My brothers and I had all booked Friday off. We\u2019d planned a surprise day in London for my mum to <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2024\/09\/04\/11148\/\">belatedly<\/a> celebrate her 70th birthday. Last year <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2023\/10\/29\/weeknotes-243-berlin\/\" title=\"Andrew Doran: Weeknotes #243 \u2014 Berlin\">we took my dad away to Berlin<\/a> to celebrate <em>his<\/em> 70th, so we wanted to try and do something special with mum for hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had such a lovely day. All my parents knew was that they had to meet us at Tottenham Court Road tube station at half past one in the afternoon. After a quick drink in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beerintheevening.com\/pubs\/s\/63\/6375\/Cambridge\/Soho\" title=\"Beer In The Evening: The Cambridge, Soho - pub details\">a pub at Cambridge Circus<\/a>, we wandered down to <a href=\"https:\/\/ivycollection.com\/restaurants\/the-ivy-west-street\/\" title=\"The Ivy West Street\">The Ivy<\/a> in West Street for lunch. Our table wasn\u2019t quite ready so they invited us to sit at the bar, which just added to the fun. As we sat there, I turned around and did a double-take as I came face to face with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rorystewart.co.uk\" title=\"Rory Stewart\">Rory Stewart<\/a>, who was meeting his wife Shoshana for lunch. The atmosphere, food and service were all exceptional and we left with a lovely warm glow.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Lunch at The Ivy\" class=\"wp-image-11413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-2-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lunch at The Ivy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Next stop was <a href=\"https:\/\/archerstreet.co.uk\" title=\"Archer Street\">Archer Street<\/a> in Soho, a beautiful cosy bar where the staff dazzle everyone as they burst into song every few minutes. We had a lovely couple of hours relaxing, laughing and enjoying the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then wandered to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adelphi_Theatre\" title=\"Adelphi Theatre\">Adelphi Theatre<\/a> on the Strand to see <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backtothefuturemusical.com\/london\/\" title=\"Back To The Future: The Musical\">Back To The Future: The Musical<\/a><\/em>. The production is <strong>a lot<\/strong>, with non-stop action all the way. The special effects were breathtaking, particularly at the climax of the story. I couldn\u2019t understand why people around me were laughing so hard at some of the jokes that were lifted from the film. And then I realised that the movie is 39 years old, so it\u2019s quite possible that for some people this might have been their first ever exposure to the storyline. I don\u2019t think anyone is going to be buying the original soundtrack album from the production \u2014 it was no <em>Hamilton<\/em> \u2014 but it was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone went home feeling like they\u2019d had a thoroughly great day out. It was so lovely to make some more memories together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a week in which I:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Did a comprehensive review of our real estate\/facilities financial forecast now that we have a better idea of the timing of future work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepped for and ran the programme Steering Committee meeting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caught up with our audio\/visual vendor on the latest design of the shared meeting space in our building. Reviewed the design with our CIO and COO ahead of a broader review with our sister company next week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Started to look again at the software developer vacancy in my team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worked late in the office as new signage was installed, an illuminated company logo at one of our entrances. It was fascinating to watch it being put in with such skill. Connecting the illuminated letters to a transformer involved using fishing rod-like sticks to grab hold of the cables from inside the wall cavity. The whole job probably took six hours, spread over a couple of evenings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Had to remind myself that \u201cfeedback is a gift\u201d when someone grabbed me and reeled off a list of things that aren\u2019t working for them in our refurbished office. You have to look past how it feels and listen to what\u2019s being said.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Had our regular operational meeting with our Non-Financial Risk team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Met up with our Group Head of Enterprise Architecture and our functional Enterprise Architect when they visited us in London. Talking to them made me realise that I feel as though technology has taken a back seat in my professional life this year, with my focus on our real estate projects. I\u2019m looking forward to getting geeky again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Had a final meeting with the key vendors from the work we did to <a title=\"Andrew Doran: Weeknotes #292\u2013293 \u2014 Open office \" href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2024\/10\/07\/weeknotes-292293-open-office\/\">build out a brand new office earlier in the year<\/a>. The entire purpose of the meeting was to say thank you, and to reflect on what we\u2019d achieved together. Sometimes you have to stop and look around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoyed our weekly <em>Learning Hour<\/em> session where a colleague presented about company culture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joined the first part of a webinar on <em><a title=\"O\u2019Reilly: AI for Everyone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oreilly.com\/webcasts\/ld\/4661320-ai-for-everyone.html\">AI for Everyone<\/a><\/em>, run by O\u2019Reilly Media. The presentations were short and snappy but I didn\u2019t feel like I got too much out of them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Took part in the latest <em><a title=\"Teams Fireside Chat\" href=\"https:\/\/teamsfireside.chat\">Teams Fireside Chat<\/a><\/em> where the topic of the month was <a title=\"Microsoft Places\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-places\">Microsoft Places<\/a>. There\u2019s a lot going on in this space and \u2014 of course \u2014 some licencing to get our heads around. I\u2019ve signed up to the new monthly <em><a title=\"Empowering.Cloud: Events: Copilot Fireside Chat - November\" href=\"https:\/\/events.empowering.cloud\/event-details-cfc\/copilot-fireside-chat-november\/r\/recK6C1x5Sgtk7509\">Copilot Fireside Chat<\/a><\/em> and expect it to be just as engaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helped out the neighbours with a couple of problems with their house while they were on holiday. Carbon monoxide monitors are LOUD. They sent us a lovely little hamper of goodies as a thank you, which was completely unnecessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Had a physio appointment to find out what\u2019s going on with the calf that I injured when I ran a half marathon <a title=\"Andrew Doran: Weeknotes #294 \u2014 Half marathon\" href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2024\/10\/14\/weeknotes-294-half-marathon\/\">back in October<\/a>. Apparently the problem is likely to be \u201ca grade 2 strain of [my] medial gastrocnemius\u201d. I\u2019ve got some exercises to do, but it\u2019s likely going to be some months before I\u2019m back running again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bought a ticket to see <a title=\"Gang of Four 77-81\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gangoffour7781.com\">Gang of Four on their farewell tour<\/a> next year. <a title=\"Andrew Doran: Weeknotes #241 \u2014 Gang of Four\" href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2023\/10\/09\/weeknotes-241-gang-of-four\/\">Their gig in 2023<\/a> was one of my unexpected musical highlights of the year, so I can\u2019t wait for this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attended the Annual General Meeting of our cycling club. It was the first one that I\u2019ve made in the two and a bit years that I\u2019ve been a member. I love being part of the club. It was great to look back on the events of the year and say thank you to the people that make it all run so smoothly. Unfortunately for the new ride coordinators, they had to cancel Saturday\u2019s ride due to the predicted cold and stormy conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spent the weekend in a tired stupor as one of our blinds broke. Although the sun doesn\u2019t rise particularly early this time of year it was still a bit disturbing, alongside <a title=\"Wikipedia: 2024\u201325 European windstorm season \u2014 Storm Bert (Sigrid)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2024%E2%80%9325_European_windstorm_season#Storm_Bert_(Sigrid)\">storm Bert<\/a> rattling our tiles and spraying water at the window.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Podcasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enjoyed <a title=\"Daring Fireball: The Talk Show: \u2018HOLIDAY PARTY 2024\u2019, WITH MERLIN MANN\" href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/thetalkshow\/2024\/11\/09\/ep-413\">John Gruber and Merlin Mann\u2019s \u2018holiday party\u2019 (post-USA election) episode of <em>The Talk Show<\/em><\/a>. Merlin\u2019s advice of asking whether someone needs to be \u201chelped, hugged or heard\u201d is great. They also talked about how the old people we see around us today are not the same old people that we saw around us decades ago, even though it feels like they are. I often think about this when I see someone who is in the autumn of their years, wondering what they might have looked like 20 years ago, which to me feels like it was just yesterday. On that note, it was a shock to hear about <a title=\"Wikipedia: John Prescott\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Prescott\">John Prescott<\/a>\u2019s passing this week.
