franco Manca. | My 40th Birthday Party Friday 17th March 2017 My slightly surreal 40th birthday - a sort of tweedy Mardi Gras. With an elephant. Of course. | Guildford Saturday 18th March 2017 Amazingly the day after my birthday party I was well enough to go with Mum, Chie and Erika down to Guildford to visit Adrian, Liz and the kids. |
Mum in London Sunday 19th March 2017 Mum / Grandma Mary in London for the daytime. Went for lunch at Wahaca on Erika's suggestion. | ||
Passport Renewal Wednesday 22nd March 2017 Had a surprisingly nice day renewing my passport, which meant being based at my old office down in Victoria for the day, including lunch at Oliveto. | Working from Home, and Sabrage with a Spoon Thursday 23rd March 2017 Worked from home today, had Thai food for lunch at the Pineapple. In the evening I tested the rumour that you can perform sabrage with a spoon. It turns out to be entirely accurate. | |
Jim's Stag Do Saturday 25th March 2017 One of the Jims from work was having a very civilised stag do, which involved visiting breweries in East London, and I joined for a bit of it, but hardly took any pictures. | Monday before New York Monday 27th March 2017 The day before I went off to New York on my business trip. I worked from home, and popped down to the place where my party had been held at lunchtime to pick up the portrait I'd entirely accidentally forgotten to take home after the party. Honest. |
Thursday 2nd March 2017
Nice sky over King's Cross on my way home from work.
