‘Concierge know me by name’ the tenant of an overpriced Wapping flat beams at me ‘they know everyone's names, it’s so great, it’s one of the perks of living here. Before I would’ve thought: what’s so good about having a concierge? But now I’m like wow. We’re only moving out of here...
Clearing the draining board is a task I lament. It’s the most annoying, frustrating and laborious part of my day, despite only taking a mere 20 seconds to complete. I don’t look forward to it, I am upset when the plates are in my hands and afterwards I feel no sense of relief. Sometimes...
More often than not these days I find myself Googling every question on my mind. This can be anything from health symptoms, to working out how tall I'd be if I was wearing 6 inch heels, to tomato soup recipes and sneaker raffles I'll never win. So it’s your usual Tuesday evening,...
I think I'm having a lockdown induced I'm-imminently-turning-26-and-being-25-was-a-complete-waste-of-time crisis. I also have mashed potato on my jumper, leggings and part of the washing machine. 'How did this happen?' my flatmate asked 'it just did' I replied with tears in...
Today was the second day I went out with a tag left inside a recently bought piece of clothing because I’m still on the fence about it. I’ve worn it all day, this dress from Zara, pairing it with tights, a sweater vest and some under the knee boots* which I am as equally unsure about....
I seem to be having some reoccurring bad luck lately which is this: I run into our local (very, very small) convenience store in search of a maximum of three things at any given time, crisps, fish fingers or feta cheese. This specific shop has around three aisles, four if you include...
I had an unexpected double trip to the dentist in the week which was as expensive, as annoying and as painful as it sounds. I blame my longstanding sweet tooth that has guided me nowhere but to misery. Still, at 25, I will go to Tesco, do an armful of grocery shopping, and with my...
After reading a post on Reddit, I’ve concluded I’m allergic to McDonald’s, I think. The canker sores and ulcers in my mouth would agree too, which are, according to user123, a result of the salt that's been liberally applied to all their fries. Maybe I’ve reached the age where I...
Two things: Firstly, somehow and someway, this weekend marks my one year anniversary of living in London. I honestly have no idea where the time has gone and mentally I’m still in March. Nonetheless, and to commemorate this momentous occasion, I took a quick dive into my camera roll...
During lockdown 2.0 I’ve been forcing myself to go out on morning walks because I refuse to run (something something it’s bad for my knees something something). Rolling out of bed when the sun is barely brushing past Canary Wharf, I (and for some reason) spend at least twenty minutes...
On Friday I made cheese on toast with beans for lunch, which was then closely followed by a lukewarm cheese string that had been out the fridge for too long. I pulled together this award-winning meal after letting out a few dry sobs and listening to Bloc Party.Despite this confession,...
What a weird week. The past few days have been some kind of strange, dystopic pendulum swing between routinely checking the US election results and clicking on the Coronavirus tab on the BBC News website as we go into a second lockdown. Now I'm listening to The XX like it's...
I just did that thing when you're trying to get the last remaining drops of moisturizer from the tube so you unscrew the cap and tentatively squeeze out roughly a fingertip worth; enough to cover your face. Except I didn't do it gently, I used the full force of my thumb and 10 faces...
I'm currently toasting a ham and cheese sandwich to within an inch of its life while rapidly eating some sea salted pretzels I got from Tesco last night. I have a preference for semi burnt bread. And semi burnt bagels. I can't stand a sad, soggy slice that's still limp when you remove...
Did I ever tell you I read an article once which included a segment about how if someone (this piece pertained to guys) has their bed in the middle of their room it means they have their life together and are ready to date? Both parties then have their own 'side' of the bed and you...
I’ve been trying to figure out how to introduce this week’s Sunday Summary but it’s been a strange 72 hours, to say the least. I’m in the process of boiling some eggs (right now, next to me, in a pan) and I’m making my own chicken ramen for the first time.London went into a secondary...
