What’s the plan for this time next Sunday? Will you be doing an edit of your sweater shelf? Or maybe you’re going to be out in the garden preparing the flowerbeds for the chillier months ahead? Or might it be one of those Sundays when you sleep in, go for a leisurely walk, pick up that long-abandoned book and brace yourself for the mad dash to year’s end?There’s also a sunnier scenario that goes something like this. Off the back of Monocle’s Quality of Life Conference in Istanbul (which kicks off with a welcome cocktail at the Peninsula this Thursday, conference plus dinner on Friday and wraps on Saturday around midday), we’re inviting Monocle Patrons to join us for two nights at Maçakizi in Bodrum to keep the conversation going, enjoy some refreshing dips in the Med and linger over a long Sunday lunch with our editors and friends old and new. If you’ve not yet secured a ticket to the conference you can find out more here, and if you want to become a Patron and see Andrew Tuck lead our editors in a synchronised swimming routine then drop a note to Holly Anderson at han@monocle.com. As for me, I’ll be on hand making sure your glass is full, you have plenty to read and you’re applying the correct SPF to stay suitably bronzed till the start of the ski season.As we’re so far east, why stop at the edge of the Med? Why not go all the way to the east coast of Australia? Yes, dear reader, at long last Monocle is returning for a special, one-night-only twirl in Sydney circa mid-November and we’re very much looking forward to hosting all our subscribers for an evening of discussion, inspiration and a spot of shopping. More on date, time, venue and format over the coming weeks. Shortly after we’ll be hosting a media summit in Paris and then our Christmas markets in Zürich and London, not to forget mini editions in Toronto and Tokyo.And finally, a little extra bit of exciting housekeeping news. Regulars to the London café will soon have to slightly alter their morning routine as we’re about to start renovations to Chiltern Street. In the meantime, we’re opening a cosy little pop-up in the courtyard of Midori House. Our fine coffee and Swedish buns will be available for takeaway every day of the week, as well as a healthy supply of our latest editions. Along the shoreline from Zürich, in Küsnacht, we’ll be closing the Oxbox for the season at the end of this month and reopening in St Moritz at the start of December. Worry not, there’ll be a little end of season event. Last but certainly not least, our Hong Kong outpost in St Francis Yard is also getting an overhaul and will reopen just in time for Christmas. Before all of that, hope to see you in Bodrum next weekend.
