Tuesday Qyping

You may have just caught in my last post that after a morning hulking heavy bags I was mad enough to go straight out for a run. Well it did turn out to be mad… next day I woke up in pain in the area of a muscle tear I got 18 months or so ago, so I’ve been on the sick list again as far as running goes. I think it’s healed now though.

Been keeping busy though… besides my tax return (yep, really should have done it sooner, and currently wrestling with the mysteries of ‘basis periods’), I went out with a group of runners to dinner at Sartaj and a drink at The Crown. Good fun was had by all, especially with some frosted windows at The Crown (read the review…) I’ve also been down to the London office for Qype to meet one of the staff there, with reference to my role as ‘City Guardian’. I got to see some of the upgrades that are coming on site (some improvements to search facilities), and to hear about some upcoming promotions. Let’s just say the current wine and cinema tickets are not the end of things!

I also picked up some of the newly printed Qype stickers. The first of these had already gone up at a cafĂ© used by Qype staff, but I’m pleased to say that as far as I know I got the honour of doing numbers 2 and 3. At The Crown and International Magic. I didn’t get to tell them at the Crown that it was my first, as I only talked to the manager on the phone upstairs as they were getting ready to go out to the cinema. Hopefully getting stickers in places in future will be more straightforward! I’ve got to admit to being lazy and trying only a few places on my first day. I’ll get serious with it back on home ground!

It’s a shame it’s still getting dark early as I got some stunning pictures down in Westminster, my favourite being this one of Westminster Abbey. Great sky.


It went dark though as I headed on foot back to Hackney. I did manage to take some by flash of graffiti near Old Street.


Plan for Wednesday (looks at time… that’s today… should be in bed!) is to run, take some more pictures, get some stickers out, and work on that tax return! Wish me luck…
