I got back and had lots of meetings with many people and groups about getting into my AI startup work.

There was still plenty of fun to be had. I got to do another performance/rehearsal at Merkato Mayfair with Ready Singer One. Steph came at the end and we walked a little around Hyde park, but there was a big concert with lots of people in cowboy hats. We ended up wandering to the Wellington Arch, which was way bigger inside that I expected. We also bought a lot of the English Heritage mead while we were there.

I did my typical club meetings of two choir rehearsals and getting drinks at Holborn BSAC. I made it to Yonder to do some coworking and climbing, which has since become a weekly thing.

Saturday we went to Hammersmith for The Empire Strips Back. It was a good show, although I liked the one in SF better. The British audience was also way less enthusiastic, but that is fitting for the Brits. Sunday we went to the Docklands Museum of London, which had an exhibit on mudlarking. It was decent, although I’m not sure if I prefer that one or the one in the Tate Modern more. After the museum we went to Roe, a restaurant that Steph has been watching youtube videos about. We had an amazing Sunday roast there.

The next week I was again going to my clubs, but only Ready Singer One was meeting for choirs. Dive club happened on Wednesday, and I met up with Punit at Yonder on Thursday. I took Steph to a cute Japanese cafe where they have the egg sandwich that she likes with the egg showing in the middle. It was decent, but the flavours weren’t as strong as we’ve become accustomed to.

George and Paul were in town over the weekend. We had to stop by Coal Office, but didn’t get much to eat there. We went to Fallow with George, and had an amazing lunch there. It is the same owners as Roe. Then we walked all the way back to our place, since there were some issues with the mass transit. The walk was long, but nice. We met Paul at a pub, and then we went to a Greek place for a late dinner. It was really good seeing them, and it felt a lot like old times. It makes me realise that I don’t miss California at all besides the people that we had great friendships with there. Those people I miss a lot.

During these weeks the renovations on our new flat progressed well.
