    A truly memorable week. A birthday dinner and film, catching up with far-flung friends, two team away days with quizzes, amazing food, a Gillian Anderson cameo, cocktails and karaoke, culminating with a Clearleft alumni picnic (which I mostly missed). My throat is sore but my heart is full.

    ♫ More Than This by Roxy MusicThinking back on yesterday and what was, football aside, a beautiful yet unexpected day. A reminder to embrace uncertainty in life and accept the wonderful things it can sometimes bestow. Maybe there’s nothing more than this.

    I couldn’t have predicted any aspect of today, and for that I’m weirdly grateful. Would have been nice to have seen England in a World Cup final, though.

    During tonight’s pub quiz we won a free drink, bottle of wine, Caesar salad and entry into a super league for penultimate pub quiz losers. Not bad for 2 hours of brainteasing.

    Well, that match was absolutely worth staying up until 4am for. Gripping game and an amazing performance from England. Phew!

    In London, a bit tipsy and accidentally on the wrong Underground line. It’s a vibe, and one that makes me wish I actually lived here.

    Ran 5km along the Thames, won the pub quiz then watched England “kick the ball in the square” two more times than Croatia. Pretty much the perfect evening.

    Continuing with this year’s theme, today I completed my first sprint triathlon, finishing with a time of 1:55:55 (and coming 155 of 157). My only goal was to complete the event, but got a PB in the pool and now have a baseline to improve upon.
