I tried porridge with almond milk yesterday, it’s a no from me. Today I had Oreo cereal. I feel like these cereals are created for stoners. Their bright colours and promising branding lours you in but it’s completely average in taste and actually a little disappointing. Due to the lack of drugs in my system I was disappointed.

I got sun burn on my nose yesterday so I look like i’m constantly embarrassed which is annoying because I don’t really get embarrassed, other than that time I fell flat on my face in Battersea park in summer (so it was really busy) and I had to get up and say I was fine when in reality I wanted to cry. good times.

15°c and sunny! Can’t ask for too much more right now. I hope everyone remembered to vote yesterday, let’s be thankful we live in a democratic country where the opinion of the people matter and we’re not ruled over by an overly aggressive government and police force! #blessed

I, like everyone else, want to go on holiday. This year rather than saying where you want to go, you have to look at the logistics and if it’s worth it, stress wise rather than financially which is counter-intuitive because the whole point of going on holiday is to relax no?

Mexican beans
cumin roasted carrot rice
Mushroom + tomato pasta
Potato · spinach + paneer
Sandwich: Fennel salame, Scamorza (smoked mozzarella), Chilli relish + tomato
My heart keeps on thumping in my chest and no, it’s not what you’re thinking i’m not in love (im in love with myself but that’s just narcissism) but it’s very distracting. Don’t worry Dr. Google said i’m fine and I believe them #21stcenturykid

Sundried tomato + cashew pesto pasta

Tomorrow is my birthday, it’s also the deli’s birthday! 18 years of North St. Deli. My uncle changed the birthday of his dog so that I didn’t have to share my day with him but my Mum…nah she opened the deli on my birthday and since then i’ve always been second best! yes i’m bitter.

So its raining again. I like the rain but at the moment we ask customers to wait outside for their food and I actually feel guilty when I ask people to wait outside in this weather! I’m quite stone cold in general but asking people to stand in the wet cold outdoors just seems mean…

Edamame + crispy shallot rice
Spring green pasta
Korean spiced Roast pork noodles
Soup: Tuscan roast pepper + tomato
So apparently I have a weird vibe, which I should take as a compliment because ‘you have to have a certain amount of charisma to pull off the weird vibe’ I love our morning chats they fill me with such confidence…I know I can be questionable but I don’t think I have a weird vibe. Your mum has a weird vibe!

With nail salons back open i’m seeing some absolute works of art come through the door and i’m jealous. There I said it. If I had my way i’d have 2 inch claws painted garish colours with little rhinestones, but no. I can’t because i’d slam them in cupboard doors and get them caught in the coffee machine and that’s just painful. So conservative nails will have to do…woe is me.

Fregola with roast squash
Soup: Broccoli · potato + spinach
Sandwich: Chorizo, scamorza (smoked mozzarella), Spicy peach relish + tomato
I love my own company. Last night I got a pizza from Pizza Pilgrims and sat in front of Queen Lizzie’s house to watch the sun go down while listening to a nurse tell UK column that the vaccines aren’t being scrutinised and monitored in the same format that other vaccines are. It was divine.
Salads:

I had instant noodles last night, I don’t usually have anything so simple. Masterpieces like beans on toast or a bowl of cereal don’t really make an appearance in our house. I loved it, I had creamy tom yum flavour. I embellished it with crispy tofu and a soft boiled egg that was poached in an oriental braising liquid but still!

I’m not a huge fan of the general public. They’re quite overwhelming and I get stressed out and i’ll tell you for why. People are so touchy, I say some pretty outlandish things and when I do I expect a mixed response but when i’m having a casual conversation and someone gets pressed (for lack of a better word) for no reason I just want to throw my tongs in the air and go home. Rant over.
Salads:
Split peas + med veg
Spinach + herb rice
Parma ham ragu pasta

So we have 2 foxes that live in our garden and last night was like a live episode of Attenborough. The male fox defended the vixen when an outsider fox tried to join the party, twas reverting! It’s now an obsession I make sure they are in their nest nearly every morning and… I’ve named them. Send help.
