Finally some weather that kind of feels like summer. I was out all weekend. One of my highlights was Moose and I in Richmond park, I was on my bike and he was trotting along beside me. It was gangster. I vowed one thing when I bought a bike… I will not be one of those lycra cyclists that think everyday is tour de France.

Last night proved how important service is in a restaurant, the food was decent but there was no passion. This weekend I intend to teach moose how to run with a bike. He’s a very competitive boy, it took me a while to teach him that when I’m jogging I don’t want him to chase me and bite my ankles.

I had a strange phone call yesterday after we closed. The person on the other end just kept saying my full name in a cheeky tone and then hung up. There was no caller ID and I can’t figure out who it is but it was kind of creepy. That’s just fans I guess…

Me and the voices in my head thought it would be a good idea to go on a bike ride last night. It started pouring down on my journey. It was actually weirdly fun. I imagined myself in an action movie racing against a timer. The rain was pounding down flattening my curls and I blasted insomnia by Faithless then sandstorm by Darude. I’d make a great action hero.

I’d like to remind everyone that it is August. You might have forgotten because of the miserable weather, also the first half of this year has flown by so fast you might have lost track. This morning has consisted mainly of dancing as we’ve been quite quiet so i’m in a great mood. Please don’t ruin it. I’m talking to you Karen

What did I do this weekend? Sleep. I had plans I just missed them all! I don’t know what happened whenever I sat down I was asleep within minutes. I didn’t realise I was exhausted. I think i’m revitalised now but if you catch me napping at work don’t wake me…I bite.

When considering what dog is right for you take into consideration how energetic the breed is. Last night at 1am when I was trying to get some rest my dog used me as a step to stare out the window. The animal I feed and keep safe stood on my back to watch the birds and the bees #truelove?

Has anyone’s life gone back to normal? Everyone was hyping up ‘freedom day’ but nothing’s really changed. The BBC are giving cummings a lot of air time for his expose on the government. Amazing that he thinks that we don’t all know that Boris is a d**k head…
