Week 245: Satan's Whiskers

A week of members meetings, prepping for holiday, more foot injuries, excellent cocktails, delicious pizza, and some fresh cat grass.

What even happened this week? It’s been a blur, trying to drag my head back to normality temporarily.
We had our monthly Unite members meeting, growing steadily in attendance as we increase membership and people realise that stuff is happening 🎉 my focus on comms has paid dividends and we run a monthly newsletter now.
Otherwise it’s been quite quiet, trying to prep for our next trip and make sure my team’s work is covered while I’m away. Due to some staffing changes I will return to a much more pleasant and productive working environment.
I hurt my foot, lots of pain in my first metatarsophalangeal joint which means walking is very annoying. Not even sure how it happened tbh but I definitely wasn’t drunk this time. It’s improved a lot but this is less than ideal ahead of a holiday where I expect to be out and about a bunch. Oh well, maybe I’ll just lounge about while people fetch me things 🤷
On Sunday we ticked off a few nearby recommendations, we went to Satan’s Whiskers with J&C for excellent cocktails which I think deserve the hype, I highly recommend it. Afterwards we had pizza at Sodo which is also great, easily one of the best pizzas I’ve had in London.
Our homegrown cat grass died so I went to buy some more seeds before realising you can just order it pregrown in a pot, far less waiting time and the lads are very happy.
