A white Christmas? Nearly!
What a great holiday I have had! Two weeks away from work and I’d be lying if it wasn’t a bit of a struggle to get up this morning!
As I looked out my window this morning I see we narrowly missed out on snow at Christmas! A very quick look on Google tells me that [...]
ice ice baby
We went ice skating yesterday at Canary Wharf, and WOW what fun! I had a great time, so good in fact I think I will make an effort seek out an ice rink near me. At some point I might fulfil my childhood fantasy of having the lovely white lace-up boots like the professionals.
Thanks Andrew [...]
Rinky-dink-dink
The Seventeen team outing is looming – we’re off to the Canary Wharf ice rink tonight to trip the light fantastic and fall flat on our backsides. Hopefully our injuries will not prevent us enjoying a few glasses of mulled wine in the Moose Bar afterwards.
We will be in the office until Tuesday getting [...]
Happy memories
I was up in Sheffield this weekend, my University town and home for four years. I had an amazing time whilst I lived there and was excited to be returning for the first time since I moved back down south in April. I was surprised at how many of my friends were still there, doing [...]

As this will be my first Christmas is London I feel I may be disappointed that it will not be the fairy tale that I have come to expect from annual viewing of such films as Bridget Jones, Love Actually and of course A (Muppet) Christmas Carol!
Out here at Trinity Buoy Wharf we shall be [...]
Friezeing
Went to the opening of the Frieze Art Fair last night in Regent’s Park – all slightly bewildering. I like challenging, conceptual modern art as much as the next man – as long as the next man is Liam Gallagher. There were definitely some interesting bits and pieces though, particularly form the Lisson Gallery, and [...]

Unfortunately the office is not yet filled with chocolate treats, but we are getting to see all the interesting recipes that Observer readers have submitted. If you think you can beat porridge made with chicken stock (?), then enter now [...]
Read moreRecord breaking attempt, tomorrow at TBW!
Tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at Trinity Buoy Wharf Fearne Cotton and Ben Shepherd will be attempting to break the world record in human catapulting. That’s all I know about it, but it definitely sounds like fun! We’ll be watching as Fearne flies past our window.
Friday: Not sure if they broke the record, but Ben and Fearne [...]
The Den
So it’s farewell to another series of Dragon’s Den. Look out for the dragons’ follow up show in the coming weeks, it should hopefully feature Deborah Meaden at one of our events.
There were some great eco friendly businesses featured this series: the recycled box people, last night’s ProWaste guy who got investment from Deborah and [...]
Melting
Oh my, it is hot round Seventeen offices today. I am fantasising about ice lollies and looking forward to a chilled G&T this evening. So just in case writing about it helps make me feel any cooler, I thought I’d share a recipe for some ice cream I made this weekend. It is not only [...]
