London went into a secondary lockdown (pretty much) at midnight on Friday, along with other cities across the UK, as the government introduced new restrictions to help try curve the rising cases of Coronavirus. My anxiety and I have been on a steady incline for several consecutive days since this news also escalated.
Another seven days down of 2020, let’s get into it.
What’s the general consensus on bumping into people a) you haven’t seen for a while and b) weren’t expecting to see. Maybe not even bumping into, maybe just seeing from a distance and being so alarmed you completely forget regular bodily functions, assuming fight or flight immediately. That’s where I'm at after it happened today.
1. Coffee from a walk…
2. …I took myself for an early morning stroll at the beginning of the week. I feel like I’ve been waking up on the wrong side of the bed for days so it was nice to get up, nip out and feel the fresh morning air.
3. Couscous, roasted peppers and harissa in bed
4. In my opinion, Krispy Kreme makes the best doughnuts...maybe ever...
5. Flowers from the market! I loveeeeee Sunday flowers from the market, they make my whole week. When I was putting them in separate vases earlier (one being an old washed out glass coffee pot) I considered what it would be like to be a florist. How does one become a florist?
6. I bought a sweater vest a few months ago and here’s me trying to get some wear out of it. I do really like it though, it’s very warm. Maybe I need a big beige overcoat? I keep seeing people around London wearing them and I have coat envy- of course - it’s that time of year.
Tabs from the week:
Eytys Cypress Tar Jeans (I want these so badly but £190?) Ruby’s Soho. 15 Mistakes you definitely don’t want to make in the gym (I’ll start: don’t snog someone who works there). Kermit the frog at Christmas. NYX Epic Ink Liner (which I bought btw and I’ve already botched the nib). Royal Mail track and trace, again.
A quote from the James Clear newsletter I’m always banging on about: ‘I’d estimate at least half of my frustrations with others are actually frustrations with myself for failing to set clear boundaries and stand by them’.
Until the next one, stay safe,
