In the Meantime

So I was in Prague. At a wedding! Very cool. I also did all the regular Prague things: drinking beer in Mlynarna (Vinohradska 11*), coffee at xyz espresso bar and a burger in Bistro. I missed out on Baguette Boulevard, because:

a) I was with my parents who prefer more bougie settings and when led to BB my mum exclaimed with disgust "ew... it's some kind of fast food"

b) After spending there 4 hours straight with N. and for her group project in applied macro, I am okay with missing out on that one time.

I did not miss out on drunkenly walking past the Metronom and reminiscing about J.'s quickly-connecting-the-dots moment all those years ago. For those who were there too a reminder - it was 4 years ago.

Anyway. Monday wasn't easy and neither was Tuesday. I gladly left Vienna for London to do everything in my power to avoid the coronation crowd and the more centrally located parts of the capital together. I made beef for N. (she preferred her steak) and met with B. for brunch and a walk. Also: I confused Phoebe Waller-Bridge with Phoebe Bridgers...

J is visiting this weekend... finally! So I will have an update about our ideological differences. Am I a bigger German-hater, despite living there shorter than he did? Maybe. Probably. For sure!

Work: This week was tough. I had to write an op-ed, with at least 5 people wanting to ‘help‘ me it ended up being a farse, especially in its Polish version. Olala! Thankfully my beef with M. came to an end - no more shouting matches! Also, our methane file got voted through the Parliament - time for trilogues! (PS. I love EU regulation)
