It's quite scary seeing the Parks in London literally all yellow due to no rain the past few weeks...
Anyone looking for something cool to do in London on the weekend, I would recommend 'Frameless' in Marble Arch - lots of immersive, and sometimes interactive, exhibitions and with lots of cool stuff. Ideal for date night or those with kids!
At the Blues Kitchen in Camden listening to some live blues music - When I grow up I want be a guitar player! 🎸
I don't know a single person who does, or ever will, talk to their glasses the way they're portrayed in these Meta glasses Ads 😂
Flicking between Wimbledon, Goodwood, but mostly stuck on a cracking Race in the World Endurance Championship, my favourite sportscar series, I'm grimacing every time they show the on-boards with different classes of cars overtaking left, right and centre 😂 Fun to watch #WEC #6HSaoPaulo
At the Ealing Beer Festival last night, and so much fun. I go every year and it's always fun to try the different varieties of drinks, chat to the brewers with a chilled atmosphere. Even found a cider with my name on it! 😂 Highly recommend for anyone in West London today @camraofficial.bsky.social
Thought-provoking billboard Ad I've seen from AXA on the way home
Keir Starmer announces his resignation all over the News this morning - meaning 7 different UK Prime Ministers over the past 10 years
Finally completed 007 First Light this evening, a solid ~12+ hour game that plays like a real proper Bond thriller with really high production values. Patrick Gibson plays a young Bond so well he should be in the running for the role in the movies! Fully enjoyed it #FirstLight @007game.ioi.dk
Played 007 First Light for a few hours today & having a blast, it's outstanding- A gritty James Bond-worthy story, great storytelling, cast & lots of gameplay variety with some clever mechanics. Lots of nods to the films in the series too. Feels like a true AAA title 🎮 #007FirstLight @007game.ioi.dk
Everyone has been watching the Football today, but I've been looking forward to the #Indy500, probably the best Motorsport event of the year. Indianapolis Motor Speedway looks incredible every year and on my bucket list to go #SkyIndycar
Yesterday I was at the Design Museum - one of my favourite places that I really recommend - along with a lot of Creative and Tech history pieces there is a Wes Anderson Archives exhibition which was really cool with stills/storyboards/set designs from his films' eras including Grand Budapest Hotel
No #DogsAtPollingStations for me earlier this morning (that was a cool trend on Twitter a while back!), but made sure I did my bit and voted in the UK Local Elections, always remarkable how efficient and swift it is to do ✅ #Voted
With the London Tube Strikes meaning a bit more walking this morning (and dodging a sea of cyclists) but a good day to get some nice views of the City 🏙️ #TubeStrike
10 Years at my company today (got a nice shiny award for it) but made me feel very reflective over the past decade, definitely felt like a more simpler time!
Treated myself to a bowl of Donburi and Miso Soup from one of my favourite restaurants (Koya, in Soho) after completing a few errands this morning. Really sorts out a hangover too. 😂 #FoodSky
Had a challenging few days recently but with the sunshine out today I had to take advantage and get a good run out and feel all the better for it. Lots of Boats out on the river in SW London today too 🚣♂️🏃♂️ #RunSky
🎮 Completed Resident Evil Requiem this evening & absolutely loved it. Really fun, absorbing, high-quality & challenging with wide variety of gameplay & tons of fan service too. Capcom's RE Engine is one the best engines & looks fantastic. Looking forward to replaying this again! #RE9 #ResidentEvil
My LinkedIn feed nowadays is just all about AI - both from sponsored posts, others, or from LinkedIn itself *sigh*
Evernote is one of my most-used Apps but getting told it's increasing by £6 per month, and now stuffed with AI features I never asked for, is really making me reconsider now. Any other similar Apps that similar/simpler that work cross-device ...?
A bit of a sore head today after a few good Guinness' at The Devonshire in Soho. Definitely one of the best in London. Nice beermat to add to my collection too!
