My favourite snap this week. The fish and chip cafe’s loos. Pleasing colours and a perfect arrow. Click clack clock.

Since I started popping 2 x magnesium supplements before bed my restless legs finally rested. TOUCH WOOD. It’s horrible. My calves clenched continuously when I was tired.

I took a big risk in making pasta for my Italian house guest and he said it was EXCEPTIONAL. Ate two servings. I am the queen of everything now.

Folded fabric in a pile. Black linen at the bottom with a grey blue stubby linen next followed by a navy / cream wide striped linen with a pice of red cotton on top.

I have been fabric shopping in Cape Town. For the future me that is an accomplished seamstress. And whilst we are about it, why are women seamstresses and men tailors? I smell a rat.

If it’s any consolation I’m doing 10 hour work days too

Plumber has just left. I’m back. What a relief.

Day 3. No heating or hot water. I am coping admirably with the disruption but might lose my patience today. I find the lack of communication very wearing. 3 professional people promising to call me back but didn’t.

The eye of the storm in a home emergency (boiler leaking lots of water) is not the time to find out how utterly shite your home insurance emergency cover is. I’ve got no water, no heating and on my last bit of water in the kettle. The engineer hopes to come by 6pm.

Twitter was really really good for a while wasn’t it? Christ those were the glory days. What larks we had.

I can’t bring myself to tell my boss how awful it all is and that his ‘popularity’ which truly exists in reality is just a load of twats feasting on his success. They comment all the time and it’s like a weird boys club of self congratulation. Don’t feel bad, it’s all as fake & fawning as Insta

When I see comments about V Beckham being ‘really funny’ and self deprecating I’m always puzzled because she’s not. Celine on the other hand is very clever and funny. Relatable despite being a zillionaire. Love her.

Just bawled my head off in the cinema watching Hamnet. Very emotional, if you are fragile - avoid!

📣📣 If you know Paris, I’d love your help for a work thing. If you were to go somewhere in Paris to read a book, where would you suggest? All non touristy ideas gratefully received. Can be a cafe, gallery, library, outdoor space etc etc

I don’t expect anyone will do anything. I’d find a traffic warden and get them to ticket it. I think that’s why they’ve removed the number plate.

Heading to my mums to get the update on whatever The Daily Mail is saying. I have to remain sweet lipped as last time I questioned the general thought process I was excommunicated from the inner family for 4 years. For having notions.

The best present I received this year was a handmade book of tokens filled with such delights as ‘one hedge trim’ and ‘one car wash inside and out’. I asked for a ranch hand and it’s the next best thing.

Yes just a couple of emulsion samples slightly watered down.

My toxic trait is painting my Xmas wrapping paper the day before I need it. I really liked my weird jammy dodgers.
