This week has consisted of working, exercising, playing games, and meeting friends. My commute to work has been nicer than usual due to infrequent (yet greatly appreciated) doses of sunshine. Its fascinating how quickly sunshine can brighten my mood. And its really nice to see the usually grey skyline of London looking bright and cheerful. … More Destiny, Gym & The City
Yesterday I had a little trip to Five Guys, a popular burger chain from America. They’re pretty new here in the UK (to my knowledge) but I’ve tried them a couple of times to my delight.
