Visiting Ams in LBG, lunch with SJ and work friends on the steps of the church by the BBC. Escape the room game in Finsbury park - aced it in 32 minutes! GWN pub quiz in Barbican with Jo&O and shaw - lovely people! DIRTY DANCING on Sunday was absolutely WONDERFUL. Kicked our ball about, took part in camp games, bought legendary BBC double LP, ate hotdogs despite having packed fajitas and a litre of G&T for lunch...! All dressed up, watching the show with a very interactive crowd :) Had a really lovely time.

SHOWTIME!

Carmen opera at The Blackheath Halls. Mel and Andrea come to watch on the first night, SJ and Su on the second night! Old lady's hip injury at half time... :( Third show percussion swap around with Andrew - swap back at half time after Nick reprimands us. Last performance is perfect.

Making friends in the office, lemon tree in the well! Birthdays!! Birthday breakfast with candles :) Meeting a new recruiter (Gemini), Finn's birthday!

Picnic in the Olympic park with Stacy & Simone, etc. The longest walk to get there! Custard milkshake afterwards in Westfield.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have internet! I also appear to have found the whole of my desk! Just in time for the carpets to be cleaned. NASA's Juno enters into orbit around Jupiter, and Djokovich is out of Wimbledon before the quarter-finals. Federer follows soon after, leaving the finals to Murray and Rrrrrraonic. Murray wins.

All week at RZF. Pingpong with the lady every day - so much fun! Trying out a new dimsum restaurant near TCR. Tattoo discussions with my besties. 3D sketches for Nes' shoji screens, as well as my bedside table.

Missus off to Scotland. Grateful that we managed to iron out wrinkles and reconnect before that. Asian food market in Peckham with Mel on Friday evening - double rainbow is the payoff for the rain! 15 minute wait for bubblewrap dessert.

Getting my ears pierced! Back at RZF, and just about managing to get to gym once a week...

Doing some light shopping at Sainsburys. CD from Dad full of 70's african rock - amazing. More 'light' shopping in John Lewis. Nice new jacket and shirt. Redoing SJ and Sb's treasure hunt in Kingston. Another IKEA run, this time with some heavier furniture.

LONDON PRIDE! So colourful! Spur-of-the-moment decision to go and have a look, mostly thanks to Su! IKEA build session with Mel. Managing to clear my desk! Talking shoji screens with nes. Carmen tickets bought for Su and SJ! RV and Fred released from the box!

New handbag discussions with the girls. IKEA run! Hotdog and ice-cream :) Loot small enough to carry home, Agree to come back. Finn starts martial arts classes. Deliveroo from Byron is a little disappointing.

Nes finds a new place! Right next door at Catherine's lol. Looks lovely though. Huge welt on my forehead from the broom cupboard door.

Radiohead finally puts In Rainbows on spotify!! \0/ Mel on holiday in Spain with Andrea - gives me room to settle in. Serious 3D experiments in room layout as I sit in my office chair in the kitchen. Room is definitely smaller than before :-O Finally make it to the record store right outside our flat - pick up Billy Joel's double LP for a fiver!!

Bed is finally up after SJ's valiant push for helping me sort the layout! JL wardrobe built, IKEA cupboard built! Magic!  :) Using every last one of the shoe racks in some place or the other. Bought a handbag :) Completely missing the Taste of London Food Festival in Regents Park. Missing my date with Ams, who lands back in hospital. Dealing with Nes and mom's fallout. Missing my panel talk on women in radio as well. Nesting though :)

Sunday morning sitting on my balcony with coffee and biscuits, loving life.
