Local eats and family

  • Sadly I hadn't the time or energy to visit Beyond Tellerrand and IndieWebCamp taking place in Dusseldorf this year. From what I ready on my Mastodon feed it looked like yet another great event, so looking forward to when the video recordings come out.
  • Back at work I finally saw the launch of one of my proudest pieces of work to date, the dxw Accessibility Manual.
  • Midweek after work I decided to take a stroll over to nearby Broadway Market Tooting for dinner and pleasantly surprised by the choice on offer. I settled on a Kiaan's Pan Asian Street Food after persuasion by the owner to come in try their 50% off all food offer. I had the dumplings for starter and bao buns for main. Both were delicious and tempted to take Ximena and friends there again sometime.
  • Family came to visit over the weekend, so I thought we'd head somewhere we'd not been to before. I settled on Kenwood House surrounded by the lush green of Hampstead Heath.

  • After a long walk over Hampstead Heath and a short ride on the Overground, we discovered another favourite Neapolitan pizza spot, this time in Kensal at Sacro Cuore. The drinks menu was also good and reasonably priced, with the inclusion of South East London's Kernel ale – a personal favourite.

  • On Sunday I headed to Box Hill in Surrey with my friend Luis again for 25 mile ride. We tackled a sharp climb up to the Surrey Hills with a gradient of 18% which really tested me mentally as well as physically! It's likely my last ride on the Canyon Endurance bike which I bought back in 2016. I'm selling it next week to make way for a Canyon Aeroad.
