There was a lot to finish off for the weekend, especiallyContinue reading “Day 135: Exhaustion -> Lina Stores to the rescue”

Thursday L woke up early again as she had loads of stuff to do, and headed off to Granger and Co while A was still in bed to get an early morning coffee.

L hadn’t slept but had loads of work to do, and so was up super early writing her diversity action plan and prepping for her meetings throughout the day.

L & A decided to head to Caravan instead of coffee at home, and after a sneaky move got onto a big table in the sun.

A worked initially on his WB work (solving how to createContinue reading “Day 131: A makes Salmon but mostly work”

L had a date with some school friends in Highgate, and they quickly realised there was no possibility to walk (SO FAR AWAY) or Boris Bike there (he’s not only a London PM, he’s a central London PM) so they headed to the cold, frozen wasteland that is the North of London by Lime bike.Continue reading “Day 130: Lime-ing to Highgate”

The best thing about arriving back from holiday on Wednesday night is that there’s only 2 working days til Friday. L woke up quite excited and she rushed A to Caravan for a coffee and work outside. They sat in the sun working together and then L rushed back for a pilates class which feltContinue reading “Day 128: Meeting Daniel”

L woke up for work and spent the morning going through a million emails and it felt like a harsh snap back to reality. Also she opened her Instagram and Whatsapp for the first time in a week and felt stressed by the amount of things she had to do. Meanwhile, A got annoyed asContinue reading “Day 127: Back to reality”

Wednesday They woke up and packed their bags to check out of Plaza Marchi. They headed to Kruscic bakery and bought some stuff to take home (which L just forgot about and found, 3 days later) and Kava coffee again where the girls recognised them.
