The Top Floor Flat

Well, I have been woefully bad about updating my blog, although thanks to Twitter I’ve managed to sneek in a few updates over the last few days.  Here are some of the highlights.

Last Saturday I went to the Winter Wonderland festival in Hyde Park.  I wasn’t sure what to expect although it was supposed to include ice skating, carnival rides and a German Christmas market.  It was definitely heavy on the rides and light on the Christmas market, and I certainly wasn’t going to pay 10 quid for an hour of skating on a rink the size of my flat’s living room but it was such amazingly nice weather and the whole thing felt so Christmas-y that I couldn’t help but enjoy it.  If I had been under the age of 14 at that fair, it would clearly have been absolute heaven.  Even as it was, I had a great time walking around.

On Sunday, I meet up with a group called London Ice Skaters that do social ice skating around the city.  I had had no idea that there was an amazing indoor ice rink quite near to my flat and it was so much fun to be on skates again! At least I didn’t have any horribly embarassing falls although I couldn’t do anything much fancier than go around in a circle.

Monday was back to the office and the start of an immensely crazy work week which I can’t decide if I can’t believe it’s already mostly over or if I’m amazed it’s gone so slowly.  In any case, I’ve had a number of late nights and busy days.

Tuesday evening, I went to another meetup group, this one I organised, for Digital Media Experts in London.  It was fantastic to meet some other people in the city who have an interest in and understanding of digital media tools and social media.  I’m looking forward to getting to know more people in the group.

And, tomorrow is Thanksgiving so I’ve made a pumpkin pie to bring into the office to celebrate my American background. And eat pie.  It’s so convenient that those two things complement each other so well.  Hurray for heritage. And pie.
