This week we really started putting the flat together. My hands were aching from all the screwing and pressing the furniture together.

Monday we got the first round of IKEA in. On Tuesday a lot of the furniture we got on Amazon came in. Wednesday was the dining room set and TV stand. Thursday was the second round from IKEA. Somewhere in there we got internet and a mattress.

I also had people over for the first time on Wednesday, for the second London meetup of N1AI that I’ve hosted. The first was mostly my AI interested friends and Nicola in the old flat. This was a great group, and we got to discuss a lot about how we would want to work together. We all did introductions socially and professionally, and that took up pretty much the entire evening. I enjoyed meeting everyone and hope to work with them in the future.

Friday we met Lata at Mestizo for some really good Mexican food. We also picked some up for our housewarming party.

On Sunday I joined one of the other Ready Singer One choir members to see My Neighbor Totoro again. It is such a great show, with amazing puppetry. Also, I had a really good book club discussion for Embassytown. It went all over the place, but the book really provides a lot to talk about. I would highly recommend it, especially for discussion groups.
