If music be the food of love, I'd rather have a cupcake..



Well this week as our CEO jetted off for a hard earned trip to Ibiza, it wasn’t just Sanchita basking in the sun. Out came the sunglasses and in went the brollies as we all relaxed in the heat and London saw the return of the summer...for a day.

With Sanchita away and Madeleine our London Community Manager currently enjoying the whole week off for her birthday, the office has been a little quieter than usual. Mad even snubbed our invite to come in for her CS birthday lunch and inevitable gift of the novelty screen wipe (surely we’ve got through the whole collection by now? - I can only hope for my birthday)

Owen's been feeling a little under the weather this week, not that he’s moaned about it, but instead just took to advertising it in the form of an oversized cardigan and tissues littered across his desk – we get the point. Despite the Man Flu he’s created a fantastic ‘Meet the team’ page over on Facebook so if you want to put some faces to the names check it out, you can also ‘like’ our page for the chance to win weekly prizes.

This week brought controversy over the music selection in the office, we’ve decided we’re sick of hearing the same ten songs on Radio One all day so after toying between Absolute and Capital it was Ipods at dawn and the first to draw established if it was going to be a day of Bowie or Britney (I stand by my choice!!!)

As we get closer to our second Monster Mingle, which this month is music themed and celebrates the end of the festival season, we wanted to find out which performance was the highlight of the UK festival scene for 2010. Have your say by taking our quick poll here http://bit.ly/bT2k18.

We were also lucky enough this week to be treated to some free cupcakes courtesy of Karis’ blagging skills and Lola’s cupcakes, we waited on tenterhooks for the delivery which we were told could arrive any time between 9-5. By 3pm we were getting impatient and hungry, but alas! 4.45 and not a minute earlier the buzzer went and to our delight 12 beautifully wrapped cupcakes were waiting at the door. They looked and tasted amazing but unfortunately didn’t last long and now all we’re left with are glitter coated desks and an extra 2lbs I’ll probably never shed.

Tonight a few of us are heading down to the Counter Culture launch night under London Bridge station. They promise to bring you 99 days of “The 
best 
in 
London 
arts; 
club
nights, 
live
 music, 
film, theatre 
and 
more” so we’ll let you know how it goes next week.

Finally, as the inevitable rainfall washes away our already fading memories of union jack shorts, loafers with no socks, topless builders, the overwhelming heat of the tube, and frizzy hair we’re off the pub to toast to the last of summer and reassure each other that maybe winter won’t be so bad after all …
