A lovely sight on a lovely autumn sunny afternoon - a group of people sitting down for their takeaway lunch.
We'd come here to have lunch in Italian café-restaurant Emideli as a farewell to the old intranet system which I used to work on - with current team members M, F and Judith as well as C and Stuart C. Lots of gossip and ranting about old and new systems, the whinging about the 60% office rule and when we remembered, nicer things. I totally stuffed my face with a huge pizza and a bit of chocolate biscuit cake.
Went to the Croydon office with F to work after meeting Alice who joined us there. Stifling hot and I was so tired after yesterday's late night and too much food that I struggled to stay awake. But great views of the surrounding city and glimpses of sunset as it was on the 18th floor.
I hung on in there till 7 before making my way to the Oval Tavern for a gig with fiddler and accordionist James Delarre and Saul Rose - jolly tunes and the odd miserable folk song. Lucy D turned up so had some company in this very nice pub - and ate an unnecessary portion of chips.
Left 10.15 to trek across London, home by 11.30. M arrived not long after me and T and B had already retired. They hadn't been to see my mum as she had a slight cold and wanted to rest.
There is a huge Ginko tree in the garden next door to us.....it is completely denuded of leaves now....I know this they are all spread around my garden !!!!!
That was a very long day……bet you slept that night! Lovely view of your co workers as they eat lunch under the Ginkgo tree. Yellow leaves…. Harry always fancies buying one of those trees as he used to take the tablets!
( which has reminded me to discover the supplement - good for the brain ).
You’ve had a super busy day. Wonderful!
