  • I completed Astro Bot which is maybe the best platformer I’ve ever played, I can understand why it got such great reviews. Every level introduces something unique and it’s really fun and charming, I’ll almost definitely play through it again and it’s nice to see new levels still being added. I’m not quite at 100%, few more things to collect and I actually will because this game is a delight.

  • Arjun and I did an impromptu jägerbomb crawl on Thursday which was quite nice. An old colleague used to swear that a jägerbomb at the end of the night cancels out a hangover. It’s not true, folks, he was just 20 years old. Despite it not being true I had the kind of hangover on Friday where I’m somehow really productive, possibly just a lot of residual redbull in my system.

  • On Friday evening we went to Six by Nico and had six courses of murder-mystery-themed food. It was good, however a large plate of chips would have probably suited me better. The wine pairing did help though!

  • Smashing it at work at the moment lxds, having a good time with several different projects at once and being very productive

  • Also being more active with Unite, seeing increased membership and we have an outside-of-work communication channel now 👍 I think we have it on semi-easy-mode because Unite is already recognised and the business has a productive relationship with the NUJ already. Maybe I’ll become a rep?

  • We got tickets for Pitbull, Mr. Worldwide himself, at the O2 😎 buying a bald cap
