    @lynnlangit Oh good lord. @the_snook and I nearly broke up early in our relationship over a particularly contentious game of Monopoly, in which I sold a Glaswegian the red property he needed over the Snook’s impassioned cries of “BUT STATISTICALLY THAT’S THE MOST VALUABLE–“

    We’re not only here for the food! This morning we toured the Royal Palace in Madrid. 🏰


    After the palace, a walking tour through the centre of Madrid. We finished at the Prado Museum where we marvelled at Bosch, El Greco, Goya, Velázquez and more… 😍🖼🧑‍🎨 #sotired

    Time to eat our way through Madrid! First up is oxtail gnocchi with truffle for me, homemade pastrami sandwich for the Snook, and an amazing cheesecake with smoked and bleu cheese. 😍 https://t.co/OH8osvVrY8


    If you’re wondering if we followed that meal up with a siesta… we did.

    We had a private food tour tonight around the Malasaña neighbourhood of Madrid with Margit from @walkandeatspain, and it honestly felt like an evening catching up with an old friend. She took us to her favorite places for cheese, tapas, vermouth, beer, and wine, and it was all excellent. ❤️ (1/2)


    The last few photos from our tour with @walkandeatspain. Muchos gracias, Margit! ❤️ (2/2)

    @QuinnyPig @DuckbillGroup Maybe not for you. I’ve attended events and meetups aimed at tech leadership though that looked askance at anyone that didn’t have CTO on their CV, even if only at an obscure startup. Sadly, I think title matters more for those in underrepresented groups.
