I’ve had a busier morning than I anticipated! One of my favourite interactions this morning was with a young boy who trotted up to the counter looked me dead in the eyes and said ‘i’d like a baguette, not a sandwich, not toast, not butter, I just want a baguette.’ He knew exactly what he wanted, no messing around, straight to the point. Respect.

Other than the junkies at the station, Camden was a ghost town. I haven’t been to Camden since its gentrification and its just weird. Everything is picture perfect, there’s no grunge, edginess or flavor. Its all bubble waffles and halloumi fries! However there was music playing really loudly in the covered market so I did have a dance break, I assume they now have CCTV so to the security working the night shift…you’re welcome.

I ask a lot of questions. It can sometimes annoy people but I do it to gain knowledge. There is so much to know and learn so I don’t waste time.

So we now have a road map to guide us to a lockdown free life. Great. Let’s carry on with the metaphors then. How many planned roadworks will there be and have the correct diversion routes all ready been set up or will they just wing it? Have they anticipated the heavy traffic on the main roads that will cause a build up of emissions and have they considered the angry divers that will then take the law into their own hands and choose a different route? Most importantly was this road map made by the most suitable and qualified person for the job or was it set out by someones mate?

So about last night. ‘Shall I compare thee to a pig?’. I, like everyone else, let myself go at Christmas. Only problem is I still haven’t got a hold on things.
