Qualcomm's Christmas Party and The End of Taptu, Cambridge - 16th December 2010

It's Isobel's Qualcomm work's do at the Doubletree Hilton hotel near the Mill Pond in Cambridge, and a chance for Nosher to once more meet up with some friends and former colleagues. It's not without irony as the following day is Nosher's last day at Taptu: four years after leaving Qualcomm to join the start-up, it's all over as many of the staff are made redundant in a process of "downsizing". Following the finalities, Nosher's let off early and so goes in to town to do some Christmas shopping in the rain, before returning to the Science Park later to pick up Isobel and The Boy.
