I started writing this post when I was on the tube at half seven on Thursday. It was quiet, very quiet but understandably so. Usually crammed full of commuters, tourists and people wanting to get home, when we calmly came to a halt at Liverpool Street there were about three people on the platform. Its been almost a week since I dipped my toe back in the tube travel pool, and I have to say, I'm finding it very unnerving. Everyone was wearing masks, of course, but it still felt surreal.
Another week in my life, let's get into it.
1. Social distancing reminders on the train.
2. A very quiet Liverpool Street station.
3. DRUM ROLL PLEASE I made my own katsu curry sauce! Here is the recipe. It was actually delicious, I let it cook down for a while and it became really thick and yummy. I used store-bought breaded chicken breasts and added sweetcorn and grated carrot. It recommends straining the sauce but until the other day, we didn't' have a sieve so I just used a blender to make it smooth. Yum.
5. Banana bread Jules brought home from work, it was delicious too.
6. Empty Regents Street last weekend after my friend and I went for dinner.
Other bits:
1. I found Jacqueline Colley on Etsy yesterday while looking for some prints for my room. Based in Hackney, her work is great!
2. I've just signed up for the VSCO membership (which is £19.99 for the year) because I was using the KC25 filter for free last week. I've seen you can get custom borders too but I haven't fully figured out how to use it yet. Stay tuned!
Something to think about going forward: "I’ve always had the view that how successful you are is really a function of how you deal with failure. If you deal with failure well and you persist, you have a high probability of being successful."
I am exhausted.
Until the next one,
