Boo!

Doing research into SEO for Indifresh.

Halloween dinner at Blenheim for IC & LC, and Andrea. Mel's chilli is epic. Made mulled cider and pumpkin pie. Carving pumpkins on the balcony, and then playing Cards Against Humanity.

On a work roll

10.4forty-two
TICKETS TO SOUTH AFRICA BOOKED!

Getting to play with Adobe Animate (I know I know - so late)... like an old friend! Flash 2.0! \0/

Indifresh site build coming along nicely, thanks to free template from HTML5 up.

Elle's leaving do on Friday at The Turk's Head. Wow. Saturday Brunch with Su's awesome £100 win! SJ, Cathy, Su and me made small change of that, with Prosecco and Bucks Fizz, a fantastic meal, and completely superfluous cake round. Rolled out of there.

Winning at work!

10.3forty-one
Working in Charlotte street (SMP). Originally a one-day contract turned into two weeks, thanks to AE and HTML5. ATM video first time. Band practice trying out singers - this week's hipster didn't turn up. Collected scanned slides from dad. Great day at work on Thursday. Back to Rohan for first fortnightly session. Dreams ensue! Working with Mel on her pitch for Bj.

Sound of Music singalong in Prince Charles cinema, after a quick bite to eat at Super Star Chinese - very good! Prawn dumplings on par with Ping Pong... unheard of! Also beef dish and pork buns.

Friday INDIfresh site design and phoning BT, Ams, Roz and Elin on Sunday at P Ex. Handmade vegas card with dollars in it got a 'wow' :) Then off to Orchestra to finally play the snare piece! All good except for the roll... Doesn't matter - I asked for it and it's mine :)

Discussions and research around SA trip. Finally booked on Sunday evening along with hot chocolate and Archer. Discogs collection halfway catalogued.

The popcorn trials

10.2forty
100% score on the strict European countries test! Popcorn trials involving pyrex bowls, tupperware and microwave bags. Tupperware working best so far... Have just decided to spend Christmas alone. Peaks and troughs of looking forward to it and dreading it. Feeling much better knowing that I won't be alone for New Year as well!

Set up Github and codeanywhere. CI banners handed in successfully. Spent Saturday relentlessly beating down the Elgar piece (EU). Didn't play it on Sunday!

Band vocalist trials continue. Really like C, but Dave1 is in opposition. Dinner with Su on Thursday! Got a job in Charlotte street. Update to Threadless Artist shop.

I HAVE MY PHONE BACK!!

Just finished the Dresden Dolls live stream for the gig I missed. Fantastic :) Finished off instructions for bedside table - now waiting to buy and build! Trying VERY hard to avoid minishop work. Failing often...

First band practice back is awesome. Visiting Ams in Clapham. City Index banners, admin etc. Off to The British Museum to see sunken cities! Listening to audiobook Quiet with renewed interest. Catching The Fall, season 2, on BBC by chance!

Skype D&D session was a lot of fun, despite bad call quality. Vida has her first tattoo! Updated portfolio. Being called the BEST SISTER EVER :)
