Any family-friendly tourist recommendations for a London visit?

Just set a one-year auto-responder on my company mail address.
With a smile.

Cleaned up my desk and drawer, answered all mail, excused myself for the mess I leave. Still 2h to go idling until I can go home.

Got a new Syrian colleague who knows wonderful Hummus and Eggplant recipes. (And brought homemade samples)
For me, the food alone would already be enough of an argument for a multi-cultural society.

Last day of work before 12 months of parental leave. Yeah!

Just failed to find an active mastodon user who toots in #swedish/#sverige, just to check how much I understand and how #duolingo actually helps learning or not.
Do all Swedes toot in English or was my search not good enough?

Stepped down as board member of our local hackerspace due to time conflicts with my family duties.
Best of luck to the new board.

I've just pre-filled my time sheets at work until end of the year. Feels good. #paretalleave

ao https://mastodon.social/media/Rdpf7YUulab54G4tON Oh, it has been so long.

Trying to find some #duolingo users that learn #swedish to add to the app. Basically I just want to explore the community features of the app, but maybe also for a motivation boost?

Back to work for one week until paternal leave starts. I already got an internet-overdose on the first day.

Note to self: barely enough sunscreen is not enough sunscreen.
Ouch.

I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Wonder Woman movie. Yeah, both the character and the portrayal by the actress are very likable, but the plot suffers from the DC-problem of having an overpowered hero that sees no challenge for 3/4 of the movie, then introducing a matched antagonist out of the blue in the last minutes and have them figthing ridiculously with powers where humankind is just collateral damage.
Hard to get suspense and involvement from me that way.

Was on a short flight with son#1 around the city. Was fun. I think. https://mastodon.social/media/r8eJrvYR82Mk9aleB60

Doing https://mastodon.social/media/9mdML1DumzAzxYhVSnk some non-advised sports today

Just watched an episode of Falling Skies and noticed they are using CG extras for scenes with just a moderate crowd (approx. 30ppl).
Are extras so expensive? Was this a late decission by the director during editing?
Haven't seen smth like this in TV series before.

Cold, intense wind and warm, cozy sunshine. Feels a bit like beginning of a wonderful day on the Scottish or Icelandic coast.
Brings back nice memories.

On this note: Going to bed now. Probably will hit the pillow just minutes before son#2 demands attention again, but you have to give in at some point.
