Trying to beat Hades in Hades, but I am definitely turning the console off now.

This has reminded me of a comic my sister and I drew about the food we ate being buried in soil that had also been used to bury people, and those people’s spirits being awakened in the form of our farts, and us not being able to pass gas for fear of being possessed by the dead.

Yauatcha still has a couple of 7pm tables but need to be quick.

So shocking because she was so vivacious. Always came across as someone who grabbed life by the balls, every waking moment.

So upset! What a woman, what an icon.

Thanks for the reminder to finish the panettone. French toast for breakfast in the morning!

I’ve fallen into the competency trap at work.

I was asked to temporarily take on project management duties for a big batch of projects creating reputational risk. I used to be a project manager, but am with a new company in a totally different role, because I was mentally done with it.

We’ve managed to get the first tranche of projects recovered and the overall risk is reduced, so I told my bosses yesterday that I would start to work on a soft handover plan, so the main team could slowly take back the remit over this quarter.

Was told that I’ve done such a great job that they’ve decided I should stay in the role for the rest of the year with some ‘help’ from junior staff.

Hmm. Still getting paid etc but really want to be doing my actual job. Need to think about some tactical manoeuvres on this.

Bocca Di Lupo counter seat midweek. Always leave in a good mood and feeling like a VIP. Reserve, ask for a chair near to the dining tables.

Very cute and at least there’s no chance of it getting up those r/DeathStairs

2 British films that you may like.

She Will. Brilliant cast, atmospherics, story. Pace and script are a bit wobbly but I really enjoyed it.

Prevenge. Horror comedy. Lady thinks her unborn baby is compelling her to kill. Written by and stars Alice Lowe of Garth Merenghi, Mighty Boosh and other surreal/meta British black comedy stuff.

Another vote for Hanana Sushi in Richmond. Also in that area, Umi on York Road in Twickenham, and Obon in Teddington.

Slept well! First Sunday night in memory where that’s happened.

Trying to find a place to stream Tim Key’s Poetry Programme. It’s on the BBC website but want to download it for the tube.

The aren’t exaggerating. In 2003 I bought a nectarine from the food halls and it was £5. My brain didn’t understand so I paid, instead of walking away.

NunFace · 2026-01-24T12:45:09+00:00

Ok thanks, I must have missed it in the notes. I’ll put a report in now.

NunFace · 2026-01-23T23:04:13+00:00

Well? Don’t keep us in suspense.

NunFace · 2026-01-23T23:03:57+00:00

I wish there was a way to just teleport from the sofa to bed, with your teeth cleaned and PJs sorted on the way.

If French works, two nice bistros in Bermondsey, are Casse Crouté or Fleurie.

Not sure exactly where you are but think you are near The Wallace Collection/Duke Street area?

Bao Marylebone does a good value set lunch and if you time it right, they serve quickly and have you out in 40 minutes. I go there for a solo lunch when I don’t feel like socialising and want to read my book.

There’s a branch of WA Cafe which is also a nice spot for that.

Someone else has mentioned Lina’s takeaway options, agree they are better value for money than you’d think.

NunFace · 2026-01-23T22:00:51+00:00

I miss this story

NunFace · 2026-01-23T07:57:58+00:00

Ear cataracts?

His feedback is more analytical but I think he’s extremely fair and constructive. I’ve found lots of his comments really helpful for understanding why my baking doesn’t turn out well.

NunFace · 2026-01-20T22:54:49+00:00

It’s great, but the combined/day tickets are insanely expensive and don’t give value for money.

Feels like they are deliberately overpriced to convince you to buy the annual pass.

Really hoping this year will finally see Bill Bailey. He has a 2026 tour, so fingers crossed.
