I watched The Green Mile this weekend, not what I expected and it went on 30 mins too long in my opinion. This week it’s go, go, go. I will be getting into work for 6am everyday (lucky i’m a morning person). I’m really craving a lockdown! Just kidding!

Pubs are set to open this weekend, it’s gonna be carnage! The British public loves a drink and some people can become disorderly to put it nicely.

Herbed rice
Roast chicken + tarragon pasta

So i’m attempting to exercise everyday for the next 30 days. This includes a bit of running…how do people do this. I just wanna give a shout out to everyone that runs, you make it look easy.

Tofu rice
Ham + mushroom ragu pasta
Soup of the day: Bean + aubergine

Turkish spiced sweetcorn rice
Smokey aubergine pasta
Soup of the day: Gazpacho

Edamame + crispy shallot rice
Roast vegetable ragu pasta

It’s not for me. I got desperate and ordered a pair of trainers online…they are the ugliest crepes i have ever purchased. They were too big uncomfortable and just an all round no. How did I get it so wrong. So today i’m rocking converse and I can’t wait for the foot ache at the end of the day from wearing shoes with ZERO structure. Yay.

Panzanella

Rice noodle salad
Leek · olive + tomato pasta
Soup: Leek · dill + tomato
If you have a family member that you don’t see eye to eye with do you stay silent or do you explain your point of view? It’s an excuse we hear time and time again ‘it’s a generation thing’ or ‘don’t bother their old and stuck in their ways’. This cements the premise that no one is capable of change. If you can change your habits at 20 you can at 80.

Kidney beans + rainbow peppers
Squash + oregano rice
Chicken ragu pasta
Soup of the day: Spiced lentils
I don’t really put much effort into how I look but I have a specific family member that I feel the need to dress up for. If I don’t, I know they will silently judge me or make a snide comment. When I say ‘dress up’ I mean no rips or stains in my clothing. But still.

Soup of the day: Sweet potato · ginger + tomato

I need this weekend to come round pronto. I feel deflated. I’m also in dire need of new shoes, trainers to be exact. I’m lucky I have the counter to hide my sinful shoes. The soles are hanging on with a tiny bit of glue who knows how long they have left. Shoes are one thing I just can’t bring myself to buy online and with the new guidelines for shopping i’d rather be bare feet!
Salads of the day:
Moroccan spiced lentils
Cumin roasted carrot rice
Chicken + ham ragu pasta
Soup of the day: Spinach · Tomato + cumin
I watched Funny Girl and The Breakfast Club. Maybe if they weren’t so pre hyped I would have liked them more. Funny girl was good but WAY to long, Barbra Steisand is amazing. The Breakfast Club is a great concept I just feel it could have been executed better. Just my opinion.

Harissa and spinach rice
Roast vegetable ragu pasta
Sandwich of the day: Cooked ham, Mature cheddar, Branston pickle + tomato

Broccoli · chilli + garlic pasta
Soup of the day: Spiced red lentils + tomato

Some people wear too much aftershave. Like, if I can taste it you’ve gone to far…maybe that should be a rule of thumb. The deli should smell of coffee or aromatic salads, not Calkin Klien and Paco Roban!

Marinated tofu noodle salad
Chicken · bacon + leek pasta
