SUNDAY SUMMARY 2.3

I feel like cleaning and replacing the head of my electric toothbrush is a form of self-care that's not talked about enough. Just now I removed the crusty (really was awful, the bristles probably say something about my current level of stress) brush head, wiped off all the residual toothpaste and clipped in a new fitting. The process, the aftermath, I mean I myself even feel clean.

This week has been busy busy BUSY, let's get into it. 

1. Jules and I escaped to IKEA in the week to buy stuff for the flat and purchase we did. New mugs, more cutlery, throw cushions, a table runner. Yes. 

2. Look at these autumnal vibes in the living room, so cosy. 

3. I made granola, again.

4. Double parked working from bed.

5. Ummm yes. I saw a gourmet fish finger sandwich recipe on TikTok and had to recreate. Comprised of some lettuce, a fair amount of mayonnaise and two fish fingers, each sandwich is cased inside a delicious brioche bun. (However, after three days of eating these consecutively, I felt sick). 

Not pictured:

The fish tacos I made last night with out of date corn wraps and disintegrated fried fish. Disaster. 

Other stuff: 

I enjoyed the 'closing tabs' post where I wrote about webpages I was cleansing my phone of so here's this weeks offering. Do we just love one person forever? (Note I spelt person perdon because I was in a hurry for the answer). Wide leg suit pants. Gymshark shorts. Women's Air Force 1 shoes. London laundry services. Jennifer Connelly's Wikipedia page (I looked this up after watching half of A Beautiful Mind but felt odd because an ex said I looked like her). That stupid Listen Alike thing that Spotify rolled out in the week. The lyrics to My Best Friends in The World from Adventure Time. Cable Kickbacks. BBC News homepage. An introduction to the type of personality I have on 16personalities.com (I'm not going to share my result because I don't think it was right). Zara homepage. Define: ophthalmology. A Ramen recipe. 

Yesterday I watched the RBG documentary on Netflix and started crying five minutes in. Truly incredible and aspirational. You have to watch it. (Jules and I also started watching Ratched but it's confusing me). 

Quote forever: "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception."  Ruth Bader Ginsburg 

And another from the documentary: 'I ask no favours for my sex, all I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks' - Sarah Moore Grimké

Have a great week everyone,
