Mom and Dad were in town this week, so I spent as much time with them as I could. On Monday they came over to our place, then we went to lunch at Walker City. I think they liked our flat, and how good the view is. It also has a much better layout than the previous one with the furniture fitting it better.

Monday evening I went to RS1 choir rehearsal, and had a great time. It is so nice to have a group of people I really get along with. I hope to spend more time with them and do more things with them. The Discord channel they have is highly active with lots of people planning all sorts of events.

Tuesday I met up with Marissa in the morning at the Wellcome Collection in their library room. It is an amazing coworking space as long as you don’t need a charging point. It felt a little awkward talking in there, but the room has a list of uses and talking is explicitly listed. It is also a gorgeous space that is highly conducive to working.

I then met up with mom and dad in Camden market. I tried to meet them at the Iris Gallery, but apparently there are two in Camden market, and I went to the wrong one. I found them and got a close up picture of my left eye, which turned out really well. I looks green on the top, blue on the bottom, and with a splash of a rusty brown. We had lunch next to the canal and then I took them to the interesting parts of the market. We took a rest in a pub nearby, and then got the tube back to their hotel, where we had tea. I went home for a bit before meeting them at Decimo for dinner. The view from the restaurant is amazing, and we got a corner table which really gave the best views. The elevator ride is also a great view of St. Pancras.

Wednesday and Thursday were all work, but Friday I had a breakfast with other StartX associated people in London. It was great to meet up with them and chat about what they are doing and how they are seeing the future. I look forward to having another meetup like that.

Saturday I went to Bridge Command again. This was an interesting mission with an inexperienced captain and crew. The captain wasn’t very decisive, but we were able to complete the mission. Zaheer went with me, but I don’t think it was a good introduction to immersive theatre.

on Sunday Ready Singer One performed at the Japan Matsuri festival in Trafalgar Square. It was a ton of fun, and there were easily a thousand people there. Not all of them were paying attention to us, but a few hundred were. We went for drinks and food after, and I got to have great conversations with some of the choir members I hadn’t talked to before.

In the evening we had Sean over. He is a neighbour from Ice Wharf and we played Overcooked and Unrailed together. He did really well, and even beat the final level of Overcooked on his first time playing the game. I look forward to doing some pub quizzes with him and other Ice Wharf people.
