In social news<\/strong>, i went to see Ovo<\/a> at Royal Albert Hall which was great and looking to see some Pina<\/a> soon. I’m looking at going to Malta to see the Victor Pasmore gallery<\/a> so starting some planning. The next London internet of things meetup<\/a> is in a couple of weeks and I’m excited about having a host for the first time since July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
