Just one more week. This year doesn’t feel so dramatic as the years before. If you don’t know, North St. usually closes for 4-5 weeks in August but this year we decided (with everything that’s going on) that it wouldn’t be worth it. So yes we are still closing, but only for 2 weeks. I know for many of you this is still a long time but listen, I need a break from y’all…#loveyou

Moose is recovering well but he looks like Frankenstein…in other news i’d like to give a shout out to Charlie for not being a Karen this morning and accepting the coffee with cow juice in it (instead of the hipster oat sauce he had requested). and shout out to Sonja…for being there. Is that what you wanted? Happy now? Honestly who asks their local coffee shop for shout out online? Sad.

My child is going under the knife today so i’m a little off kilter. Yes I am a mother to a 25kg Border Collie called Moose, the resemblance is uncanny! He’s going to have a shaved belly which won’t be cute but it’ll be great for the hot weather this week. Dogs basically a puffer jacket in 30 degree heat, can you imagine!!
