London Weekly 56.

Steph and I finished up Season 2 of Loki this week, but we also happened to see some of the actors from the show around London.

On Monday I had lunch at Kaki with Nastia. I think she enjoyed it, but we went late enough that I couldn’t fit in a climb with it. We will have to meet up again, but focus on the climbing aspect.

Tuesday, Steph and I went to afternoon tea at the Rosewood. It was one of the best we’ve had in London, even tied with The Langham. The scones were the best we’ve had for sure, as they weren’t overly dry like many British scones have been. As we were entering the building we walked right past Ke Huy Quan, who played OB in Loki.

Tuesday evening I met up with a few of the other baritones from choir and we sang karaoke. One of them was moving away and it was a few guys from choir, plus some of his coworkers. I had a good time, and look forward to spending more time with that group. They mentioned a piano bar that has show tunes singalongs, and that sounds amazing. Hopefully we can do that some time in the new year.

Wednesday was pretty relaxed, as the dive club meeting was cancelled. On my way home from working out I walked past Liz Carr, just half a block from our place. She is also an actor in Loki.

Thursday evening we headed to Leicester Square. First we had dinner at Lanzhou Lamian Noodle Bar, and it was really good. We then stopped by the Christmas market in Trafalgar Square. We also had to get a picture in front of the tree there. Then we continued down towards St. James park, but it was already empty and dark. We walked back to Leicester Square to see the Sh**faced Pissmass Carol; an adaptation of A Christmas Carol with one of the actors being highly intoxicated. I enjoyed myself, but it was very late; starting at 9:30.

Friday we got the new Mario Wonder, and played through a few levels. Pretty much nobody was at the office on Friday, so I got to work on whatever I felt like.

Saturday I cooked some more of Steph’s scones, and went to Castle Climbing Center with Carla. We did the outdoor climbing, and even though it was cold we had a great time. It was nice to be able to top out on the climbs.

Sunday we played a round of Frosthaven and then finished cooking for dinner with Nancy and Punit at their place. We made more blueberry scones, deviled eggs, and an asian flavored lentil dish. Punit made a tasty mac n cheese, and Nancy made some pies and green bean casserole. I had a great time over dinner, and we played some codenames and a fun card game they introduced us to. On the way home we had a bit of an adventure as the train stopped at a station that was way before we wanted. But luckily there was a bus pretty much directly back.
