Week 200: Cognac

Here we are at another arbitrary milestone, 200 weeknotes 🚀 I’ve written nearly 72,000 words of them so far. That’s roughly the same as Treasure Island. Feel free to spend ~7 hours reading them all.

It wasn’t a very eventful week really. I thought it wasn’t eventful but, after writing all the stuff we did, it was quite busy!

I’ve been playing Shapez 2 quite obsessively, it’s in early release at the moment but it’s really polished and such a fun factory builder.

On Thursday we went to Not Another Quiz Night with Tammy and Marcus which was a lot of fun. I think we came 5th out of 25+ teams 👏 we went to Grasso in Soho before and tbh I wouldn’t bother again, pretty underwhelming considering the price.

On Friday we popped over to J&C’s for cocktails. Due to hand injuries and general laziness I made all the cocktails and thoroughly enjoyed it. The aim was to try and find uses for the Cognac in the cupboard, turns out there are plenty of great ones: Ampersands are delicious, Burnt Fuselages are delicious, Sidecars are delicious, and Landing Gears are delicious.

On Saturday we had a fry up in Cafe Donatella and then lazed around a lot.

Douglas Fir pissed on the bed again. At least the duvet fits in the washing machine. It’s our fault, we left the litter trays a few days longer and they didn’t smell good; bad cat owners. We’ve resolved to be better, not just because pissy beds are a pain.

On Sunday Charlotte and I went to Searcys because we had a gift voucher. We went for bottomless champagne and a roast, we managed a bottle each which is reasonable. Then we met Luke in Mr Fogg’s for cocktails; we bumped into another FT person, small world eh? We went to a few other bars and I fell asleep in my clothes 👍 this is what bank holidays are for right?

We don’t talk about Monday.
