Weeknote 143

Presenting at work and Autumn hikes

• Tuesday, I led a presentation on my team’s latest work to make our website more accessible. More than 100 people joined online, and the response was overwhelmingly encouraging. I surprised myself with how confidently I was able to organise and present it.
• Saturday, I headed to super posh Hampstead for a facial treatment aimed at cleansing my skin and easing my rosacea
• Joined Mena and her friends in a very sunny Notting Hill street market afterward. I enjoyed a quick Venezuelan cachapa before taking a walk through Hyde Park, which looked stunning with its blanket of autumn leaves.
• Sunday adventure: a solo trip to Amersham and Chesham for some countryside walking away from the crowds. Even under overcast skies, the autumn leaves were gorgeous, and all within the London Transport Oyster fare zones.
