update - cycle, weekend, etc.
Meant to get this in last week...
It seems to me the weeks are getting longer and the weekends shorter. Definitely felt that way last week. Might be just how much I was doing, not sure.
I was in the office for 10-11 hours every day last week, and I was working pretty much all of that (as opposed to just hanging about to be seen, which I left behind at my last job). On top of that, I cycled in three three times and went for a 20 mile ride after work on Tuesday. That's about 65 miles of cycling over three days. Very good for me (though my waistline doesn't show it yet) but very tiring.
Friday was poker. Not only was I relieved to sit on a train for my commute, but it's been so long I was really looking forward to seeing the guys. We were a bit under-provisioned for the evening, but that can help the poker a bit. In fact, I won 2 rounds and came in second in the 3rd.
Saturday we caught up with some friends and finally made it to Frank's Campari Lounge, a popup bar on top of a car park. Brilliant. Great cocktails, good atmosphere, and all in all a good bit of fun. A bicyclette may be my new favourite drink - white wine and Campari over ice. Mm. We then headed across town to a popup steak place above a pub. Also brilliant, great steak for a tenner and another couple rounds of seriously good cocktails. It was that sort of day. Made possible by my success at poker...
And now it's Monday. Wish I could have taken the day off to watch the Olympics (how great was the opening ceremony?!?!?) but it's going to be another busy week here. Hopefully not quite as late.
