Fun with friends 💛

✨ Highlights

  • I went to Berlin for a weekend with my friend Mark. It was really fun to just mooch around, have nice food and hang out with him.
  • I went to see Ezra Collective with my friends Nisha and Rachael. It was SO GOOD and we danced so much 💃
  • I went to see A Raisin in the Sun with my friend Rachel. It was a really emotional play, I really enjoyed it.
  • I went on a hidden London tour with some of my work friends, to the unused tube station The Strand. It was very, very cool, I’d recommend it.
  • My friend Hayden came to visit and we went to Sheffield to unpack his house that he sold 📦
  • The survey on the house that I’m buying came up with some damp problems 👎
  • But I went to view a different house on a road that I really like and I’ve put an offer on it 🎉

Collage of pictures from November 2024: A selfie of me wearing sunglasses, standing in front of the view over Berlin; the Weltballon Berlin — a large hot air balloon printed with a world map — floating above the city on a clear blue day; A picture of the Alexander Platz train station in the evening, you can see some of the sunset behind the sign with the name of the station and the Berlin TV tower; a stack of really fluffy pancakes with some cream dolloped up top and some blueberries on the side; a neon outline of a face installed on the side of two big buildings in Berlin; a neon sign that says Palast from the Buchstabenmuseum in Berlin; looking up the curved tunnel of the London Underground Strand station, with a 'Dig for Victory' wartime poster visible on the wall; the ornate red-brick facade of Strand Station; my friend Dougie and Juno squished into the passenger seat of my car while we move some furniture; Hayden, Charlie and I sat outside Tamper Coffee in Sheffield, trying to keep warm and dry while we had a delicious breakfast; Jaz, Hayden's dog - a Chihuahua Staffy mix - curled in a yellow blanket on my sofa, looking directly at the camera; Juno sat on the snow covered park outside our house, looking happy; our women in tech event, the speaker is standing in front of the audience, who are sat on bleacher style seating watching; Juno peacefully asleep with his head on top of my legs, while I'm stretched out on the sofa; a selfie of Nisha and I at the Ezra Collective concert, we're bathed in blue light and smiling.
