Ages and ages ago I used to do a Sunday summary of my week but gave up when I didn’t want to document my life that way anymore. I just had a look over some of the older posts and discovered I started recording my weeks during my final semester at Edinburgh (lol) in 2017 and kept it going until right before my interview at LCF. The months prior to that moment were pretty rough (to say the least) and it’s quite painful revisiting those memories. I’m so, so, soooooo proud of the progress I’ve made and it’s honestly crazy to think that as soon as I got accepted into LCF, my entire life changed.
ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE.
Now I'm back with a fresh update on what I've been up to these past seven days.
1. I cut my own hair again but it's not even or straight. I want to go full block fringe like Marianne in Normal People (I haven't finished this don't tell me what happens) but I’ve watched too many videos of it going wrong so I can’t. (I cleaned the bathroom mirror after this).
2. This is a lemon cheesecake I made with a very crumbly biscuit base. I’ve used the same recipe twice now and this always happens, maybe I’m not using enough butter? Maybe I don’t let it set for long enough? Maybe it’s the fridge?
3. This is the view of Canary Wharf from Greenwich where I went the other day.
4. I eat cereal in bed most mornings and this week I had some leftover Weetabix to finish, lucky me. I personally rate Weetabix maybe a 5/10 if I’m being generous but it reminds me of my childhood so I eat it for that reason.
5. This was a decaf iced latte pint I had the other day from a cafe down the road from me and I was surprised they gave me so much coffee??? (It wasn’t really a pint of course, but look at it)
6. My friend Emily in the park. We walked seven miles that day and I had this amazing falafel wrap from Broadway Market.
7. I’ve started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer because it’s on Amazon Prime. I’m still only on season one and it’s very this-is-a-90s-sitcom, you know? Then I was watching it the other night and it actually creeped me out a little so I turned it off. (This is a vampire btw).
8. The August issue of British Vogue came in the post a few days ago and this is me reading it in bed with the spine bent back, which in my opinion, makes the magazine easier to hold.
9. Jules and I just had McDonald's for dinner, why can't I get a chicken legend on Uber Eats?
10. I recommend following @the_midnight_club on Instagram who've been putting out great content throughout lockdown. I bought the Together We Move zine which you can purchase here and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust.
Hope you all had an excellent week,
Buh-bye,
