I expected to feel like death today and I’m surprisingly chipper, so that’s nice. I have an angry concentration face so I think a lot of people assume I’m always in a bad mood. I just get so absorbed in making salads and doing latte art. Don’t get offended it’s not you it’s me.

Good morning sunshine! Oh wait, there is no sunshine…and it’s now autumn so the chance of sunshine is minimal. The cloudy weather didn’t stop most of the population indulging in a bit of festival season this weekend. It’s fun to watch all the delicate souls come in the morning after filled with regret, aches and pains.

My weekend was great. Dinners out, escape room, a hike in Surrey and too many hours of real housewives. It was bliss. But that happy feeling came to a screeching halt when I found out my oat milk mistakenly went out with a catering order over the weekend. I am a coffee shop in London with no oat milk, how embarrassing!!

Coffee is my best friend today. It may surprise some of you but I’m not addicted to coffee. I love a cup of joe in the morning but I’m not necking shots all day. I just like to feed off the Clapham vibes and on days when my chakras aren’t aligned I over indulge in my favourite drug, cocai…caffeine.

It’s one of those days where you want to just curl up into a ball and cry. My bread delivery isn’t here, I have a pile of work to do and it’s cold outside. If I look distant today it’s just because i’m internally screaming hoping this nightmare will come to an end. Lot’s of love.

Do you ever do online shopping and you’re at the check out looking at your basket and you just stop and think ‘what am I doing? I don’t need this.’ and just close your browser? I do this often. Mainly because I remember it’s all overpriced, mass produced shite that I can get second hand in good condition and at a better price. What a wasteful society.

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.

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.
