      For one gig, the easiest way to find out the start date was to look in my Twitter archive, as I got it by responding to a tweet

          Yes, but I only put things down to a month's granularity, and this thing wants precise dates.

          It's taken so long to gather all the info that I've had no time to cook, and had to go to the chip shop for dinner

            We just had a drink in the pub top part but looked at the wine bar - really nice. Will explore more of this - thanks for link.

            GF#1 particularly loves this character of London, I do too despite my hatred of the commute/too-many-people aspect of it.


            Spent all day realising that the algorithms and reports were way, way, way more complicated than first quoted. Here's hoping "slight increment pretty please" won't be laughed out of the office with client #1 or I'm royally fecked...

            Already 1 week behind completion estimate....
            Best time to go into the city is at the weekend, you can then go around all those old streets undisturbed. There's certainly lots to explore.

                Ooooh! I could murder some chip shop chips.

                  Have been mulling over xmas dinner and think that a cote de boeuf with an epoisse sauce ( aka a big fat steak and cheesy sauce) sounds good.

                  All depends on if I can find someone who does aged steak locally.

                    Better still: two big fat steaks

                      If you are there in the week. The Inns of Court and Lincoln's Inn are both worth a wander through but are closed at weekends. The London Silver Vaults are just around the corner as well.

                      There are also some roman baths underneath one of the buildings in that area tucked down a little back alley on Strand Lane. It's National trust but only open on a Wednesday pm and you have to book a week in advance (as I found out when I stumbled across it by accident on one of my lunchtime perambulations while at ex-client co.)
