    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… 😭

    I spent a semester in university abroad in London, and one of my classes was British History. For one of our lectures, our professor just had us watch this episode. Many of us had never seen Blackadder. I remember being pretty stunned at the ending… #RemembranceDay https://t.co/c8FkSQxMWg

    @jennapederson That’s an interesting idea! I just have the IKEA one – I wonder how I could hotwire and do it…

    @busbub @multi_shine I’m honestly surprised the Snook and I haven’t done that already just for our own amusement!


    @alnothur @_DiningCar Hörnli are very close, I mean, come on! And of course mince isn’t cheese. As the menu states, “Rindfleisch mit Röstzwiebeln, Apfelmus und Sbrinz”. Sbrinz = cheese.


    I’m really excited to finally get to attend AWS #reInvent in Las Vegas this year! I’ll be assisting with a lot of different @AWSonAir sessions, and I also helped out with a very special session in the https://t.co/MQukVxJZKI track…


    BOA302 Build an app to find your next favorite brew! @jennapederson and James Jory will walk you through a fun group project to build an app that provides personalised craft beer recommendations. Yes, really! 🍻

    @darkosubotica I’m not clicking Like on that, but I’m glad it wasn’t worse for you. ❤️


    We all know the Internet is a series of curly-wurly tubes, right? (As soon as I saw that slide at #herHACK, I knew I was going to have to go down it!) 😂 https://t.co/rA64yEmMAN


    @busbub @multi_shine I think of Ben Wyatt every time Spotify plays Letters to Cleo. 😂 A 90’s party at a roller rink would be my DREAM BIRTHDAY.


    Lunch aboard the SBB @_DiningCar for EC193 from Zürich to Munich. Rindsgehacktes und Hörnli – a sort of Swiss Mac & cheese with minced beef, roast onions, and applesauce. I was delighted I could pay with my Swiss francs; everywhere else is contactless! https://t.co/LYszhICnkh


    @lynnlangit @_DiningCar Yes. Feeling distinctly sleepy after that meal! 😴


    @alnothur @_DiningCar Uh, it has both macaroni and cheese?

    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🐄🍕🍫
