How was your week? Mine’s been quite alright. Last weekend was tons of fun. Jorge and I had a little staycation at The Zetter Townhouse (post coming on Monday) here in London, only east… It’s a quirky place with an amazing little cocktail lounge. We explored the local area and finally ate at the new branch of Iberica in Farringdon, our favourite Spanish restaurant in London (post soon). Sunday was spent editing photos and blogging.
This week has been a breath of fresh air after a chaotic conference at work the previous one. I even had a day of working from home when I got about twice my normal amount of work done in one day. I’m so much more productive when I work from home. Go figure.
I’m looking forward to this weekend for some honeymoon planning (ie – airbnb and hotel decision making and booking), and a photography treasure hunt around Shoreditch with Foto Ruta and my buddy Stu from the brilliant Inspiring City blog (which I’d highly recommend following). It’s also a bank holiday on Monday which makes me extremely happy!
Any fun plans for you?

August 25, 2014 at 11:05 pmI’ve always wondered what the difference was with refrigerating/not refrigerating eggs! Holy cow! Mustafa Seven’s photographs are amazing! Thanks for the link. 🙂 I had a wonderful weekend with one of my girlfriends who was visiting. Now I need a weekend to recover from her visit.

August 26, 2014 at 8:24 pmI know, wasn’t that egg article insightful? I’ve never known until now either! Hope you had a good time with your friend. I know what you mean about needing to recover after visitors, but it’s worth it for the good ones! x
