MONDAY
A new week and a new dawn. Went to first ever spin class. All very exciting. Especially with the special shoes. Had to be clipped in. Unfortunately couldn’t clip out at the end. And remained stuck like a limpet on a rock. Had to be rescued by the instructor. Really enjoying a neon pink manicure. Goes with everything. Proving once and for all that neon is a neutral. And leopard print. Bet Lynch had the right idea. Have lost mirrorball from keyring. Rolled off somewhere leaving a very unattractive screw in its place. Quite like to think of it rolling around in a corner creating a disco somewhere.
TUESDAY
Still haven’t unpacked case from weekend. Tripped over it 48 times. Now taken to adding things to it. Something must be done. Have lost a cup of tea. Left it somewhere in the flat. Have real sense of incompletion. Very unsettling. Also quite fancy it. Washing machine smells awful. Needs fancy washing machine cleaner but don’t have any. Read somewhere vinegar on a hot wash does the same thing. Should have been white vinegar but only have white wine vinegar. What’s the worst that can happen. Chucked it in and put it on. Actually worked a treat. Found cold cup of tea in the airing cupboard. Very odd.
WEDNESDAY
Bought a squashed milk bottle. Felt sorry for it. Also bought bagels. Was meant to contain five but opened it to find SIX. What a happy, happy day. Have recently been having one and a half by cutting two and replacing one half into the bag for the next day but decided this was cause for celebration and had two. Four halves. What a morning. Celebrations were short lived as Charlotte Tilbury compact powder fell into a cup of tea. Slipped straight off my makeup bag and dunked itself. It never ends. June rang. She’s got a very large new first-aid tin. Mainly full of Berocca. She seemed pleased with it. Pasta bake with chorizo crumb for dinner. A triumph.
THURSDAY
Burnt the last of the sourdough. Resisted the temptation to throw it on top of the flat roof. Not after last time. Pigeons the size of turkeys. Great confusion this afternoon. Couldn’t get the printer to plug in. Lead wouldn’t fit at the back. Very strange. Got desperate so went down the road to Snappy Snaps. £3 to print three pages. THREE POUNDS. Wasn’t even the right font. Came home to realise the printer actually plugs in behind a small flap at the back. Went for eye test. Very busy. Eye tests strangely popular. Had test and she said there was no need for glasses. Fun to see a photo of the back of your own eye. Went out for a cup of tea afterwards. Had salted honeycomb tiffin. Shall think of nothing else for the rest of the day.
FRIDAY
Decided now Jon and I are married it’s only right we get a shared railcard. Chose two particularly glamorous pictures of us. Why not. Booked tickets to Bristol. Paid for itself already. Made banana bread. Had to nip out for baking powder and then inevitably found some in the cupboard. Didn’t have a loaf tin so made it in a casserole dish. Not much to look at and accidentally vegan but tasted good. Ended up having it at 6PM. Wasn’t hungry enough for dinner so had Weetabix. The proper stuff. Thought about buying own brand but remembered how dry it was. Like a giant Ryvita. Life is too short for bad Weetabix.
