28th December 2025 - The Sunday Summary

⛔️ New Years Resolutions suck,🪵 Calming wood and 📺 🎅🏻 Taxi trade presents

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful festive break! 🎅🏻 Welcome back to the Sunday summary!

🚖 My taxi tours are back!

Tom.Taxi/Tour
I released some dates earlier this year, did a few as a warm-up and loved it! It’s the kind of casual and fun afternoon I’ve been missing from the cab.
In short, New to London or old timer. We spent 4 hours driving around, with stops along the way. Seeing some classic London and uncovering hidden gems on the way.
Currently I’m running with Wednesdays only, and will open up more slots once these are booked!

📝 An annual tradition I’m doing

End of Year Review
New Years Resolutions suck. You’ve had all year to prove yourself, why would the change of year make anything any different.
Far more effective is an End of Year Review (I’m using the Modern Wisdom one, but any will do). That way you can trap what worked and didn’t work from the year, and make smaller iterative changes rather than expecting to work miracles on January 1st!

🛠️🚪 An unexpected calm purchase

Acoustic Wood Wall Panelling - Wood Veneer Hub
Not sponsored or affiliated link. Purchased these to bring some texture and warmth to the home office. Wow what a difference they make! So nice to finally eliminate some echo from the flat. The wood is lined on felt, which creates a very calming acoustic. I’ve only just cut them to size and not had the opportunity to mount them yet, but look how cool they are!
I went with the Contemporary Walnut (Oiled Finish).

📺 A YouTube video I’m watching

April and Phil Margera's Ultimate House Tour Ft. Bam, Raab, Rake and Frantz
A must watch for anyone who went in hard on Viva La Bam, great to hear Bam and family talk about how some of the epic episodes came about!

📺 On YouTube this week

Even though Christmas has been and gone, would highly recommend watching so you can see the scale of different individuals and organisations that make up some of the London taxi trade

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'd love to know what you're up to or what you might be working on!

Have a great week!

Tom
