1. Wraps in the park with my brother! The weather kinda sucked that day but it stayed nice enough for us to sit out
2. Me eating dhal in my room (I use this recipe) by myself. The sweet potatoes were to go ontop but they ended up being too hot to touch in the moment so I just ate them on the side. I haven't put anything on the wall past my mirror but looking at the photo presents me with a strange void that I want to fill.
3. When I asked in the cafe what the lemonade was (given the option of still or sparkling) it turns out it was just a case of whether they added fizzy water. Cool photo though, right?
4. Em and I went to Franco Manca which was a totally bizarre experience. There were screens up to separate the tables and only the back of the restaurant was open. I still find myself acknowledging how surreal all of this is just when I almost forget how everything has changed.
5. A new book I've started - It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. I'm not sure if the film that's based on the novel has great reviews but I really liked it so wanted to give the book a whirl. I think it's super, super, superrrrrr vital that we educate ourselves on the importance of mental health and this book has been such an eye-opener so far. Review pending.
NOT PICTURED
1. I started a new Birth of Venus jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are all smart lasered (help me) which means they aren't square. They're squiggly. I even put Notting Hill on the other night to be the background of my jigsaw assembly and I still got nothing done.
2. I booked a hair appointment for next month. Wild.
3. I went to the park today and sat on a bench reading my book. A kid walked past and high-fived my foot and I completely forgot about it till just now. Why. His parents did apologise at least.
4. I'm in my Phoebe Bridgers phase of lockdown now.
5. I preordered this tennis skirt from AYM which is so cute.
6. I've been listening to Broke Girl Therapy on Spotify which is this hilariously honest playlist hosted by Stefanie Maegan. It's about dating, sex and all that good stuff.
