Last thursday I had a lunch date with an architect friend of a friend. Go me! Doesn't it sound all serious and grown up meeting people for lunch dates? Especially people you have only met once before.
The lunch date went great. I have missed talking to fellow architects so much! And he proved to be a very cool and nice guy. He bought me lunch and told me to stop stressing so about having the perfect cv and not knowing enough to find work here. Did I mention it wasn't a romantic date, it was a work date? Yup, I harangued the poor guy to meet me to give me some advice and pointers.
And he's a Dane. The first actual Scandinavian I have properly met (I did sort of meet a weird Swede in 2001 but I don't count him). Are all Danes so warm laid back? All I know about Scandinavians I learnt from the cinema and this awesome webcomic.
Friday was a nice sunny day and my sister guilted me into taking her to the countryside. We went to Lee Valley and Waltham Abbey. It was a lovely huge walk over a network of paths through the countryside. There were streams and canals - complete with barges and boats - and lakes and lots of greenery. There were places to spot otters, watch for birds and chase dragon flies.
Because I am a disorganised idiot I took my camera but forgot both to charge the battery and to bring my spare battery. So I didn't take any photos. I feel so stupid! But I will trawl the net to steal other peoples photos instead...
