So apparently I have a weird vibe, which I should take as a compliment because ‘you have to have a certain amount of charisma to pull off the weird vibe’ I love our morning chats they fill me with such confidence…I know I can be questionable but I don’t think I have a weird vibe. Your mum has a weird vibe!

With nail salons back open i’m seeing some absolute works of art come through the door and i’m jealous. There I said it. If I had my way i’d have 2 inch claws painted garish colours with little rhinestones, but no. I can’t because i’d slam them in cupboard doors and get them caught in the coffee machine and that’s just painful. So conservative nails will have to do…woe is me.

I love my own company. Last night I got a pizza from Pizza Pilgrims and sat in front of Queen Lizzie’s house to watch the sun go down while listening to a nurse tell UK column that the vaccines aren’t being scrutinised and monitored in the same format that other vaccines are. It was divine.

I’m not a huge fan of the general public. They’re quite overwhelming and I get stressed out and i’ll tell you for why. People are so touchy, I say some pretty outlandish things and when I do I expect a mixed response but when i’m having a casual conversation and someone gets pressed (for lack of a better word) for no reason I just want to throw my tongs in the air and go home. Rant over.

Sometimes customer will ask me harmless personal questions like ‘how old are you?’ ‘do you have kids’ etc and I don’t know why but I seem to take center stage and create a whole new narrative for myself. This morning I was 26 and I had 4 kids, 2 of them are twins (detail is key) and I find it very entertaining to see how people react. Is that weird? Am I sick?
