The Last Trip to the SwiftKey Office, Paddington, London - 23rd February 2022

It's the last couple of weeks working for Microsoft in Paddington, and there's a chance to actually visit the office for the first time in almost two years - and probably for the last time ever. There are actually enough people in the office to make up a group for a trip to Nando's in Bayswater, which Tehmur arranges as something of a send-off. There's then the cycle back to Liverpool Street Station for perhaps the last time, at least for this particular route.
