Paid a visit to our friend Paddington at the Station before boarding the GWR train to Swansea. (I think I’ve ridden more trains in the past year than I have in all the previous years of my life combined!)
Current mood: knitting, tea, and bickies in front of the fake fire on a grey and drizzly day in Swansea! 🔥🫖🧶🌧
Thanks for the smile, Lewis! ❤️ @transportforlondon
A walk through Kensington Gardens. Near as we can tell, that spot by the Serpentine was our first date, 21.5 years ago. (A picnic, no less!) ❤️
He went to a hipster barber for a haircut and beard trim. 😍
Today started with lunch with @ihuerga and @chocolate0703, then a walk past St. Paul’s and over Millennium Bridge to the Tate Modern for ART. Sadly, no bookings available for tea at the Ritz… 😭
Piccadilly Circus at midnight on Saturday night. 😍
Greasy fry-up – just the thing after a big* night out! 🍳☕️
*Well, big for us anyway…
Another reunion in London! ❤️
Wee Ben has not aged in 20 damn years. ❤️
Heading off on a very special trip! 🛫🇬🇧
The Leinster Arms. The dart board and jukebox are gone; there’s craft beer on tap and small plates on the menu. But we’re back in London where it all began… ❤️🇬🇧🍻
Saturday night in the West End with an old friend. ❤️
Lest you think I did nothing but work all weekend, I also caught up with @glory_madaya and Rinon for a killer steak dinner, ate a pizza in bed in the hotel, and hit the Läderach shop before my train home… #foodie🐄🍕🍫
A great start to #herHACK day two as @movewithdominique gets us all grooving and bouncing and stomping! 👯♀️🎶 #digitalswitzerland
At the @cognizant booth for #herHACK, you can get your face printed on a coffee!! Genius! So here’s ME WITH THE BÖÖGG. 😬⛄️☕️ #digitalswitzerland
I’m so inspired by everyone at #herHACK that I spent the morning trying to fix a pesky bug in a Javascript library I’m using. And not only did I find the error, I’ve created a pull request to incorporate my change into the package! 💃 🙌 #digitalswitzerland
We are in the final stretch for #herHACK, so @rob_holub and I are testing some of the prizes… 🦄💐👑 #digitalswitzerland
THANK YOU #herHACK! It was an amazing, inspirational weekend and I was proud to be a part of it. Well done to all the participants, organisers, volunteers, partners, and helpers. 🦄❤️👏 #digitalswitzerland
Stage selfie with my cohost @rob_holub at #herhack 2021! Look at all these amazing hackers, raring to go! 👏👏👏
With @rob_holub right before we kicked off this morning. It’s been a while since I’ve had the headset mic and red lippie on! 😍 #herhack
Zürich at dusk is very, very pretty. 🏔🌅
My first trip in nearly two years without the Snook beside me. 😳 #codependency
Final preparation for tomorrow’s #herhack2021! By this time tomorrow, there will be 250 women hackers powering away on solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems. How cool is that?? #digitalswitzerland #aws
(Also, I’ve never been to a hackathon in a warehouse before. There’s a giant disco ball and a SLIDE!!)
Apparently there is some big summer festival in Zurich where they build a giant snowman in the city and then BURN IT, wicker man style, and depending on when the head EXPLODES, it determines how good the summer will be. And he’s called the “Böögg,” and I found his head, and I’ll never sleep again. 😳🔥⛄️
It took me like 5 minutes to realise why the “chicken” in my club sandwich was so chewy. Note to self: actually read the ingredients rather than assuming! 😂 🦑 (It’s tasty anyway.)
Leveled up my cycling gear again this week with thermal tights and undershirt. It’s fine for now, but I think I’m gonna need another layer for my legs if it gets much colder. 🚴♀️🥶
Bean Soup – adapted from the El Bulli recipe – with homemade bread courtesy of the Snook! Just the thing on a cold Autumn night…
