For a treat, you can’t beat a cinamon bun and Pucko chocolate milk in Scandi Kitchen.
And it was a lovely autumn day for a walk in Regents Park after.

Day-to-Day
Chair desires
After brunch today, we went browsing a bit for inspiration for furniture for the new flat.
I have always liked the S 32 dining chair by Marcel Breuer, but sadly they are a bit too pricey 😿
It would be very easy to get carried away and spend all my money on furniture!

It seems things are finally starting to move on the new flat. I’m so looking forward to betting out of the limbo of the last several months! 😊

Today is feeling like autumn proper and I honestly couldn’t be happier 🍂🌧️☂️🥰
(but give me a week of this and I will probably change my mind! 😛)
Sunday reflections
After this post, I might have exhausted the mirror selfie blog post concept for a while 🤣

Dungarees are cool and all, until you get hot and have to undress in the street to take off your hoodie 😬

Against all odds, I survived my No Sweets September. Quite looking forward to my Saturday candy this weekend! 🍬😋

It’s been a crazy busy week at work so far, with an upcoming product launch.
Hopefully, a normal service will resume soon 🤞
Saturday photo dump
A nice autumn day in photos:
- Tried Beringer’s, City Island for brunch. Nice food and very convenient, since it’s close to home.
- We’re hopefully getting close now to exchanging the contract on the new flat now, so we went looking for a new kitchen.
- We were planning to go to Epping Forest, but there was no Central Line, so we ended up in Greenwich instead
- I learned that the Prime Meridian by the observatory hasn’t been the actual prime meridian since 1974. The real one is 102 metres from there!
- From Greenwich, we walked south across the heath to get to Blackheath, where we took the bus back home.

Don’t worry, this is not a fashion blog (as you most certainly can tell! 👺) and normal programming will resume, but I had a couple of people tell me today: “I’m so used to you wearing all black that I was thinking, ‘Who’s that?’ when you walked past”.
It seems my goal not to always wear all black has been successful, and about time, too!

Brand new dark-blue jeans and pristine new trainers are a truly awful combo 😬
Thank God for the good old masking-tape-inside-the-leg-opening trick to prevent colour transfer!

Photo evidence of me not wearing all black anymore 😆

Today’s main task was to go shopping for Carhartt dungarees. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size — just one size up and one size down — so I ended up placing an online order when I got back home instead.
I can’t deny I’m super excited to get a good pair of dungarees again soon! 😊
Lunch at Poon’s at Somerset House
Yesterday, we ended up leaving home too late to be in the mood for our usual Saturday brunch routine. Instead, we decided to do lunch at Poon’s, a Hong Kong restaurant in Somerset House.
We chose the 3-course set menu, which changes daily, and were served chicken soup, char siu pork, mushroom salad, and vegetables. It was all very nice, and the quality felt very high. It was also nice to sit at the counter and watch the chefs at work.
We will definitely come back for more.

On an evening like this, the view while waiting for the DLR at Shadwell is not too bad.
