Outward for coworking
london (16 out of 54)
- Started and finished This is how we lose the Time War.
- Went to London for the TAG face-to-face which was very positive and productive. Spent more time in The City than I think I have before. Ate some excessively expensive food. Took the sleeper home on Burns night, and they kindly provided a bagpiper.
- Got home to find the tomatoes and pumpkins have sprouted and the sea is where I left it.
- Made a surprisingly successful cake.
- Found out another beloved local-but-not-local-enough-to-go-regularly cafe, with excellent vegan options, the Old Barn in Auchtermuchty, has closed :(
- Survived a week with only a 'work' laptop.
- Lots of rain. My windows leaked. Though you can't tell from this week's photos.
- Flying visit from Dave.
- Another soggy forage for parasols and chanterelles, a few boletes.
- Made peach cobbler at the Community Kitchen and rather fantastic cep and chanterelle lasagne, and apple shortbread pie at home.
- Went to my first meeting of the local Community Council. Managed not to volunteer for anything.
- Went to London for a day of BODS coworking. Had dinner in Mildred's with TR.
- Garden catchup, tomatoes and beans.
- Beach walkies with Lowenna.
- London for TAG meeting, and dinner with timbl. Productive week, and marginally less awful time in London than usual.
- Enjoyed Kirkcaldy Friday market, featuring Kama Vegan Bakes (who I told about the KDY market when I saw them at the Scottish Vegan Festival) and lunch at the newly opened Kangus!
- Went on a long mushroom walk not far from home but didn't come back with much.
- Got chanterelles, but failed to put them on pizza.
- Good harvests.
- Went on a rock trunting hip to a new agate spot.
- Went to London. Got total culture shock. Too many people in too small spaces. No stars. so loud.
- Started The Lefthanded Booksellers of London (though I haven't finished The Overstory but the former was lighter for taking on a trip. Also thematically appropriate.)
- Recorded a podcast?! (as a guest).
- Had IRL TAG meetings!
- Did IRL Co-op coworking!
- Saw IRL friends I haven't seen for years!
- Returned from London. Two-day long migraine immediately went.
- Spent half a day in Amsterdam, saw some cool people at WebSci.
- Took a nightbus to London.
- Three days getting to know the Open Data Services dev team, who have generously agreed to employ me for the forseeable future.
- Went to Citizen Beta's civic tech meetup.
- Briefly caught up in Hull trains' crisis, but eventually made it to Lincolnshire and spent the weekend with family. Hid in a box to surprise my brother on his 21st birthday. He was not surprised.

Three days in The City for TAG f2f. Views of shiny buildings from the Apple office. Lots of coffee and fancy food. Pizza at Purezza with MW before the Caledonian Sleeper home. There were bagpipes, because it was Burns Night.

In London it's legal to murder someone for standing on the wrong side of the escalator in the underground.

London is TOO BIG ugh it's absolutely preposterous.
Also I started with nearly £25 on my oyster card yesterday and finished with exactly £0.00 so somebody explain to me how daily capping works please? I admit there was a little bit of zone 5 involved, still this is absurd.
